“Dr. T is super great and I’m utterly thankful for her help and expertise in repairing my daughter’s tooth. My daughter fell at school and chipped her front tooth partially exposing the nerve. Making the call for an emergency visit and Dr. T was able to work us in after her lunch. Dr. T was incredible at speaking to my daughter to calm her down and to understand what she was going to do to save the tooth. My daughter is super excited she can smile again with her tooth repaired.Thank you for saving my daughter’s tooth, Dr. T!”
