My patients call me Dr. Jessica. I am a Board-Certified pediatric dentist practicing in N.Y.C. since 2001. This book was inspired by many years of practicing pediatric dentistry and the special bonds I made throughout the years with my patients and their families. The special bond attributes to the trust built between myself and my patients, the commitment of the parents to bring their children for routine dental cleanings and treatments, and my patients’ understanding the importance of good oral hygiene and habits. I am extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to watch my patients grow from children to young adults. Thank you to my patients and future patients for allowing me to be a part of your journey.
