About
I'm Cherie, pediatric dental assistant and member of the American Dental Assistants Association. An important part of dental assisting involves firsthand interaction with patients (and parents) before, during, and after procedures. In this capacity, it is my job to help keep everyone both comfortable and informed.
However, there seems to be a general "disconnect" in terms of public understanding on the impact of oral care in relation to overall health. Likely, this disconnect is rooted in how society views dentistry. Unfortunately, dentistry is often viewed or treated as a wholly separate or distinct part of medical care.

Dentistry is as much a part of our healthcare system, as the oral cavity is part of the whole (body). I created this blog not only to express my interest in the dental field, but to help educate and spread awareness on the importance of oral health.
