Meet your child's dentist
Dr. Thompson is a board-certified pediatric dentist who has spent her entire career caring for children. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she discovered her love for pediatric dentistry, then moved to Dallas to complete an intensive two-year pediatric residency at Baylor College of Dentistry (now Texas A&M College of Dentistry).
Pediatric dentists complete years of specialty training beyond dental school focused on one thing: children. That means care built around how kids actually experience the chair — patient, gentle, and calm — from a first visit to complex needs.

Common questions
Children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth appearing, whichever comes first. Early visits are short and gentle, and they help your child get comfortable so future visits feel routine. If your child is older and hasn't been yet, the best time to start is now.
A pediatric dentist completes additional years of specialty training after dental school focused entirely on infants, children, and teens, including their growth, behavior, and unique dental needs. Dr. Thompson is board-certified and has spent more than 15 years caring exclusively for children.
Most children should see the dentist every six months for an exam and cleaning. Some children benefit from a different schedule depending on their cavity history, and Dr. Thompson will recommend what's right for your child.
