We want your child to enjoy visits to our office and to have fun caring for his or her smile. We love caring for the smiles of children of all ages, and we can't wait to meet you and your child.

I was born and raised in West Michigan and am thrilled to be able to live and work here. I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we are busy at home with two sons and a daughter. I attended dental school at Indiana University where I graduated in the top of my class and was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society.

My name is Megan and I am a dental hygienist. Even before I realized I wanted to be a dental hygienist, I knew I wanted to work with children. I started my education at Calvin College and later transferred into the Dental Hygiene program at Grand Rapids Community College. I am excited to be at GPD to watch the kids grow, overcome their fears, and learn how to grow up with a healthy mouth.
Ages & Stages
Report
Your baby's teeth will typically start to erupt when he or she is around 6-8 months. Girl's teeth often erupt slightly earlier than boy's teeth. Once their teeth start to erupt, start brushing them with a soft baby toothbrush twice a day. Most children will benefit from the use of fluoridated toothpaste.
