Emily was first introduced to dentistry as so many are - in general practice and in tears, extracting teeth on a large dog. She has utilized her experiences as a general practitioner to help educate veterinary students and colleagues on dentistry and oral surgery and instill her passion for teeth. Emily has an interest in saving teeth as well as improving perception of patient outcomes following maxillofacial surgery for removal of oral tumors. Outside of work, she enjoys trails running, vanlife trips, and her rescued fur-children a black Labrador retriever (Smokey) and a smushed faced Persian (Charms).
