In order to complete this mandate , the pediatric dentist should be able to utilize and / or have access to all treatment modalities approved and recognized by their respective provincial licencing bodies . This should include current behaviour modification techniques , as well as access to sedation and general anesthesia .
I also have been most fortunate to have Dr . Michal Goralski , Pediatric Dentist and a Past President of CAPD / ACDP join me in the practice where I now work as an associate . His presence will allow the practice to continue to provide essential care for children for years to come , long after I retire .
I continue to give presentations to impart some of the knowledge gained through my many years of practicing Pediatric Dentistry , as well as practice management , thanks to the additional knowledge gained in the Kellogg EMBA course . The presentations are given both nationally , in the USA and Internationally , which I enjoy immensely .

What do you enjoy the most about your job ?
I feel so very privileged to provide comprehensive dental care to relieve pain and suffering for children affected by the devastation of dental disease which includes those with special needs , the medically and behaviourally comprised and very young children .
What do you find most challenging ?
In my opinion , the stress has definitively increased in the healing professions whether medicine or dentistry due to increased demands by parents , constant encroachment and restrictive government regulations , the threat of litigation , the internet , the more restrictive paradigm shifts that have taken place in how we can treat children but to name a few .
What is the most misunderstood aspect about Pediatric Dentistry ?
The lack of knowledge in society about the devastating effects of Early Childhood / Childhood Caries or dental disease on children ’ s ’ health , academic performance , interference with sleep , chronic and acute pain , and overall well-being !
