About Paula Demings
Philosophy of care
Partnership and patient education are the cornerstones of successful dental treatment. I love teaching my patients and parents how they can play an active role in improving or maintaining their oral and overall health.Why I entered medicine
I was fortunate to have wonderful experiences at the dentist as a child, but I know many are not as lucky. This is especially true for marginalized communities including minorities and low-income families. I strive to be accessible and relatable to my patients while creating fun and happy experiences at the dentist.Community involvement
