How is Uptown Pediatric Dentistry involved in our community? We donate to local charities and fundraisers, sponsor events, and provide dental educational outreach to the community. My husband, Adam Dennis, is a local Pelican Publishing author who visits elementary schools in the area to read his book Gary and the Tooth Fairy to the children and provide valuable dental education.

What is special about New Orleans to you? New Orleans is a big city [that] feels like a small town. It is a tight-knit and caring community. That is why Uptown Pediatric Dentistry and I maintain such a strong presence among New Orleanians. New Orleans is a town where everyone knows each other and tries to be involved. What products/services do you offer? Uptown Pediatric Dentistry specializes in dental care for infants, children, teens, and those with special needs. I offer in-house sedation and hospital-based dentistry if needed.
