LEADING THE WAY TO BIGGER SMILES!

Tooth Taxi Team

  • Travis Davis, DMD

    "If you're hurting all the time, you're not going to do well in life. If we can take the pain away so kids can stay in school and succeed, that's a good thing."

  • Alona Kostenko, Dental Assistant

    "The dentist made me nervous when I was little. We have kids on the Tooth Taxi who think tooth-pulling is part of their visit, and I can understand that feeling."

  • Steven Sadaya, Dental Assistant

    "I want kids to feel comfortable going to the dentist and to be able to smile again."

  • Carrie Peterson, Program Manager

    "The Tooth Taxi is often the first dental experience for the children we see. Any impact we can have on the importance of oral health sets children up for life."
