Meet Dr. Carrasco
After practicing as a general dentist for several years, I found my true calling was providing dental care for children and I made the decision to specialize in pediatric dentistry.
I have the opportunity to watch children grow up in the practice, from the time their first tooth erupts to the time they graduate high school. It is an honor to be part of each child’s life, sharing in their adventures and dreams: I love that I spend my days with such amazing people and get to help them develop healthy, confident smiles!
