What’s it really like growing up with a pediatric dentist as your mom?

Do dentist's kids actually have perfect teeth... or do they rebel just like everyone else?

In this special episode of the Ask the Dentist Podcast, my daughters, Anna and Masha, join me for one of the most personal conversations we've ever had.

We talk about childhood memories, healthy habits, parenting, college life, braces, dental emergencies, career choices, and the lessons that shaped our family long before they became adults.

This isn't just a conversation about dentistry.

It's a conversation about raising healthy, confident, resilient children.
