My first experience with a dental incident was when my twin fractured her maxillary central incisor by being popped in the mouth with a pole vaulting bar.

Larry Leemaster for 9 years and Dr. Zane Weaver for 6 years at Moore Smiles Family Dentistry. I’ve recently accepted a position at the VA Dental Clinic and plan to start April 16, 2018, to further advance my knowledge. My goal is to learn as much as I can from the doctors that I assist. I am not a traditional student and it’s been 10 years since I last attended college. Although I still have time to volunteer at OKMOM for the last 9 years. I enjoy donating my time and skills, helping people make a difference in a patient’s smile and helping with their confidence. I have volunteered on days off to teach kids how to properly brush and floss their teeth. The time that I do not spend at the office or clinic, I am spending it with my two daughters. The oldest is getting ready for second grade and the youngest for Pre-K. I work full-time and any second, I can get with them is worth it. They teach me how to be a better person and mother. My family is my priority and I know they support any decision I make with my career. We spend most of our time learning how to read and write. They attend a private school in Moore so they get the best education we possibly can give them. They love seeing new things and making projects with my vinyl machine. Dentistry has been my life for the last 10 years. Thank you for your
