Dr. Caron Glickman

Dr. Caron Glickman

DDS

I’ll tell you why I love being a dentist: It’s because I love my patients, and I can see the positive impact that my work has on their lives, on their health and self-esteem. When you are in pain or self-conscious about your smile or facial appearance, it holds you back from fully expressing yourself. I’ve seen my patients’ confidence grow. This is very rewarding to me, and it’s an honour to serve in this way.
