By building an atmosphere designed to relate to the imagination, Tooth Story makes the experience of seeing the dentist a life adventure! We know there's nothing in the world that gives parents/guardians more joy than seeing a warm smile spread across their children's faces.
Our vision is to present dentistry as an exciting opportunity for fun and family-centered care.
Dr. Emilie is a general dentist that has dedicated her career to serving the pediatric population and young adults. Tooth Story is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to create a place for kids and young adults to go for their oral health needs through a child-centered approach. As a mother of two, Dr. Emilie understands firsthand the anxieties and importance of having your children loved and cared for. Dr. Emilie and her staff strive to create an environment where kids and young adults learn valuable lessons and have fun at the dentist!
Dr. Emilie completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). She is native to Manhattan, KS, and a graduate of Kansas State University where she was also a student-athlete having played for the K-State Wildcats women's basketball team. Dr. Emilie has a wide range of experiences that include inner-city clinics, special-needs patients and rural areas working specifically with the pediatric population. Upon returning home to Manhattan, Dr. Emilie is excited to provide excellent dental care to youth in Manhattan and all surrounding communities.
