As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide 'dental health care' rather than 'disease care'.

We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Check out these 4 habits to keep an amazing smile between dentist visits. At RIver Oak Dental, we aren 't just focused on the beauty of your smile, we 're also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

My name is Khadijah Mckinney, and I currently work as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant here at River Oak Dental. My interest in dentistry sparked around the age of 10, having wearing braces for the majority of my childhood and teens, I found myself becoming more and more intrigued with dentistry, which eventually led me to pursue a career in the field.
In my spare time, I like spending quality time with my mother Brenda and older sister Ashley. Our favorite thing to do as a family is to watch Family Feud together, trying to guess all the number one answers. I am also a bit of a book worm and tend to always have my nose in a really good mystery or sci-fi book.
As of today, my personal main goal as an assistant is to help you maintain and achieve your ideal smile, as well as provide you the comfort and care during your dental treatment, which I feel is just as important as the treatment itself.
