During her two-year residency, Dr. Alex received extensive training in behavior management, care for patients with special needs and complex medical conditions, the management of oral and facial trauma, and dental treatment under conscious sedation and general anesthesia. Afterwards, she moved to Memphis, where her husband was working as a dentist in the United States Navy. They relocated to work in Wisconsin for a number of years until deciding to put down roots in Grand Rapids. Dr. Alex officially joined the Mitten Kids Dentistry family in July 2021!
Dr. Alex believes strongly in educating both parents and children about the importance of establishing good oral health habits at an early age and has a passion for working with the families of children with special health care needs. Her goal is to ensure that each of her patients has a positive, successful visit to the dentist, every time they’re here. When she’s not working, Dr. Alex enjoys spending time outdoors or at the lakeshore with her husband Tom and their two kids, Mila and Henry.
