Distinctive Smiles of Baton Rouge is led by, Sancerie O’Rourke-Allen, DDS, an experienced and dedicated professional. She is passionate about helping patients obtain good oral health that lasts and does so by giving her patients personal attention and care. At her practice, patients of all ages receive quality treatment that emphasizes both the function and appearance of teeth.
Her Philosophy
“If the foundation of the house is cracking, then who cares about the paint job,” is an apt phrase from our Baton Rouge dentist, who understands that comprehensive oral health is crucial to the smile. She believes that all dental treatments must serve patient’s dental needs first, then their cosmetic goals. Many people do not realize how some cosmetic treatments only serve to hide functional dental issues, which is why our dentist also explains how and why she is doing a treatment.
Her dental philosophy is focused on restoring oral health while also educating patients on the best methods for improving their oral care outside of the dental office. Dr. O’Rourke-Allen wants patients to understand that she can provide the procedures, but it’s up to them to take the reins of their oral health with good hygiene and nutrition.
Educating the Public
As part of her desire to help people understand why oral health is so important, she presents information on oral health to audiences in schools and fairs. Many people, from children to adults, never truly learn how to brush and floss properly, which makes education all the more important. Anyone can improve their hygiene and nutrition, which are the cornerstone of healthy teeth, and Dr. O’Rourke-Allen wishes to empower audiences with knowledge.
Give Kids a Smile®
The Give Kids A Smile organization is a national charity run by the American Dental Association. It accepts donations and holds events where children are given free dental care. Our dentist has contributed to this organization’s efforts, providing dental care to kids who need it. Whether that means a cleaning or removing decay, Dr. O’Rourke-Allen has given time and resources to this worthy cause.
