Getting To Know Karen Chu Phoenix Kids Dentist

The Early Years - Sandcastles and Dreams of Beautiful Smiles

Some children dream of living in a castle as a Prince or Princess, some want to be firemen or tv stars when they grow up. I was just Karen Chu back then...the dentist Dr Karen Chu was just a glimmer of a far off dream. But even then I knew that smiles were something magical and special. As far back as I can remember I wanted to help people.And, I wanted to help them smile.

That was considered a little strange back then. Dental techniques were not nearly as advanced as today. I am thrilled that now we are seeing more and more technology and research eliminating the need for pain or trauma in maintaining beautiful and healthy teeth. (The only thing better than my being able to make my life's work providing beautiful smiles -- would be something that guarantees great smiles without the need for any care).

But, even then I saw the difference that feeling free to smile made for my family and friends. I recognized it as a treasure-- AND a key that could unlock doors for some.... or shut out all kind of good things and opportunities for the others. Those kids who were too embarrassed by their teeth to open their mouths seemed to lose on almost every great part of childhood.

So my sandcastles were dentists offices that became palaces of smiles. And today. I practice my dream in real dentist offices here in Phoenix.

What were your childhood dreams? How do they connect in some small way to what you do now as adults?
