One of the most rewarding parts of being a dentist for Yiling is helping patients whose experience of the dentist has been one of fear and transforming it into something they actually enjoy.
Yiling is passionate about changing the way patients feel about visiting the dentist. She takes the time to build trust and create a positive experience, so that even the most nervous patients can feel at ease and look forward to their next appointment.
Yiling’s tip: Brush first thing in the morning before breakfast (most people do it the other way around!) and make it the last thing you do at night. Regular check-ups every six months are also important to keep on top of your dental health.
In 2018 and 2019, Yiling joined medical mission trips with her church to the Philippines, providing dental services to communities in need.
When she’s not caring for patients, Yiling enjoys reading, cooking and spending time with her family.
