Hey there, parents and kiddos! Today's episode is a golden ticket to the magical world of pediatric dentistry. We’re thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Levi Sorenson, a board-certified pedodontist with a heart of gold and a treasure trove of dental wisdom to share. 

Dr. Levi isn't just your typical dentist; he's a dad, adventurer, Lego enthusiast, and all-around Renaissance man. Raised as the oldest of seven children in the cozy confines of Southeastern Idaho, he embarked on a life-changing mission to Nicaragua that not only taught him Spanish but also ingrained in him a profound love for diverse cultures.

In today's riveting chat, Dr. Levi touches on everything from his upbringing and how it influenced his career to making dentistry fun for his patients. But what truly sets this episode apart is our deep dive into a topic that concerns many parents of infants and toddlers—milk bottle caries.

What exactly is milk bottle caries, and why should you be concerned?

What preventive steps can parents take?

And if the dreaded milk bottle caries do appear, what are your treatment options?

Dr. Levi tackles these questions and busts some common myths. He even gets into the role of fluoride, general anesthesia, and the importance of diet in dental health.

But we don’t just stick to the serious stuff! Prepare to chuckle as Dr. Levi reveals his witty charisma and shares his all-time favorite joke that has his little patients in splits.

So, fluff up your favorite pillow, gather your little adventurers around, and hit play for an episode that's bound to leave you spellbound and smiling from ear to ear!

About the Guest:

Dr. Levi Sorenson grew up in Southeastern Idaho as the oldest of seven children. This gave him many opportunities to learn patience. He later served a religious mission in Nicaragua where he was able to learn Spanish and a love for Central American culture. Dr. Levi’s love of science and working with people motivated him to go into dentistry. He completed dental school and an additional 2-year pediatric dental residency at UNLV.

Dr. Levi is a board-certified pediatric dental specialist and a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. He enjoys making children feel calm when they come for their dental appointments and loves to make a difference in their lives. His goal is to make relationships in the dental office that can last into adulthood. He also enjoys working with special needs children.

Dr. Levi is married with 4 girls. He loves to go on adventures to explore new places with his children. He also enjoys coin collecting, skiing, and playing Lego with them. He created Sorenson Pediatric Dentistry to offer the personalized care that he grew up with in Idaho and Montana.

Starting in 2017, Dr. Levi Sorenson and his wife started planning their future pediatric dental office in Las Vegas. They started off by deciding on the type of atmosphere they wanted the office to portray. Some of the original thoughts on the paper included “calming, open, clean, educational, interactive, and fun for both kids and parents.”

They worked together with an incredible team that included an interior decorator, a museum designer, a carpenter, and an artist. Their goal is to build an office that can create these types of memories. In the end, they received an amazing amount of help from friends and family and were able to open up the office in the spring of 2018.

Their vision remains the same. “To build personal relationships in a fun and caring environment to improve dental health!”
