The Future is Now! - What’s new in pediatric dentistry

My Three Daughters Could Not Be More Different
When Ransom was born at 5:55 a.m. on May 8, 2007, she came into this world screaming. Stubborn almost to the point of being inconsolable, she only ceased fussing when she was swaddled so tight she looked more like a burrito than a baby or…
