Dr. Pamela Lu
With over two decades of dedicated service, Dr. Pamela Lu has been a cornerstone in the field of pediatric dentistry. As a married mother of two children, she understands the importance of family and brings that perspective to her practice. Her passion for creating healthier smiles has not only made her a trusted name among parents and children but has also solidified her reputation as a compassionate caregiver and advocate for dental health.
Patient-Centered Approach:
Dr. Lu's approach to patient care is simple yet profound - she believes in working closely with families to nurture good oral health habits from an early age. By creating a positive and nurturing environment, she empowers her young patients to embrace a lifetime of oral health.
Staying on the Cutting Edge:
In a rapidly evolving field like dentistry, staying current with the latest advancements is paramount. Dr. Lu achieves this by actively participating in the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) meetings and attending Continuing Education (CE) programs. Her commitment to incorporating innovations like laser dentistry and advanced local anesthetic delivery systems ensures that every child experiences painless and state-of-the-art dental care.
Meeting Challenges Head-On:
Dr. Lu is not one to shy away from challenges. She recounts the most challenging cases where children arrived with severe dental decay that had gone unchecked for years. In such cases, extensive tooth extractions were necessary, which affected both the child's chewing function and aesthetics. It's moments like these that drive Dr. Lu to advocate for early dental intervention.
Involving Parents for Pediatric Patients:
Given that her patients are minors, Dr. Lu's approach involves a collaborative effort with parents. She engages parents in discussions about the various treatment options available, ensuring that each child receives the best care possible.
As an active supporter of her own children's sports activities and her church youth group, Dr. Lu understands the unique needs and challenges that families face. This personal commitment to family and community well-being permeates her approach to patient care.
Passion for Prevention:
Dr. Lu's heart lies in preventing childhood dental caries, the number one childhood disease. She's on a mission to change this statistic, one smile at a time.
Community Engagement:
Beyond her practice, Dr. Lu has dedicated her time and skills to serve the underserved. Her volunteer work includes dental mission trips to Honduras and Guatemala, providing dental care to Special Olympics athletes in Chicago, and serving on a mobile dental van. These experiences have allowed her to bring smiles to those who need it most, regardless of their circumstances. Additionally, she plays an active role in the food ministry for the youth group at her church, exemplifying her commitment to community well-being.
The Challenge of Access to Care:
Dr. Lu acknowledges that one of the biggest challenges facing dentistry today is the issue of access to care for everyone. She remains committed to breaking down these barriers, ensuring that every child receives the dental attention they deserve.
Setting the Bar High:
What sets Dr. Pamela Lu's practice apart is her state-of-the-art facility, supported by a phenomenal team that caters to both parents and patients. She prides herself on offering excellent guidance for establishing a dental home, ensuring that every child's journey to a lifetime of healthy smiles begins on the right path.
