Our teeth play a significant role in both our health and appearance. However, we’re all a little guilty of taking them for granted and maybe even neglecting them.
This is especially true of children. As a young boy, Dr. Tyler Brady had a profound interest in and natural appreciation for teeth. It may sound like a bizarre interest for a child to develop, but for the founder of Haven Dental, it came as natural as smiling.
“Teeth have always been a source of fascination for me and it was always on the cards that I was going to work in the field of dentistry,” says Dr. Tyler Brady. He adds, “Fortunately for me, my uncle was a dentist and so I had a handy go-to for all teeth-related information. I was always, pardon the pun, drilling him about what the role of the dentist entailed, what qualifications I needed, and how to give patient’s teeth the best care possible.”
On finishing high school, Dr. Brady decided to learn on the job. After moving in with his uncle, he worked in his dental office to get some much-needed hands-on experience. He says, “Working in the office made me more determined to become a dentist. It gave me a newfound appreciation of the vital role dentists play in society. When our teeth give us problems, it causes us much pain. Additionally, when our teeth are not as straight or white as we’d like, it can play havoc with our self-esteem and mental health. Having the ability to remedy this using my specific skill-set and knowledge gives me a great amount of satisfaction.”
After graduating from college and attending Boston’s highly-regarded Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Brady became an active member of the Bates-Andrews Research Group. He immersed himself in dental research involving implants, filling materials, silk proteins, antibiotics, and electric toothbrushes. After moving to Texas with his wife to start a family, Dr. Brady eventually opened his first private practice, Haven Dental.
“The ethos behind Haven Dental is to provide first-class and affordable dental treatment for everyone. We also run a non-profit scheme tailored to help those less fortunate with the dental care they deserve. My aim has always been to make a trip to the dentist a pleasurable experience and something to look forward to. Our job is to put a smile on your face and give you the sort of teeth to smile about,” states Dr. Tyler Brady.
