Vail, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/10/2015 -- With the portion of Vail residents below the age of 17 reaching almost 8 percent, the town faces a growing demand for pediatric dental care. Professionals in this field must complete training beyond the requirements for general dentistry in order properly address the needs of children, including two years of specialized training as well as courses in child development and psychology. In an effort to better cater to the community, Paul Corcoran, DDS has announced a new addition to his practice.

Dr. Corcoran elaborated, "We are proud to spread the word about Dr. Megan Danforth joining our team. Dr Megan Danforth DDS is a great children's dentist in Avon CO. Her high level of skill and caring attitude blend perfectly with our emphasis on personal, comfortable and health-centered dentistry focusing on the distinct needs of our pediatric patients. Due to her extensive experience in working with young people, she is able to relate to them and truly put them at ease when they come to us for care."

Paul Corcoran DDS provides invisalign clear braces in Avon and Edwards CO. In addition, his practice offers preventive, general, cosmetic and emergency services to patients in Vail and the surrounding areas. Dr. Corcoran's inclusion as part of the Vail Valley Medical Center staff spans more than three decades; furthermore, he is the center's only recipient of a distinguishing honor recognizing community leadership and patient commitment.

Dr. Danforth attained her Doctorate in Dental Science with Honors from The University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 2012 where she was elected into the prestigious National Dental Honors Society of Omicron Kappa Epsilon.

"It is a great pleasure to join Dr. Paul Corcoran Family Dentistry," asserted Dr. Danforth, "and I look forward to working with the children of our community. I share in Dr. Corcoran's sentiment of oral health being a top priority and his goal of alleviating the common fears of visiting the dentist children tend to have."

She works well with the children, and I feel she's going to be a wonderful addition to our team as well as our community.
