At Children’s Dentistry of Abilene, Dr. Poorman leads a specialized team capable of evaluating, diagnosing, and treating injuries to teeth, the jaw, and surrounding tissues.

For children and adolescents, a good professional can make the difference between an effective intervention, a prompt recovery, or a lifelong mark. Injuries to baby teeth have serious consequences. They can hinder the development and health of permanent teeth.
