Dr. Valeria was born in California & raised in Chihuahua, Mexico. At age 16, she moved to Storm Lake, Iowa. She obtained her undergraduate degree in Genetics from Iowa State. Following her undergraduate studies she moved to Fort Sill, Oklahoma where she completed
her basic training for the United States National Guard. She then moved to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas to become a combat medic.
Upon completion of her training, she returned to Storm Lake where she began working as a dental assistant. During this time her love and passion for dentistry was formed. Dr. Valeria graduated from The University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 2023.
“The reward of helping patients achieve relief and providing them with a healthy smile is what I love most about dentistry”

Dentist “How did you break your tooth?”
Patient “I was eating popcorn”
We hear this all the time in the office!
🍿 A Damaged Restoration: The kernels of popcorn are hard enough to damage a dental crown or filling when you bite down on them hard enough.
🍿 A Kernel Stuck Between the Teeth: If you've eaten popcorn before, you likely know just how irritating a kernel stuck between your teeth can be.
In some cases, simply flossing your teeth can be the answer. However, if the kernel is severely lodged, you may need to seek professional help to remove it.
🍿 A Cracked Tooth: Popcorn kernels are hard enough to also crack a tooth!
So the lesson here is: you don’t have to give up popcorn – but take your time while eating it; and we are always here for you for any popcorn dental emergencies. 😊
