When opening her practice, Dr. Gedeon carefully chose the name to reflect not only her commitment to dental excellence but also her Catholic faith. Inspired by her religious beliefs, she found significance in the name “Morning Star,” recognizing it as another title for the Virgin Mary. The term symbolizes purity, guidance and a new dawn, aligning perfectly with her mission to provide compassionate and top-notch dental care to children.
“My team and I want everyone to feel at home each time they come to our office. We are attentive and non-judgmental listeners, accommodating, creative and patient. By taking time to connect with and reassure nervous children, by understanding that an active child may need a little more time to settle into the chair and by always being kind, we earn the children’s and parents’ trust. I love how, after a couple of visits, the children start to see us as friends.”
