She’s also trained and certified in nitrous oxide and has experience in general dentistry and oral surgery.
Away from the office, Eunice enjoys much of her free time with her husband and their two dogs. Other than treating and improving smiles, she enjoys dog sitting, kayaking, and making clay miniatures. In addition to being the queen of do-it-yourself projects, she’s also a native Spanish speaker!
