Meet Dr. Brooke
Dr. Brooke Schrader
Dr. Brooke is so excited to be opening her own pediatric dental practice in Mobile, Alabama! She is a graduate of St. Paul’s Episcopal School and obtained her BA in Biology at the University of Virginia in 2002. Dr. Brooke graduated from UAB’s School of Dentistry and then completed a two year pediatric dental residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. In 2014, Dr. Brooke became a Board Certified Pediatric dentist. Dr. Brooke practiced pediatric dentistry in Raleigh, North Carolina for eight years. In 2018, she and her family moved to Mobile, and Dr. Brooke worked at Mobile Pediatric Dentistry for about two and a half years.
Dr. Brooke’s Family
Dr. Brooke’s husband, Ed, is a general dentist. His office is located next door to Dr. Brooke’s. Their family enjoys cooking, making lots of messes with arts and crafts projects, riding bikes, movie nights at home, and singing loudly.
Dr. Brooke’s Treatment Philosophy
While Dr. Brooke is able to perform traditional dental procedures such as fillings, crowns, and extractions, she takes pride in trying to provide minimally invasive dental care to children. Newer techniques have proven very effective in pediatric dentistry that allow treatment without having to numb and cut on the tooth. These conservative techniques allow for easier, less involved treatment visits and therefore, greater patient and parent satisfaction.
Dr. Brooke loves working with children and can’t imagine working with any other patient population. As a children’s dentist, she is given the unique opportunity to visit with her patients and their families every six months. In hopes to prevent tooth decay, Dr. Brooke spends time talking her with patients and their parents/caregivers about proper dental hygiene and healthy eating habits.
