Dentistry is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the teeth, gums, mouth and jaw. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They correct bite issues, perform surgeries, address tooth decay, design esthetically beautiful smiles and perform other duties to ensure that the mouth is healthy. 

An avid USTA tennis player, Dr. Pearce was once the #1 doubles team in California attending the National Championship in Arizona. She loves to ski, walk, and of course watch her USC Trojans and Los Angeles Rams win a couple of games.
