When I opened the doors to my orthodontic practice in 2005, I found in my drawer a little note that my mother had written. And in the note, she quoted a line from her mother’s poem — “A little girl spins dreams while small of what she’ll do and be.” That quote is something that I’ll never forget, and I carry it with me wherever I go. When I was stationed overseas with the Air Force, I was fortunate enough to be working in pediatric dentistry, and I absolutely loved it. So I took that little seed and said to myself: This is it. This is that little dream that I’m going to spin — and spin it big! Today, I’m proud to offer excellent orthodontic care for both children and adults, with locations in Annapolis, Kent Island, and Denton.
At Smiles by the Bay, we put a lot of thought into how we can make orthodontic treatment a special experience for both our patients and their parents. That’s why we always go the extra mile! We are so excited to announce that we’ve officially opened our brand new orthodontic office in Denton, MD. In addition to high-quality orthodontic care, this new location will soon be offering the additional specialty services of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Trahar-Thomas is passionate about community outreach and meeting the comprehensive oral healthcare needs of our youth. Creating such a space that truly meets the needs of our Eastern Shore families has been a life-long dream for Dr. Trahar-Thomas.
About Dr. Trahar-Thomas
Dr. Mary C. Trahar-Thomas grew up in Annapolis. And while she has travelled the world to pursue advanced degrees in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry, Annapolis will always be her home. That’s why, when she was ready to open her first orthodontic practice in 2005, she returned to Annapolis and launched Smiles by the Bay. Dr. Trahar-Thomas has also recently re-married and now lives on the Eastern Shore with her husband and their big, blended family — with 7 beautiful children, 2 cats, 3 dogs, 2 rabbits, and 10 chickens.
