Opening a dental office in Las Vegas marked a significant milestone in Dr. Lim's career. Through his practice, he not only helped children maintain healthy smiles but also fostered a sense of community in a new city.

About the Guest:
Dr. Lim's story begins in 1984 when, at the tender age of 8, he left Cambodia, finding refuge from a troubled homeland. His journey of resilience and hope took him to a refugee camp in Thailand, where he stayed until 1989 before making his way to the United States, a move that would set the stage for a bright future he could have only imagined.
Settling in California, Dr. Lim's academic journey was marked by dedication and hard work, culminating in his graduation from high school in 1994. His thirst for knowledge and passion for science led him to the University of California, Irvine, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in 1999, laying the groundwork for his career in dentistry.
The pursuit of his dream took him across the country to Philadelphia, where he attended Temple Dental, earning his degree in 2003. With his expertise in hand, Dr. Lim moved to Las Vegas, where he spent two years honing his skills as an associate before taking the leap to start his own practice, Hillside Dental, in 2005. His dedication to his practice and his patients was evident in the quality care and community trust he built over the years until he sold the practice in 2022.
Today, Dr. Lim enjoys a semi-retired life, yet his passion for dentistry continues. He dedicates every Wednesday morning to working at a practice in Henderson, focusing on what he loves most—extractions, bone grafts, root canals, and implants. His journey from a young refugee to a successful dentist is a testament to the power of resilience, hard work, and the pursuit of passion.

Hey there, parents and kiddos! Today's episode is a golden ticket to the magical world of pediatric dentistry. We’re thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Levi Sorenson, a board-certified pedodontist with a heart of gold and a treasure trove of dental wisdom to share.
Dr. Levi isn't just your typical dentist; he's a dad, adventurer, Lego enthusiast, and all-around Renaissance man. Raised as the oldest of seven children in the cozy confines of Southeastern Idaho, he embarked on a life-changing mission to Nicaragua that not only taught him Spanish but also ingrained in him a profound love for diverse cultures.
In today's riveting chat, Dr. Levi touches on everything from his upbringing and how it influenced his career to making dentistry fun for his patients. But what truly sets this episode apart is our deep dive into a topic that concerns many parents of infants and toddlers—milk bottle caries.
What exactly is milk bottle caries, and why should you be concerned?
What preventive steps can parents take?
And if the dreaded milk bottle caries do appear, what are your treatment options?
Dr. Levi tackles these questions and busts some common myths. He even gets into the role of fluoride, general anesthesia, and the importance of diet in dental health.
But we don’t just stick to the serious stuff! Prepare to chuckle as Dr. Levi reveals his witty charisma and shares his all-time favorite joke that has his little patients in splits.
So, fluff up your favorite pillow, gather your little adventurers around, and hit play for an episode that's bound to leave you spellbound and smiling from ear to ear!
About the Guest:
Dr. Levi Sorenson grew up in Southeastern Idaho as the oldest of seven children. This gave him many opportunities to learn patience. He later served a religious mission in Nicaragua where he was able to learn Spanish and a love for Central American culture. Dr. Levi’s love of science and working with people motivated him to go into dentistry. He completed dental school and an additional 2-year pediatric dental residency at UNLV.
Dr. Levi is a board-certified pediatric dental specialist and a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. He enjoys making children feel calm when they come for their dental appointments and loves to make a difference in their lives. His goal is to make relationships in the dental office that can last into adulthood. He also enjoys working with special needs children.
Dr. Levi is married with 4 girls. He loves to go on adventures to explore new places with his children. He also enjoys coin collecting, skiing, and playing Lego with them. He created Sorenson Pediatric Dentistry to offer the personalized care that he grew up with in Idaho and Montana.
Starting in 2017, Dr. Levi Sorenson and his wife started planning their future pediatric dental office in Las Vegas. They started off by deciding on the type of atmosphere they wanted the office to portray. Some of the original thoughts on the paper included “calming, open, clean, educational, interactive, and fun for both kids and parents.”
They worked together with an incredible team that included an interior decorator, a museum designer, a carpenter, and an artist. Their goal is to build an office that can create these types of memories. In the end, they received an amazing amount of help from friends and family and were able to open up the office in the spring of 2018.
Their vision remains the same. “To build personal relationships in a fun and caring environment to improve dental health!”
