Dr. Denise French is a Kansas native. Her undergraduate studies were completed at Emporia State University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. She received her dental training at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry. After graduating, she participated in a general practice residency at Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut.

Dr. French has since gained valuable experience in Arizona working with Indian Health Services and in her own private practice in Kansas before relocating to beautiful California.  She has completed extensive continuing education courses focused on restoring beautiful smiles.  She always strives to deliver exceptional dental care in a friendly, family environment and finds the most enjoyment working with children.  Dr. French is also active in the community through several public service organizations.

Fun fact: Dr. French is actually returning to Kids Care Dental! She worked with our team back in 2015 at our Rancho Cordova location before relocating to Redding, and we’re so thrilled to have her back!

I became a dentist because:

I truly wanted to create beautiful smiles.

What I enjoy about working at Kids Care:

The Kids Care Dental team is all about manifesting the very best experience for children and their families.

My hobbies include:

Anything outdoors like hiking, gardening, fishing, and anything that involves a boat.
