David Babcock, DMD, is originally from West Jordan, Utah.  He is the fifth child in a family of ten children.  David Graduated from West Jordan High in 1993 and served an LDS mission in Alberta Canada.  David then attended BYU where he graduated with a degree in Zoology with an emphasis in human biology. He also met his wife Sheryl while attending University. They moved to Nevada where David received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine.  Next, life took them to the Islands of Palau, where David worked as senior dentist in the National hospital and in rural clinics.  After a year of diving, kayaking, spear-fishing and traveling to remote tropical islands, the Babcocks returned home to Utah to welcome their first child. The Babcocks now have two children and have been living in and loving Bluffdale for years. David loves Dentistry as a job and a hobby and spends much of his free time in different classes and courses, updating and enhancing his skills and knowledge...

  Valentines Day is just right around the corner, and you're probably thinking about all the sweets you and you're loved ones will be enjoying. But did you know that chocolate is reported to be good for not only your heart, in moderation, but also good for your teeth? Theobromine is a compound in the cocoa bean, which has been shown to actually harden tooth enamel. According to the American Dental Hygienist’s Association (ADA) chocolate can inhibit Streptococcus mutans, the bacteria that cause cavities. Of course, if you want to enjoy chocolate for dental and overall health benefits, the darker, plain forms of chocolate are your best choices. Happy Valentines day, from Dr. David Babcock and your friends at Bluffdale Dental!
