EDS Dentists Here to Help

Dr. William Shelton and Dr. Alexis Russell are the owners of Tulane Family Dentistry, an energetic, friendly, welcoming, vibrant dental office that serves to provide the highest quality dental care to our patients young and old, including pediatrics. We are passionate about respecting the individual needs of our patients, which begins with listening to our patients and educating them about their oral and systemic health. Our interest in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is centered on the premise of knowledge and education. As physicians of the head and neck, our role is to identify any underlying conditions and how they present within the mouth. The dental manifestations of EDS are very common, but are important to identify and manage early to prevent negatively affecting the patient’s quality of life. Working with the EDS community, our objective is to establish an individualized comprehensive care plan and work with the EDS patient to achieve those goals. Our commitment is to honor the wants and needs of our EDS population and be a resource to help them navigate and enjoy the beauty of life.
