Outside the office, Dr. Small cherishes time with her husband David (who is also a dentist), her young son Liam, and her baby daughter Lily. She enjoys crafting, watching TV series, and has some fascinating life experiences, including meeting the Prince of Wales as a child and hosting a kids’ TV show during her youth.
