Dr. Tornabene loves being a pediatric dentist! While teaching high school for four years prior to dental school, she realized that she wanted a career with children. In dental school, she discovered pediatric dentistry and it is a perfect combination for her. Her goal is to provide a warm, fun and effective dental home for local families. Dr. Tornabene is well trained to treat infants and children as well as patients with growth and developmental problems, trauma and minor orthodontic interventions. Her goal is for children to enjoy going to the dentist!

Dr. Tornabene is happily married to her husband Eric Barnes, a local oral surgeon. They have resided in Chico since 2007. They have three children: Elia, Joshua and Weston. As a family, they enjoy the outdoors through white water rafting, camping, hiking, biking, swimming and cooking as a family.
