Dr. Kirk Westervelt is actively involved with the young people in the Verde Valley community. Most afternoons during the basketball season, he is found at the Sedona High School where he coaches basketball.


Although he has stepped down as the girls’ coach he is still present on their bench during the practice sessions. Both the boys and girls teams practice at the same time. Dr. Westervelt has recently taken over as head coach of the boys’ team, from Mauro Trahin Jr. who will now coach the junior varsity team.


He says, “I want to be a solution to a problem and not a short-term fix. The kids will have fun, but they will work hard, It’s not like the pros, where it’s a drudgery playing every other night. These kids aren’t going to be walking out at half-time with their heads down. We need to be a highly-disciplined team that strives to be uncommon, not average. We need to play with a sense of urgency.”


Dr. Westervelt is an experienced dentist in the area of general dentistry. It is the most commonly practised form of dental care. General dentistry is also called preventative dentistry because as much of the focus is on the prevention of gum disease, cavities and other conditions, as it is on cures.


Other preventative methods include regular dental examinations and cleaning sessions and education on dental health and related products. Some of the most common forms of treatment includes filling cavities, the application of sealants and diagnostic treatments such as x-rays.
