 Biography
"I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and have continued researching, lecturing and writing publications on oral biology and removing bacteria from gums through ultrasonic instrumentation techniques. My entire doctorate thesis was on micro bacteria infection and root planning and it is considered a premier research article in the United States for dental students studying disease and is widely used in many dental schools."
My Commitment
"While attending dental school, I was clinical director of several research projects for the Chairman of the Periodontal Department at University of Michigan. I was so fascinated by this area of dentistry that he encouraged me to specialize in the area of the prevention of gum disease."
