Dr. Sheila E. Tucker began her career in the dental field as a dental hygienist having graduated from the Forsyth School for Dental Hygienists in 1975. At Forsyth, she worked as a research assistant, which led her to pursue a degree in Biology at Boston University.

She received her dental degree from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine where she was awarded the Dental Student Research Society Award. She completed a combined program with postdoctoral training in Periodontology and a Master in Medical Science Degree in Oral Biology at Harvard University, where she was also awarded a National Institutes of Health Research Service Award.
