When I was seven, in a dental exam, it was found that I had two cavities on my adult molars. I remember that my mom was devastated with the news, and I could sense from my mom’s reaction that getting a filling is a horrible and painful thing. The dentist assured my mom and I that I would be just fine. The dentist was really nice and explained everything during the filling procedure and to my surprise, it was a pleasant experience and not painful at all! I still vividly remember that at the end, the dentist and I had a pinky promise that I would brush and floss well every day and these two cavities would be the last cavities I get. And that has been a promise that I have kept till this day. I spent majority of my childhood in Shenzhen, China and moved to the US for high school. I graduated magna cum laude from Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine and am committed to be a lifelong learner. I have taken numerous continuing education courses pursuing an Academy of General Dentistry Fellowship, including at the prestigious Pankey Institute. I am affiliated with numerous professional organizations such as the American Dental Association and the Massachusetts Dental Society. When I am not practicing dentistry, you can find me doing ballet, yoga, or baking. I truly believe that having a well-balanced life allows me to provide whole-person care to my patients, instead of just seeing them as someone with teeth.
