14th February 2016,
Dubai, UAE: Dr. Michael’s Dental Clinic, the leading and most advanced dental
health care provider in the region, welcomes American Board Certified
Specialist Pediatric Dentist Dr. Carol
Onyango DMD, MPH to its team of Specialist Pedodontists.
Dr. Carol completed her B.S. degree
in Biochemistry and graduated Summa cum Laude from Ramapo College of New Jersey
in 2003. Four years later, she received her DMD from the University of
Connecticut - School of Medicine and Dental Medicine. She earned her
Specialization in Pediatric Dentistry from Columbia University, New York in
2009 and successfully completed her Postdoctoral Clinical Fellowship in
Pediatric Dental Leadership from the same institution in 2010. Pursuing further
studies, Dr. Carol received her Masters of Public Health degree from King’s
College London in 2011.
“I needed a specialty that was
challenging, exciting and varied on a day to day basis,” said Dr.
Carol. “Pediatric dentistry fit me like a glove. There is never a dull
moment working with children; they keep me on my toes and make me smile very
often.”
Before joining Dr. Michael’s Dental
Clinic, Dr. Carol teamed up with other physicians and dentists and served as
the sole Pediatric Dentist for one of the U.S. Government Health Centres in
Germany serving a community of over a thousand children.
She also worked as a Pediatric
Dental Resident in New York where she treated patients under conscious sedation
and general anesthesia, collaborated with various specialists in the management
of patients with complicated craniofacial disorders and treated patients in
both the Adult and Pediatric Emergency Department. She offers full-scale dental
health services, oral health literacy, early detection of oral diseases and
risk intervention.
She is a strong advocate of
preventive oral health care for underserved communities and has been a dental
volunteer in several countries since 2004.
“Child oral health tends to lack
priority on the health agenda of many countries, yet oral health diseases in
children are on the rise globally. This needs to change and I hope to be a part
of it through child oral health philanthropy projects which I am passionate
about.”
“Over the years, I have volunteered
in Kenya, Belize, Dominican Republic and several states in America. I
also serve as the African Region consultant for the Global Child Dental Fund
and served as an oral health working group executive for the World Federation
of Public Health Associations.“
Dr. Carol is a Diplomate of the
American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and a Fellow of the Royal Society for
Public Health. She is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists,
American Dental Association and the New York State Dental Association.
