Part-time faculty at Alaska Native Medical Center working with NYU Langone Dental Medicine Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry residents and private practitioner at Just Kids Pediatric Dental Center with NYU Langone Dental Medicine fellow alumna , Dr . Heidi Ostby , ’ 13
“ I enjoy working with my former faculty and look forward to meeting new dentists through the NYU Langone Dental Medicine program . My faculty shared so many pearls of wisdom with me , I feel it ’ s important as some of them retire , that I pass this knowledge on to the new residents . I have worked with the native Alaskan population since 2010 and I understand the intricacies of working with families from remote areas of Alaska . This experience is important to share with those training at the Anchorage site .”
ADVICE : “ Listen well , gain confidence with time and practice , and always smile , even if you can ’ t see it behind a mask , people can tell with your eyes .”

Part-time attending at Children ’ s Dental Health Center working with NYU Langone Dental Medicine Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry residents
“ I am passionate about doing whatever I can to improve our profession and the dental experience for children . I enjoyed working with the first-year class and passing on some of the knowledge I learned . It is rewarding and fulfilling for me to be able to help mold the best pediatric dentists .”
ADVICE : “ You have to love kids and love to work with kids to enjoy being a pediatric dentist . Learn all you can and be open to working hard and getting everything you can out of the residency program you choose . It is a short time to learn a lot , but if you work hard and stay open , you will be ready to go !”
