The Team Behind the Research
At Dental Health Time, scientific accuracy is never the work of one voice. Our advisory content is strengthened by a collaborative team of board-certified dental specialists — Dr. Emily Carter (Orthodontist), Dr. Jason Miller (Periodontist), Dr. Sarah Thompson (Endodontist), and Dr. Maria Hernandez (Pediatric Dentist). Together, they bring a unified approach to reviewing clinical literature, analyzing new studies, and confirming that each topic reflects the gold standard of modern dentistry.
Each specialist contributes a unique lens:
Orthodontic biomechanics, periodontal biology, endodontic microsurgery, and pediatric oral development. Their combined expertise ensures that every recommendation is supported by verified scientific evidence rather than opinion or outdated practice.
Before any article is published, they evaluate diagnostic accuracy, treatment relevance, long-term patient outcomes, and ADA-aligned clinical protocols. This multi-perspective review process results in content that is not only medically correct, but genuinely useful to patients, families, and dental professionals seeking clarity.
Together, these four experts uphold our mission:
To make complex dental science understandable, reliable, and rooted in real research.
