Dr. Adrienne Nguyen was born and raised in the Bay Area. She spent many of her childhood weekends at her grandfather’s dental practice in the East Bay. She received her undergraduate degree in biological sciences from the University of the Pacific. 

 

Dr. Adrienne continued her education in San Francisco at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry where she completed her doctorate of dental surgery. While in dental school, she volunteered in many community outreach projects such as Project Homeless Connect and CDA cares, providing much needed dental care to patients in need. Dr. Adrienne was fortunate to attend a dental mission trip to Fiji, where access to dental care was incredibly limited. 

 

Dr. Adrienne later moved to Boston, Massachusetts to complete her residency in pediatric dentistry. She received extensive training on providing comprehensive care for special needs patients, medically complex patients, and provided extensive treatment to pediatric patients under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. She graduated from Tufts University with her Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry, where she served as her program’s chief resident. 

 

While in residency, Dr. Adrienne received Dr. Waldemar Brehm Scholarship Award. She was also awarded first place at the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine Post-Graduate interdepartmental Research Symposium, where she presented her research on new dental treatment needs in pediatric patients following full mouth dental rehabilitation. 

 

Outside of the office, Dr. Adrienne spends her free time with her husband, family,  and toddler. She loves going to the farmers’ market on the weekends, trying new recipes, traveling, and tending to her collection of indoor plants. 

 

Dr. Adrienne is a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, and California Society of Pediatric Dentistry. She is fluent in Vietnamese.
