Publications
I have published multiple articles in top dental journals (Pediatric Dentistry, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, and the International Journal of Dental Hygiene) on multiple topics as well as several chapters in the leading oral medicine textbook, Dental Clinical Advisor.
