Dr. Tina Nguyen prides herself on being a good listener and working on healthy eating and hygiene habits with her young patients. “I realize I have an incredible opportunity to influence patients’ dental health in a way that will affect them for the rest of their lives,” Dr. Nguyen says. “Education and prevention are the keys to prevent decay.”

She works with many special needs patients and enjoys seeing improvements in their behavior while in the dental chair.

Dr. Nguyen received her degree from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in NYC. She continued her training with a fellowship in Special Care Dentistry at the Rose F. Kennedy Center at Jacobi Hospital.

During the one year fellowship, she gained extensive experience with autistic and special-needs patients. She then completed her Pediatric Residency at the Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center. Dr. Nguyen has hospital privileges at Morristown Memorial Hospital where she teaches the residents.
