Ava Chung, DDS - Mini Tooth Denstistry

Born and raised in Taiwan, Dr. Ava Chung moved to California for a better education when she was 16. Her fear of the dentist as a child, and having to be restrained during treatment, are motivating factors for why she wanted to provide a safe and comfortable dental experience for children. Suffering from a dental phobia helps her understand patients anxiety. She seeks to provide positive experience for babies, toddlers, adolescents, teenagers and those with special needs. Since she owns the practice, she can spend as much time as she likes getting to know patients and making them feel comfortable. Education about prevention and the formation of healthy habits that last a lifetime are part of her mission. Outside of her practice, Dr. Ava likes to visit local schools in the community to spread awareness and education about dental health.After receiving bachelors and masters degrees in chemistry from UCLA, where she graduated magna cum laude and won the Ramsey Award for physical chemistry, she went to dental school at the University of California San Francisco. During dental school, Dr. Ava did a lot of volunteer work and took mission trips to Haiti and Mexico to help promote dental health. After four years of dental school, she furthered her education in pediatric dentistry at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. She is a board certified pediatric dentist who has been practicing dentistry more than ten years, providing service in the Inland Empire community since 2015. She is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and English.
