Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Lynna received specialized training in pediatric dentistry at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. She understands the value of a team approach in dentistry. During her two year hospital based residency, she provided dental treatment for physically, mentally, and medically complex patients. She worked with other dental specialists as part of the craniofacial team to provide guidance for patients and their families, and she worked closely with an orthodontist to provide Phase I orthodontic treatment. Additionally, she has ample experience in children’s emergency dentistry.

Her goal is to make each child’s experience at the dental office a positive one. She firmly believes every child is unique and approaches each dental visit to meet their respective needs. For her, the most rewarding part of pediatric dentistry is watching kids grow and develop positive habits that have lifelong impacts.

In her spare time, she enjoys trying new recipes, staying active, and spending time with loved ones, especially her husband and three adorable daughters.
Dr. Lynna is grateful for the opportunity to meet your little ones and watch them grow into confident patients and young adults.
