Dr. Jacqueline Galvez, DDS
Dr. Galvez began her studies in Bogota, Colombia, where she earned
her dental degree from the Colegio Odontologico Colombiano. In
1986 she went to Boston to study Pediatric Dentistry at Tufts University,
graduating in 1988. She is a Board Diplomate from the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She continued her studies with continuing education
classes in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. She taught and
lectured at Nova Southeasten University, at the Department of Pediatric
Dentistry (Post-graduate and Pre-graduate). Her residents honored
her with the "Faculty Member Award of Excellence Postgraduate".
At Nova she coordinated the Post-graduate clinic and was in charge
of the Operating Room where she taught her residents in different
hospitals how to perform dental treatment in children under general
anesthesia.
Dr. Galvez enjoys teaching parents and children
the importance of taking care of their teeth since
this is an important part of their personal appearance.
As well, this gives the child and the parent a basic
lesson about visiting the dentist twice a
year for checkups, and that a visit to the dentist
should always be a fun activity.
In her free time, Dr. Galvez enjoys reading, cross-stitching
and spending time with her husband and their two
children.
