Dr. Wong
 Dr.
Alicia Wong had a very early introduction to dentistry, as a
patient! When she was an infant, her grandmother cared for her most
of the time and (unknowing of the risk of cavities) gave her a
bottle of milk to sleep with every night. By the age of 4, Dr. Wong
had large cavities in all of her top front teeth. Luckily, Dr.
Wong’s parents were able to find a dentist to fix the front teeth
before it was too late. Since that early experience with cavities,
Dr. Wong has carefully taken care of her teeth and has become a
pediatric dentist to educate and empower children for a lifetime of
healthy smiles.
Dr. Wong grew up outside of Washington, D.C. in both Maryland and
Virginia. She attended the University of Maryland at College Park to
complete her Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Neurobiology.
After college, her strong interest in Public Health and working in
the community brought her to the Medical College of Virginia in
Richmond to complete her Master of Public Health. During her studies
in Richmond, she met the Director of the Dental Health Department
for the State of Virginia, Dr. Karen Day, who inspired her to
continue her education in dental school. After visiting different
dental schools, Dr. Wong decided to attend the University of
Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. During her clinical rotations in the Pediatric
Dentistry Clinic, she found true enjoyment of taking care of
children and educating families to prevent dental disease for a
healthy future. To become a specialist in pediatric dentistry, Dr.
Wong attended the University of Iowa Center for Leadership Training
in Pediatric Dentistry for two additional years after dental school
to work exclusively with children, adolescents and individuals with
special needs.
Dr. Wong decided to settle in the Seattle area after meeting her
husband, Dr. Wallace Wong, at the University of Pennsylvania. After
working in private practice throughout the Seattle/Tacoma area, Dr.
Alicia Wong decided to start her own practice that would bring her
philosophy and beliefs to life.
She emphasizes education and prevention with her patients and their
families and strongly encourages the Age One dental visit to give
her patients a healthy start from the beginning. Bringing in a child
starting at one year of age allows both parent and child to develop
healthy habits early enough to prevent cavities before they start.
Dr. Wong has treated many children at the ages of 2-4 years that
already have cavities on most of their teeth.
