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.
