Why Did You Decide to Become a Pediatric Dentist?
Unlike many dentists, Dr. Cory never really dreamed of becoming a dentist while he was growing up, which is unlike most dentists! Instead, he told his parents he wanted to be a vet, and he ultimately went to school for pharmacy. However, he eventually decided that he wanted to have more face-to-face time with patients, and there’s nothing better than helping people smile and calming scared children, and walking them through care. During dental school, Dr. Cory found himself spending most of his free time in the pediatric dental clinic. He decided pediatric dentistry was his passion, and the rest is history!
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Cory attended The Ohio State University before moving to Illinois, where he obtained his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Midwestern University. From there, he went on to obtain his specialty certificate in pediatric dentistry from Case Western Reserve University and the Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. To keep his knowledge and skills up to date, Dr. Cory is an active member of the following renowned organizations:
- American Dental Association
- Illinois State Dental Society
- American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
