At Wonderland Pediatric Dentistry - the Children's Dental Office of Dr. Karina Bogdasarova - we believe that going to the dentist can be a wonder-filled adventure for YOU and YOUR CHILDREN.
During National Children's Dental Health Month, we'd like to introduce you to our practice and hope that you'll give us a call for any of your children's dentistry needs.
About Dr. Karina
Dr. Karina went to the University of Colorado Denver where she received her BS in Biology and graduated with highest honors as summa cum laude.
After graduating from college, she was accepted to the University of Colorado Denver School of Dental Medicine, where she excelled in everything she did and graduated with honors as the valedictorian of her class. While in dental school, Dr. Karina was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) – a national dental honor society, and she also received prestigious “Dr. William S. Kramer Award of Excellence” from the OKU and “Pierre Fauchard Academy Award” from an international honorary dental organization.
Upon graduation from dental school, Dr. Karina was accepted to one of the best pediatric dentistry programs in the country at the Ohio State University/Nationwide Children’s Hospital. During her residency, Dr. Karina worked with and learned from the nationally and internationally recognized experts in the field of Pediatric Dentistry, authors of various textbooks and publications. She received extensive training in the fields of restorative dentistry, dental trauma, hospital dentistry, oral sedation, and dentistry for individuals with special needs. In addition to extensive clinical training obtained through her residency, Dr. Karina performed clinical research on “Oral Microbial Community Composition in Young Children with Cystic Fibrosis” and received her Masters degree upon successful defense of her thesis.
What Sets Wonderland Pediatric Dentistry Apart
While Dr. Karina enjoys working with children from birth to 18, her true calling is special needs patients. Her new practice is equipped with a specially designed “Dark Room” that provides a soothing environment for children with autism spectrum, light triggered seizures and other medical conditions with sensory issues.
When parents look for a pediatric dentist and search local listings, they could easily be overwhelmed with many questions and concerns. Dr. Karina usually says, “How would you want your child to be treated? Probably, the same way I would want my own child to be treated! I hope it says it all! At Wonderland Pediatric Dentistry my staff and I will make sure your child is treated with the utmost professionalism, care and kindness.”
On a personal note, Dr. Karina is a big fan of staying in touch with her community and giving back. One of her biggest aspirations is to organize a trip to either South America or one of the countries in Africa and treat children who have never seen a pediatric dentist before. She plans to do it in a year or two with the help of her friends from dental school and residency. For obvious reasons, such a trip involves a lot of planning and coordination.
Dr. Karina and her husband live in Roswell with their newly born daughter. She likes to spend her free time outdoors with her family and their loyal dog, Gigi. She enjoys hiking, biking and rafting. One of her hobbies is French and she sometimes gets lost in a good French book.
