  • S7:E67 - Dr. Julia Sadove-Lopez: Helping Parents Find Support
    Apr 25 2024

    My guest today is Dr. Julia Sadove-Lopez. She is a biological dentist, accredited by the IAOMT. She attended dental school in Indiana and went on to practice dentistry at a holistic dental practice in Chicago. She was able to work closely in collaboration with Dr. Kevin Boyd, even serving as a research assistant for his anthropology research with the Penn Museum.

    She was practicing general dentistry, but her passion for identifying and referring young patients to seek early interceptive solutions became one of her favorite parts of her profession. She created her own consulting business to offer customized support for parents surrounding airway dentistry.

    She relocated with her family to Portugal where she enjoys learning about how the perspectives and services that are offered in Europe vary from the training she received in the US.
