OS-02 Managing Complexities in Pediatric Endodontic Care: A Comprehensive Review of Common Comorbidities

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Being in the field of dentistry, it's not often that you get to quote American poets, like Robert Frost. In reflecting on Dr. Darya Dabiri's educational and professional journey, she sets an example of an individual who takes paths that were "less traveled by," which has made her unique path to where she is today all the more enriching and rewarding. Dr. Dabiri is a Canadian dentist, she obtained her dental degree from the University of British Columbia in 2008. She moved to Ann Arbor after graduation to complete a General Practice Residency at the University of Michigan Health System (2009). Michigan has become her new home as she started her own family in Ann Arbor. While raising her two young children, she then pursued dual training in pediatric dentistry (2012) and endodontics (2017) at the University of Toledo Medical Center and University of Michigan respectively. Dr. Dabiri is a true patient advocate. As a dual trained pediatric endodontist, she has a magical way of using her excellent behavior management skills not only to children but also to anxious adults who all needed extra support and care to be able to tolerate their endodontic treatment. When she is not working, she enjoys every second of being with her family. She loves to dance and loves to travel.
