Vanessa Pardi, DDS, MS, PhD

My research interest is on oral health promotion and diseases prevention. The goal of my research is to provide evidence-based data that supports the creation of health promotion programs to reduce the burdens of oral disease (dental caries in children and periodontal disease in adults) on underserved and underrepresented population.
