Dr. Elizabeth Shin, DDS, was recently recognized by Continental Who’s Who as a Distinguished Pediatric Dentist for her achievements in the dental field and as the owner and founder of Bethesda Chevy Chase Pediatric Dentistry.
Shin was born in Busan, Korea and moved to Brazil when she was two years old where she completed a bachelor’s degree in dental surgery at OSEC University, faculty of dentistry. She earned her doctor of dental surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Southern California Dental School after she relocated to the U.S. Shin graduated as the class salutatorian, then attended the USC Advanced Pediatric Dental Program. She completed her residency at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, receiving the best academic and clinical pediatric dental student award at the completion of her program.
Shin was also chosen as the chief pediatric dental resident throughout her residency. She later became an associate professor of pediatric dentistry at this facility.
She is a board-certified pediatric dentist with more than 20 years of experience and the founder and president of Bethesda Chevy Chase Pediatric Dentistry, serving patients throughout Maryland and Washington, D.C. Shin is always researching the newest technologies in the field and strives to make her patients and their parents comfortable.
In a news release, she said that helping children brings her tremendous satisfaction and happiness.
“Every child is special,” she said. “Their personalities, genetics, environment, nutrition, oral habits and overall health profile make them unique. My individualized approach considers all their wonderful attributes holistically as I help them achieve healthy teeth and lifelong oral health.”
Shin has been the recipient of top pediatric dentist awards from the Washingtonian and Bethesda Magazine.
