We would like to introduce you to Dr. Selena Chow. Dr. Chow will be joining our dental team starting October 1st, 2015.
Dr. Selena Chow grew up in Vancouver and graduated from UBC Dentistry in 2004. She has worked as a general dentist in several different dental clinics in the Lower Mainland and has gained valuable experience by being in different environments and providing treatment to a range of patients.
Selena feels it is important to further her dental education and keep on top of new materials and techniques. She is currently a member of the Everyday Dentistry Study Club where the the discussions are led by a variety of dental specialists. The goal of the study club is to enable general practitioners to be comfortable treatment planning multidisplinary cases. As well, Selena is trained in nitrous oxide sedation and can provide oral sedation for patients that are anxious about dental treatment.
After having some great instructors in dental school, Selena felt she wanted to contribute to her alma mater by volunteering as an instructor. She has taught in the third year “dental bootcamp” module where dental students pick up instruments for the first time and practice their skills on mannequins and plastic teeth. As well, she has taught in the Vancouver Dental Hygiene College, instructing hygiene students at all levels on extraoral exams, intraoral exams, taking xrays and evaluating xrays. Selena also led the local anaesthetic module and carried out demonstrations.
Selena has previously volunteered her as the team dentist of Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, attending games and providing emergency treatment to players at all levels. She also provided regular preventative care for the players and has made many sportsguards.
When not working, Selena enjoys spending time with her husband and 2 young daughters. They spend many weekends camping and enjoying the BC wilderness. Additionally, she enjoys knitting, sewing, making jewelry and cooking for her family.
We are excited to welcome Selena to our team, she is the perfect fit for our dental family. We know she will provide the same high quality dental care that you are accustomed to receiving in our office.
