Dr. Flavia Tingling
Dr. Tingling is a pediatric dentist coming to join our practice early this spring.  She would like to share some information about herself so that patients and parents alike will be greeted by her smile already knowing a little bit about her.  

Dr Tingling was born on a beautiful sunny island of Jamaica, but shortly thereafter relocated to the cold winters in Michigan!  The move was prompted by her father's educational pursuit to become an Orthodontist at The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.  Her mother became a dental hygienist when Dr. Tingling was in high school.  After her completion of an undergraduate degree from the "Big house", Dr. Tingling surprised everyone and followed the path of her DNA, by becoming a dentist!       

She then traded the cold winters of Ann Arbor for the bright lights of New York City!  She was a fellow of General Dentistry at the Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery, for 2 years.  It was her exposure there that led her to pursue a specialty degree in Pediatrics.  She was prompted by the children's ability to be honest and keen sense of integrity.  She completed her Pediatric Dentistry Residency at Saint Barnabas Hospital-New York Presbyterian Weil Cornell, Bronx, New York.  Her genuine love of children is evidenced by the arduous tasks she completed, to enable her to treat them exclusively.    

Dr. Tingling came to Maryland to be closer to her family and friends in the Mid-Atlantic region. She enjoys spending time with her 2 Godchildren and best friend, here in Columbia.  She looks forward to exploring the Atlantic coast, the Washington DC sites and nearby mountains all the best that that DMV has to offer.  She enjoys traveling, reading, tea parties and most importantly-making the dental experience for children AWESOME! 

So please say Hello to the new face and let's start a new relationship
