A board-certified paediatric dentist for two decades, she is an authority and advocate for children’s oral health. She is the author of the Amazon Bestseller, CAVITY FREE KIDS.

Dr. Hishaw holds Fellowships in the American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, International College of Dentists, and will be inducted into the American College of Dentists this Fall.
