Dr. Kristen Cummings has dedicated more than two decades of her life to the dental health of children, and her path to pediatric dentistry is as genuine as her love for the families she serves. Inspired at a young age by her orthodontist mentor, she went on to earn her bachelor of science in biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her Doctorate of Dental Medicine cum laude from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. She then completed her specialty certificate in pediatric dentistry at Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado, and became a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. After practicing for over a decade in Missouri, she found her home in Shiloh when the opportunity arose to take over an established pediatric practice in 2015. That chance turned into something she has poured her whole heart into ever since.
