About me
30 weeks pregnant
Welcome
My name is Ivy Fua and I am a Pediatric Dentist based out of Los Angeles, California. I am a mother of four. I have been married to the love of my life, Sione, since July 2012.
I started this page to spread reliable information about pediatric dentistry and health from a pediatric dentist and mother’s perspective. I have many interests that I plan on sharing including motherhood, travel, event planning, education and married life. Let me know if you would like to talk about anything specific here.
I grew up in Los Angeles, CA and received my bachelors of science from UC Santa Cruz. I completed a post-baccalaureate program from UCSF and UC Berkeley followed by dental school at UC San Francisco. I completed my training in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of Southern California in addition to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). I completed a fellowship in leadership training in neurodevelopmental disorders in children (CA-LEND through CHLA). I practice in Burbank, CA at my practice, Grin Garden
