Dr. Chung is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the UCLA School of Dentistry. She is Lecturer and Co-Chair in Hospital Dentistry, as well as the Co-Chair for the General Practice Residency/Hospital Dentistry Program; and specializes in treatment of special needs, immunocompromised, dental phobic and geriatric patients. She was recently involved in a UCLA study that aimed to determine if dental disease depicted on a panoramic radiograph is more prevalent among people with atheromas seen on their dental radiograph than among people without atheromas but matched for stroke risk factors (body mass, smoking history, need for medications to control hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes). The results of this study indicate that dental disease may play a role in the formation of carotid atheromas in patients already at risk for stroke.
Areas of Research:
