Dr-Crippen-Pediatric Dentist

Dr. DavID Crippen's dental journey

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Dr. Crippen had a love for biology of not just humans, but animals too! This led him to obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of Washington. Upon completion of his undergraduate education, his passion for dentistry took hold, so he relocated to San Francisco to attend dental school at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry.

Hello Children's Hospital in Wisconsin

After graduating with honors from dental school, Dr. Crippen went on to obtain his certificate of specialty in pediatric dentistry by completing a two year pediatric dental residency at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During his time in Wisconsin, Dr. Crippen served as chief pediatric dental resident for his hospital.

He maintains a dental license and a conscious sedation permit issued by the Dental Board of California, and is certified in Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). Dr. Crippen’s professional areas of interest lie in preventative care and providing safe, high quality, innovative sedation services.
