The latest episode of "The UMB Pulse Podcast" will be released Friday, Jan. 6.
Each summer, University of Maryland School of Dentistry alumna Kathryn Pawlak, DDS ’19, returns to the University of Maryland, Baltimore to inspire teenagers to become dentists through her Discovering Dentistry Camp she created through her nonprofit Planet Smilez. Pawlak created Planet Smilez as an undergraduate at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in New York, and in this episode she tells us why pediatric dentistry is near and dear to her heart and shares how two close family members inspired her to become a dentist.
Today, Pawlak is an attending pediatric dentist at University Pediatric Dentistry, which is the faculty practice for the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine’s Pediatric and Community Dentistry department. She also has privileges to treat patients at John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital, where she works closely with the Hematology and Oncology Department.
