Dr. Jeanne Anne Krizman DMD

From a young age, I knew I wanted a career in health care. I chose dentistry, because it’s one of the few fields in health care where the doctor can spend more than 5 minutes with his or her patients. I want my patients to feel that I care, and that they are not just a number in the health care system.”

It was at The Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health where Dr. Krizman earned her DMD. She also performed a residency in Advanced General Dentistry. In dental school, she was honored to receive the “Excellence in Implant Dentistry” award. She also has a Master’s degree in Public Health with a concentration in Environmental and Occupational Health from The University of Arizona College of Public Health. Dr. Krizman believes that both her public health master’s degree and her education at a dental school that stresses whole-person health care, gives her a unique perspective in dental care.

“I care about my patient’s overall health, and believe that preventative medicine begins in the mouth. Patients need to be aware of the correlation between poor oral hygiene and some diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. I tell my patients, ‘your mouth is the window to your overall health’.”

Providing the best, most informative care to patients, is of critical importance. Therefore, Dr. Krizman completes over 100 hours of continuing education every year. Last, year, she completed her Master Certification in implant placement and advanced surgical procedures through Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, and she completed advanced training in ozone treatment. This year, she has been traveling to New Jersey to acquire her Integrative Biological Dental Medicine degree through the American College of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry. In February, she received her Naturopathic Medical Doctor license (NMD).
