Barbara Young, DDS, San Diego Dentist

Meet the Doctor - San Diego Dentist Cosmetic and Family Dentistry

Background and Credentials

One of my greatest joys is the expression of my professional life. I have chosen dentistry as a career and find that it is a good fit. It has given me the opportunity to share my talents on a one to one basis each day.

Whether I am in the office, or teaching, I am proud to offer the best the field of dentistry has to offer to those around me.

Before I go on, I would like to thank my staff for their talents and contributions to our patients. Without them, my accomplishments would not be possible.

My educational background runs from high school, in a small town, to doctorial training in the city. I have attended University of the Pacific, in Stockton CA, and completed my degree in Chemistry. I continued on to earn my degree of Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) at the University of the Pacific, San Francisco, CA in 1986.

My professional development has included the following:

  • Fellowship Grant at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland
  • Board member of the National Association of Women Business Owners
  • San Diego County Dental Society Peer Review Committee - 10 years of service
  • California Dental Association | American Dental Association
  • Academy of Operative Dentistry | American Academy of Gold Foil Operators
  • Fellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy | Academy of RV Tucker Study Clubs
  • Editor of the Lineangle Newsletter for the Academy of RV Tucker Study Clubs
  • Lecturer and Clinical Instructor - UCLA School of Dentistry

Presidential Award - The Academy of Richard V. Tucker Study Club

Each year the Academy of Richard V. Tucker Study Clubs, presents the Presidential Award to an individual whose contribution to the Academy and to dentistry as a whole, goes above and beyond our expectations. It is with honor to announce this year’s 2016 recipient, Dr. Barbara Young. She has dedicated her professional life, worked hard in her daily life, and has found time to create the Academy’s newsletter, The Line Angle. Given her talents and skills, Barbara has become our “Editor Extraordinaire” for the past seven years. We owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. Well Done.

My life is giving back to my family and community. Come and visit our office; we will take special care of you and your family!
