Background & Education
Dr. Eun Sun Hwang knew from a young age that she wanted to become a dentist. After high school, she attended the University of Maryland College Park where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. She received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. During dental school, she was elected to the Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) national dental honor society. It was a huge honor for Dr. Hwang because the faculty votes only a handful of students who have distinguished themselves by excellence in scholarship while demonstrating exemplary traits of character to join OKU.
Dr. Hwang continued her training in post-graduate residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Maryland, where she received special training in cosmetic dentistry. When she realized her passion for treating children, Dr. Hwang earned her specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of Maryland. Dr. Eun Sun Hwang has been serving children in Southern Maryland since 2012 and she looks forward to serving children in this area for many more years to come.
