After attending Howard University as an undergraduate student, Dr. Jennifer Hunter received her DDS degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Following her dental degree, she completed a yearlong general practice residency program with BronxCare Health System in Bronx, NY. With strong ties to Washington, DC, she returned to the nation’s capital initially treating adult patients, but not long after her return, Dr. Hunter discovered her passion for treating children. After working in a pediatric office for three years, Dr. Hunter relocated to Columbus, OH joining The Ohio State University College of Dentistry as a participant in the Service Fellowship in Community-based Dental Care program. During her yearlong fellowship, she had the opportunity to treat children in both urban and rural settings through in-office and mobile dentistry experiences, provide instruction to fourth year predoctoral dental students, and partake in weekly seminars with pediatric dentistry faculty and residents. Dr. Hunter is an affiliate member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry with an unwavering dedication to serving the pediatric population one smile at a time. In her free time, she enjoys baking, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. She is excited about joining the Growing Smiles family!
