Dr. Jennifer Ryan

Folsom

Dr. Jennifer Ryan grew up in the Bay Area, where she graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in psychology. She received her DDS degree with highest honors from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 1997, where she was awarded the Charles Sweet Award for clinical excellence in the treatment of children. Dr. Ryan completed a three-year residency in pediatric dentistry at the University of California, San Francisco and received both her pediatric dentistry specialty certificate and a master's degree in Oral Biology in 2000.

Dr. Ryan believes that all cavities are preventable, and strives to provide parents with the knowledge to prevent cavities in their own children. Her philosophy of care is to treat every child the way she would want her own children treated. Dr. Ryan was in private practice in pediatric dentistry in Roseville for eight years, and is excited about working with the Folsom team.

She is a member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the California Society of Pediatric Dentists, and the Sacramento District Dental Society. Dr. Ryan and her husband, Donal, an anesthesiologist with C.A.S.E. Medical Group, both enjoy staying home part-time to care for their 3 young children, Connor, Taryn, and Lachlan. She enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, reading, running with her yellow lab Finn, and photography. She volunteers at her children's school and helps lead her daughter's Girl Scout troop.
