Daniel Ninan, DDS.

A few years ago, one of my best friends from childhood was pregnant, she had a severe toothache, and she could not find a dentist who would treat her. At the same time, the place where I was practicing dentistry started receiving additional funding to provide dental care to pregnant women who otherwise had no access to care. Because of this, I began seeing more pregnant patients. It quickly became apparent to me that the plight of my friend extended to other pregnant women who also were experiencing pain and suffering. As my friend discovered, these pregnant women also had difficulty finding dentists to help them. As a dentist, I quickly became aware of the lack of easily accessible knowledge of how to provide dental care to pregnant women safely. Because I could not find very much information on this topic, I began reading everything I could find on the subject. After first doing my homework on the topic, I began collaborating with physicians, nurses, pharmacists, general dentists, periodontists, other authors, independent editors, and others. I have worked very hard to make this book a quality resource for dental professionals.

Currently, Dr. Ninan practices general dentistry with The Smiles Movement in Arizona. 

Prior to that, Dr. Ninan practiced general dentistry at SAC Health System in San Bernardino, California where he received SAC Health System’s Provider of the Quarter Award.  He was awarded his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2009. He has also coauthored a study in the Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Neonatal Nursing based on neonatal research he helped conduct at Loma Linda University Medical Center.

Dr Ninan is active in organized dentistry. He is currently serving the Academy of Dentistry International as the Regent for the USA South East  Regency. 

Before earning his doctoral degree, Dr Ninan completed a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science in 1999 and a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology with honors in 2004, both from California State University, San Bernardino, California.
