Research Interests:
  • Analytical methodologies to accurately determine fluoride presence
  • Role of fluoride in the onset and progression of demineralization and remineralization.
  • Methodologies to diagnose dental fluorosis through clinical, photographic and digital imaging evaluations, including dental fluorosis and incipient caries differential diagnosis.
  • Mechanisms by which fluoride affects the development of dental and skeletal fluorosis, including genetic and environmental factors
  • Patients' concerns that may affect their quality of life regarding the presence of dental fluorosis
  • Community-based research designed to address and identify disparities in dental caries and dental fluorosis in Latino/Hispanic patients
  • Community-based research in the area of migrant/binational health
  • International service-learning
