Dental Health Guides
Dr. Jennifer Young
I graduated from University of California, San Francisco, in 1986 and have been practicing in the San Jose/Campbell area since 1987. I have vast training and experience in many areas of dentistry and am dedicated to keeping up with the continuous advances in dentistry by attending seminars and study clubs to update my skills. I have extensive advanced training in orthodontics even though I am not board certified in orthodontics. I am member of the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association, California Dental Association, and Santa Clara County Dental Society since 1987.
I believe that, with advances in dental techniques, there is no reason why most people should not be able to keep their natural teeth for a lifetime. My goal is to work with you to attain lifetime of beautiful smile. I look forward to talking with you about how we can work together to enhance your oral health and your smile! Dental treatments are individualized for each patient. So, please tell me what you want, and I can treatment plan to meet your wishes.
I live in Saratoga, CA with my husband, Joseph, and my two sons, Jason and Jeffrey. Jeffrey, my youngest, is in high school. He's my janitor and goes to office with me on Saturdays. I have two college-bound sons: Stephen, who's my dental assistant on Saturdays, in UC Davis, and Michael, in San Jose State. Right now, my life is centered around my work and my children. I also have a pharmacy degree (Pharm D) from University of the Pacific prior to acquiring my dentist degree. I work at El Camino Hospital pharmacy on my day off to keep up with my pharmacy knowledge. My hobbies are computers (or anything related to computers), photography, camping (& outdoors), sewing, needlepoint, and crafting.

Nina (Receptionist & Assistant)
I am the newest addition to Dr. Young's staff. I entered the dental administration field in 19__. After the birth of my third child in 2003, I decided to stay home and devote all of my time to my family. I began working for Dr. Young in August 2007. Dr. Young and Jeanne have made me feel very welcome and confident my choice to return to work. I have been throughly impressed with their high standarda and attention to detail. Dr. Young's knowledge is remarkable. I feel truly honored to be working with such an incredible team. The patients here are wonderful; most of them reside righ here in Campbell. It has been a pleasure meeting them and helping them obtain the most out of therir dental insurance. I have started working as a chairside assistant as well after Jeanne retired in September 2008. I am happy to learn the front office and back office tasks.
I was born in the Philipines. I moved to the bay area when I was three months old and have been here ever since. I am one of the lucky few who have been able to marry their high school sweetheart. We live in this terrific Campbell community, and I have three beautiful children: two daughters and a son. When I am not at the office, I am busy managing their hectic schedule. My interests are in the visual arts, and I have adegree in fashion design. If I had spare time, I would like to lear how to cook and take up hula dancing once again.

Jeanne (past staff)
Jeanne had worked for me for over ten years. Her interests include going on cruises (or any type of vacation), going to the gym, running, shopping, and going out for lunch. She has 3 children and 9 grandchildren and totally enjoy being with her grandchildren. She is retired now so she can spend more time helping with her daughter's new baby. She is in Davis Tues-Thurs and comes back to San Jose on weekends. What a great Mom.
I totally enjoyed working with Jeanne. She can always read my lips and my mind. She's very much missed. ----J. Young
