Anne E. Williamson, DDS, MS<\/b><\/p>\n

Professor and Director of Postgraduate EndodonticsDepartment of Surgical Specialties <\/p>\n

Background: <\/b><\/p>\n

I received my DDS in 1988 and completed a general practice residency in 1989, both at the UNMC College of Dentistry. I was in private practice in Lincoln from 1989-2001, then completed an endodontics residency in 2003 and received a master's degree in oral science in 2004, both at the University of Iowa. I was the director of advanced education in endodontics at the University of Iowa from 2003-2021. My previous research revolved around endodontic microbiology, biofilms and an array of other things.<\/p>\n

How I fell in love with dentistry: <\/b><\/p>\n

My pediatric dentist was awesome – Dr. Bill Best right here in Lincoln. I originally wanted to be a physical therapist, but one day my dad asked why I didn’t consider dentistry. I hadn’t because at the time there were very few female dentists. <\/p>\n

Research\/professional interests: <\/b><\/p>\n

My current research revolves around whatever the residents are interested in. Professionally, I am very involved in our specialty at the national level and have been since I became a specialist. Recently, I finished a six-year term as a director of the American Board of Endodontics. Over the years, I have chaired multiple committees and sat on even more committees for the American Association of Endodontists. <\/p>\n
