Dr. Jessica Ho was born and raised in the South Bay and earned her undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Irvine. She went on to complete her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of California, San Francisco, followed by an Advanced Education in General Dentistry program through NYU Langone in San Francisco and Oakland. After practicing as a general dentist in Orange County, Dr. Jessica discovered her passion for caring for children and pursued specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Southern California and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Dr. Jessica chose pediatric dentistry because she loves working with children and helping create positive dental experiences from an early age. She feels privileged to help children feel safe, confident, and comfortable in the dental chair while partnering with families to build a strong foundation for lifelong oral health.
Her approach is gentle, patient, and individualized. Her goal is for every child to leave feeling proud of themselves and excited for their next visit.
Dr. Jessica’s clinical interests include preventive dentistry, infant oral health, behavior guidance, and caring for children with special health care needs. During residency, she gained extensive experience caring for children with complex medical, developmental, and behavioral needs. This training helped shape her thoughtful approach to tailoring behavior guidance and treatment to each child’s unique needs. She deeply values preventive care, especially infant oral health, because it creates an opportunity for early education, anticipatory guidance, and timely intervention.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Jessica enjoys attempting DIY art and craft projects, especially sewing. She also loves going to Disneyland, exploring new restaurants, and finding new matcha and coffee shops. She is always on the lookout for a great recommendation.
