Carolyn Coppe, DMD MS
Carolyn Coppe knew she wanted to be a dentist since
she was a small child. “I grew up in this very office,
and was always aware of how happy everyone was that worked
here. It was an easy decision to make”. Carolyn completed
her pediatric dental residency at UCSF in 2008 after graduating
from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
The town of Lexington has been a home to Carolyn since she
was 8 months old, and she attended both Hastings and Bridge
Elementary school before graduating from Lexington High School.
Growing up, Carolyn was a member of the Hayden Precision Teams
and still proudly wears the label of “Haydenette”.
Like her father, Carolyn enjoys sailing and can remember attending
and participating in the reenactments held on Patriot’s
Day.
After graduating from dental school, Carolyn accepted the
opportunity to do research at the National Institute of Dental
and Craniofacial Research in Bethesda, MD. It was there that
she explored a growing interest in work on dental stem cells
from primary (baby) teeth, and she continued this research
during her residency at UCSF. Eventually she completed her
master thesis on this very topic, and was awarded the prestigious
Ralph E McDonald Award at the American Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry Annual Meeting in 2008. This highly coveted award
is given to the resident with the best overall research manuscript
and presentation.
Recently Carolyn married Zach Peacock, who is finishing his
own residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at UCSF.
