Our Dentists
Michael
Coppe, DMD
is passionate about pediatrics. "When I
was in dental school, I did an extensive study in Sweden;
I was interested in public health and I visited clinics
all over the country. The kids were great! Even if I didn’t
know their language I learned I could communicate with them
with no trouble.”
Since he was 11 or 12, there was never any question what
kind of dentistry Dr. Coppe would practice—pediatrics
because he liked the clientele.
Dr. Coppe received his undergraduate degree from Fordham
University and was awarded his Doctor of Dental Medicine
from Harvard University. Along with his post graduate training
in Pediatric Dentistry from Children's Hospital in Boston
and Harvard School of Dental Medicine, he also earned his
Doctor of Medical Science Degree in Oral Biology from Harvard
University.
Many who know Dr. Coppe —patients and friends alike—know
his passion for history, especially eighteenth century,
local history. He was a Colonial reenactor for a long time
and several years ago joined the British Tenth Regiment
of Foot, to reenact the April 19th event on the Lexington
Green as a Redcoat. Dr. Coppe has a number of other hobbies
including sailing and golf.
If he could offer dental advice to parents or to patients,
Dr. Coppe would say, "Take care of your teeth –
remember to floss and brush and visit us twice a year.”

Carolyn Coppe, DMD MS
Carolyn Coppe Peacock completed her pediatric dental
residency at UCSF in 2008, after graduating from Harvard School
of Dental Medicine. "Since I was very young I always
knew I wanted to be a pediatric dentist. 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."
Lexington has been a home to Carolyn since she was 8 months
old. She attending both Hastings and Bridge Elementary Schools
and Clarke Middle School and graduated from Lexington High
School. While growing up here, Carolyn was a member of the
Hayden Precision Teams and is still proud to call herself
a Haydenette. She still enjoys going to the shows at Hayden
and being able to cheer for all the patients that are ice
skaters.
After graduating from dental school, Carolyn had the opportunity
to do research at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial
Research in Bethesda, MD. During the year there she spent
her time working on multiple projects, but found the work
on dental stem cells from primary (baby) teeth to be of the
most interest. She continued this research during her residency
at UCSF and completed a master thesis in it. She was also
awarded the prestigious Ralph E McDonald Award at the American
Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Annual Meeting in 2008 for
her research. This is an award given to the resident with
the best overall research manuscript and presentation.
Like her father, Carolyn enjoys sailing and also as a little
girl woke up early on Patriot's Day and participated in the
reaanctement.
She recently married Zach Peacock, who is finishing up his
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at UCSF.
