Dr. Gentry Byrd grew up in eastern North Carolina and received her undergraduate degree with highest honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She completed her Doctorate of Dental Surgery with distinction at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry, and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honors Society. During dental school, her first publication in the Pediatric Dentistry journal was co-authored with Dr. Keels. She stayed on at UNC to complete her specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry, and obtain her MPH at the Gillings School of Global Public Health.

 

Dr. Byrd cherishes her childhood memories of going to the dentist- her Aunt was her Pediatric Dentist! Volunteering in public health dentistry furthered her inspiration to serve the upcoming generation, and promote preventive dentistry for a lifetime of oral health. Dr. Byrd is most passionate about infant oral health and seizing the earliest opportunities to prevent future oral health problems. She is a contributor to the Baby Oral Health Program (bOHP ©) and Prenatal Oral Health Program (pOHP ©), and has several publications in these areas.

 

Dr. Byrd is married to Dr. Warren Byrd, who is a general dentist practicing in Wake County, and they love their little dog, Bosco. She enjoys playing tennis, being outdoors, and spending time with friends and family. Dr. Byrd is also an accomplished violinist. In addition to teaching, she has performed across the state, including as a guest soloist with the North Carolina Symphony. The triangle has been home to her for the last decade, and she is ecstatic to be a part of the Durham community.
