Helen Mo, DDS

Dr. Helen was born in Alabama and raised in Georgia. She received her bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in both biology and psychology and earned a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Helen has always had a passion for working with children. During college, she worked as a summer schoolteacher and volunteered for multiple dental mission trips to Nicaragua, where she was first exposed to pediatric dentistry. She continued her efforts in dental school by providing dental services to pediatric refugee populations and schoolchildren in underserved areas of Philadelphia. In dental school, Dr. Helen was also student body president. After a big move to the West Coast, Dr. Helen obtained her Certificate of Pediatric Dentistry and Master of Science at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). In residency, she focused her interests on treating children with neurodevelopmental disorders and founded a dental desensitization program for these children. She currently works as a part-time teaching faculty member at UCSF, where she oversees this clinic. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Helen enjoys spending time with her husband (who is also a dentist), her new baby girl, Olivia, and their golden doodle, Kingston. Together, they love exploring the Bay Area. As a new mom, Dr. Helen wants to treat every kid like she would her own child and every family with the utmost empathy. She strives to provide dental care with the highest level of compassion so that she can build a lifelong relationship with your child and your family.
