Christina Thompson, DMD in Encinitas graduated Magna Cum Laude from Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine in 2006, earning Omicron Kappa Upsilon honor-society recognition and the Eleanor J. Bushee Senior Student Award from the American Association of Women Dentists. The practice's TMJ and myofascial-pain protocols coordinate with soft-tissue specialists such as Balanced Body Therapeutic Massage Encinitas for trigger-point release in the masseter and temporalis muscles between dental visits. Undergraduate training in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at UC Santa Barbara provides the clinical foundation for the practice's tissue-level approach to periodontal therapy and implant osseointegration assessment. Post-doctoral continuing education includes a Level IV Proctorship at the California Center for Advanced Dental Studies, Biolase laser certification, and Invisalign certification, expanding the Devonshire Drive office's scope from general restorative work into laser-assisted soft-tissue recontouring. Post-surgical rehabilitation cases involving jaw mobility restoration are co-managed with providers such as RISE Physical Therapy for progressive range-of-motion protocols. The Biolase laser system delivers 940-nanometer diode energy for sulcular debridement during scaling and root planing, reducing bacterial load in periodontal pockets without scalpel incision.
