Professional History

Dr. Harper received his dental degree from the Schulich School of Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada where he was awarded the Senior Student Award in Pediatric Dentistry in his graduating year. Dr. Harper then completed a residency in pediatric dentistry at the IWK Hospital through Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Finally, he completed an additional residency in pediatric dentistry at Boston Children’s Hospital in association with Harvard School of Dental Medicine. During Dr. Harper's final year of this residency he held the role of Chief Resident. Dr. Harper has since been working as an associate in the department of dentistry at Boston Children’s Hospital in addition to acting as an instructor of developmental biology at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. In addition to his teaching roles, he currently provides care for patients in multiple settings in addition to the outpatient setting, including urgent care in the emergency room for acute dental needs, as well as providing care for patients in the operating room.

Approach to Care
I am a dental surgeon with a strong interest in providing dental care to the pediatric population in a hospital based setting. My area of excellence is providing care for patients that have additional needs to those of a typically developing child with dental decay. By working closely with other dental specialists and medical providers, I take great pride in being able to provide comprehensive care.
