Dr. Sarah Chang grew up in California but fulfilled her love for dentistry on the East Coast. She first earned her B.A from New York University before attending NYUs College of Dentistry, which is ranked the #6 dental school in the nation. Dr. Chang then completed her general pediatric residency at Queens Hospital Center and her pediatric residency at St Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, where she served as the Chief Resident. Currently, Dr. Chang owns and acts as the lead doctor of Post Oak Pediatric Dentistry. You can always find her in the office smiling and enthusiastically treating patients.
Although Dr. Chang has completed her formal dental education, she remains committed to lifelong learning and acquiring new skills to better the health of her patients. Since 2020, she has been researching and practicing interventions to treat frenectomies, enact myofunctional therapy, and subside sleep disordered breathing.
Outside of the practice, Dr. Chang is the proud mother of Ian (9), Joy (8), and Tim (7). While they keep her hands happily full, she also enjoys tennis, yoga, golf, and travelling in her free time. In fact, she has completed 3 mission trips to Russia, China, and Kenya.
At Post Oak Pediatric Dentistry, we believe every child is precious - therefore we treat every child in our office as if they were our own. Like our patients, Joy, Ian, and Tim are all preparing for their next steps. In July 2021, Dr. Chang performed frenectomies on her children as a preventative measure for potential issues associated with mouth-breathing and speech impediments. Joy, Ian, and Tim can also be seen in the office receiving regular cleanings, learning new hygiene habits, and testing out the newest waiting room toys.
