Dr. Grace Hannawi-Tadros completed her undergraduate studies at Boston University Sargent College of Health Sciences with a degree in human physiology. She graduated Cum Laude from the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Growing up around dentistry piqued Dr. Graces interest in the field, but she did not discover her true passion until she began dental school; she loved working with pediatric patients. She went on to pursue specialty training at Boston University, making her a triple Terrier student. During her residency, Dr. Grace was actively involved in community outreach, mission trips, and research. Her research involved developing methods of teaching dental students about culture, language barriers, and oral health literacy. Dr. Grace is the proud recipient of the American Association of Women Dentists Women in Dentistry Award. She is also a vocal advocate for patients rights, collaborating with lawmakers for improved patient rights and experiences in the dental clinic. She is a member of the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the Massachusetts Dental Society, and American Association of Women Dentists.
The best part of her job is seeing patients on a regular basis and witnessing their improved oral health from dental cleaning to dental cleaning. When Dr. Grace has free time, she loves hiking (when the weather cooperates), kickboxing, and attempting DIY crafts.

I enjoy my visits to Sugarbug. Though my kids have a distaste for some of the oral procedures, they are not afraid to go. My daughter had even had an extraction and my son has had multiple fillings. The staff is always friendly and quick to answer questions.

Sugarbug dental is a wonderful dental office with exceptional services. They are thorough and super friendly. Every time we make an appointment we make sure to book it with Jackie the dental hygienist. She is amazing!! So professional and is great with the kids. Can't say enough about her. I highly recommend this dental practice to everyone!

I highly recommend this office. I have two kids, one of which is a real "tough cookie" and they are so great with her, every appointment is a breeze. I am so glad to have a place that I trust - I often joke that I wish adults could go to their practice.

Sugarbug Dental is an excellent, professional, and friendly office. The receptionists, the doctors and the dental hygienists are all amazing, friendly and phenomenal! Neda is amazing, friendly, and kind. My son was nervous to get his braces on, Neda explained every step to him, made him feel comfortable and made his appointment easy going and fun for him. I can't thank her enough for making him calm and explaining everything to us and what to expect with the braces, Neda is great! After getting his braces he was happy and now looks forward to seeing Neda, and also Dr. Curran for his future dentist appointments. Thank You Sugarbug dental staff for being an amazing office and making dentist appointments for kids welcoming, friendly and most of all fun.

I am really impressed with this practice! From the front desk staff to the hygienist to the dentist, they are all equally warm, welcoming, and professional. For any child with anxiety about the dentist or for new parents with little ones for whom the dentist is a new experience, I'd highly recommend Sugarbug Dental!

This place went above and beyond to make my 6yo daughter feel comfortable. From the beginning airing room and watching her fav show to laying in the dentist chair and talking like their equipment was from the frozen movie! My daughter hates the dentist and they definitely made her think again! She walked out and said it didn't even hurt mom! Amazing staff all around!

We have been coming here since my sons first dentist appointment and we honestly have never had a bad visit. They listen to the kids and respond to them like they are people which I appreciate. My son is a nervous kid and they always have patience with him and validate him, it's to the point he walks in there confidently without hesitation.

With a very timid child, the staff was very patient and well versed with helping the kids feel comfortable and informed. We've struggled finding the right orthodontist, but Sugarbug will definitely be our permanent choice. If your child is timid or nervous, and you want to make your kids feel at ease, choose Sugarbug!

I've been coming to Sugarbug Dental for years, with both my two children and have nothing but good things to say! We now have relocated and are not right down the street from SugarBug Dental, but the kindness we always receive is worth the travel!

Extremely clean office and very nice and helpful staff!! I got lost and ended up late and instead of making me reschedule or being rude they assisted me over the phone to help me find their office, they greeted us at the door with a smile, and even took time to play with my daughter while we went over her future appointments and needs. I've never been more happy with a dentists office! 10/10 I very highly recommend this office for any and all children!

Anytime I take my kids to an appointment I have knot in stomach because of how my kids normally react. Sugarbug is the first place to get rid of that knot! Jackie Thomas, Dr. Gigi and the rest of the staff are so kind and patient. They make my kids feel like superstars and I can relax knowing my kids are in excellent hands.
