My name is Dr. Kim Trieu, and I teach at the University of Washington School of Dentistry. As an affiliate faculty member, I train new dentists in developing personalize and ethical patient care. You will see my passion for teaching here at North Everett Family Dental, as I take time to educate and empower each patient in their dental health.

My philosophy in dentistry is focused on patients' comfort through gentle, compassionate, and individualized care. This philosophy is coupled with advanced digital technology to help patients achieve their dental goals in a single visit. About 15% of dentists across the country are CEREC dentists, and I am proud to be one of them.

I was raised in Mukilteo and completed my Biology degree at the University of Washington. I then pursued my dental degree at the University of Washington School of Dentistry. After my doctoral studies, I entered in a Residency Program with HealthPoint community health to further my training. After residency, I joined a practice focused on cosmetic dentistry in the Greater Seattle for four years. In 2019, I was invited by Dr. Shen to join her in private practice here at North Everett Family Dental, and I am now leading the office. In addition to practicing, and teaching, I enjoy serving the community through volunteering through mobile vans and the community clinic. As an active member of the American Dental Association, Washington State Dental Association, Snohomish County Dental Society as well as the King County Dental Association, I have a wide network of dentist that I coordinate with to help my patients achieve personalized and effective care.  I am also extremely active in Dental Advocacy, helping organize and advocate for the patients and the profession at both the local and national level. I am is also part of three study clubs and I am an elected delegate for the county society representing the voices of dental professionals.

When I am not practicing or teaching dentistry, I spend time with my husband and five children (Peter, Andrew, Christopher, Faustina, and Clare). My husband grew up on Hoyt Avenue and attended Whittier Elementary.  If you don’t see me at the practice or at the University of Washington, you can find my family and I at the Everett Children's Museum; reading in the local libraries, or playing outdoors at the parks.

Fun Fact:
For the past 60 years that North Everett Family Dental has been at this location, I am honored to be the fifth dentist to practice here!
