Dr. Aziza Awnallah has dedicated her career to caring for children. Originally from Yemen, she earned her DDS degree from the University of Science and Technology, then completed her DMD degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. She began her career treating adult patients, but within her first year she discovered her true passion in pediatric dentistry — and she has devoted her practice to children ever since, providing comprehensive care from routine checkups and fillings to full treatment under sedation for children who need a gentler approach.

Dr. Awnallah believes every child deserves a positive, comfortable experience at the dentist, and she takes special joy in helping young patients — and their parents — feel at ease in the chair. An artist at heart with a love of detail, she brings a creative touch to her dentistry. She is fluent in both Arabic and English, which allows her to connect with families from many backgrounds.

I chose to work with children because:

I love children — they make every day fun, and helping them build positive feelings about the dentist early on makes a difference that lasts a lifetime.

My hobbies include:

Hiking and exploring new trails, especially green landscapes.

If I weren’t a dentist, I’d probably be:

A medical doctor.
