Dr. Judy McIntyre experienced dental trauma as a young child and, during her many repairs for this, had positive experiences at the dentist. This led her to pursue dentistry, starting her journey as an orthodontic assistant during college.  At the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, she performed research on dental unit waterline biofilms.  After graduation, Dr. McIntyre attended the Adams School of Dentistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for her endodontics residency.  Alongside renowned researchers in the field of endodontics, traumatology, and pediatric dentistry, her thesis and research regarding traumatic dental injuries have been published in numerous professional journals; her avulsion flowchart publication is a well-renowned and highly cited publication.  Dr. McIntyre has served on the MA Dental Society (MDS) as a Guest Board Member, and participated in the Leadership Institutes at the MDS as well as the ADA.  She has also served on the AAE Board of Directors and various AAE Committees, including serving as a Chair.  Judy continues to share her passion for saving teeth with endodontics through educational speaking engagements and social media on dental trauma, pediatric endodontics, cracked teeth, resorption, radiology and 3D-imaging and endodontics.  She currently is Clinical Associate Professor in Endodontics at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry at Chapel Hill.
