Wiley M. Elick BA, DDS
Dr. Elick is widely known in California’s Central Valley as “The Kids Dentist.” He has spent over 30 years giving care to children of all ages, whether it be restorative work, treatment in a hospital setting, or those with special needs. Dr. Elick earned his DDS degree at Loma Linda University and is a member of the California Dental Association, Tulare-Kings Dental Society, and the American Dental Association.
Kyim Mung, MA, BS, DDS
Ever since a teenager, Dr. Mung wanted to change people’s lives through smiles. She pursued her bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene and then continued in her dental education by going through dental school at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Dr. Mung graduated from the program in 2017 with a dual degree–her Doctorate in Dentistry and her Masters in Bioethics. She was initiated into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society for being top 10 in her graduating class. After dental school, Dr Mung worked abroad on a tiny remote island called Saipan for 2 years, where she served as a missionary dentist. It was on this little island that her love for pediatric dentistry grew. After two years of mission work, Dr. Mung returned to San Diego to pursue her passion for pediatric dentistry by going through a rigorous pediatric dental program associated with Rady Children’s Hospital.
In her spare time, Dr. Mung enjoys the outdoors. Her hobbies include hiking, playing tennis, reading self-development books, and of course, eating. She is a major foodie and is so excited to try all the different restaurants that the Central Valley has to offer!
Dr. Mung says, “Thank you for entrusting me with your most precious treasure, your child! I can’t wait to work together with you so that we can collaborate on how to improve your child’s quality of life.”
