Alison K. Jackson, DDS - Children's Dentistry

About our office:

Children's Dentistry in Aptos was founded by Dr. Stephen Fehrman over 20 years ago. Dr. Fehrman developed his practice based on fundamental dentistry and outstanding patient care. In October of 2004, Dr. Alison Jackson purchased the practice upon Dr. Fehrman's retirement. She has continued in Dr. Fehrman's footsteps and looks forward to a new generation of healthy children and bright smiles in Santa Cruz County.

About Dr. Alison Jackson:

Dr. Alison K. Jackson joined the practice in August, 2003 after relocating to this area with her husband and their daughter Linnea. Dr. Jackson emphasizes preventive dentistry and patient education as the most important methods for preventing dental disease. She has found a perfect fit for this philosophy here in Aptos.

Dr. Jackson grew up in the Central Valley near Fresno, California. She headed south to earn her B.S. Degree in animal physiology and neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego. In 1995, she moved north to San Francisco where she received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. She graduated with honors as a member of the National Dental Honor Society. She moved south again to UCLA where she completed her specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry and was hospital chief resident. For the next three years, Dr. Jackson continued to gain experience as an associate in a busy practice near down town Los Angeles before she made her final (and permanent) trip north to Aptos.

Dr. Jackson has extensive experience in all phases of Pediatric Dentistry and has been a guest speaker at UCLA discussing women in dentistry. She is actively involved in the California Society of Pediatric Dentistry and is currently on the board of directors for the Monterey Bay Dental Society. Dr. Jackson brings both professional experience and compassion to her practice.

Outside the office, she is busy being a mom. She also enjoys pedaling her bike around the Santa Cruz trails and backroads when ever possible and, when the wind is fair, you'll find her sailing on Monterey Bay or Huntington Lake.
