Whether you need dental implants or porcelain veneers, Strom & Klein Dental Associates is a family dentistry practice that's here to help you. After completing his undergraduate degree in psychology at USC, Dr. Strom considered attending their dental school, only to decide to leave the comfy confines of his soon-to-be Alma Mater and study at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco. He thoroughly enjoyed his experience there, met countless forward-thinking leaders, and served as the editor of the American Student Dental Association Journal. He also conducted research in dental fear and anxiety. Today, he still recruits new students for the school, as it remains a beacon of outstanding dental education. Following graduation, Dr. Strom spent two years building his clinical skills in a large group practice. He then accepted a NIH Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Columbia University, where he earned his Master’s in Human Nutrition and Preventive Health Policy. Dr. Strom has had a great deal of involvement in volunteer professional dental leadership. Most notably, he was appointed by Governor Pete Wilson to the California State Dental Board, which is the body that oversees licensing, enforcement, and consumer safety. During those years, he and his colleagues were responsible for writing regulations and rewriting guidelines for infection control. At the conclusion of his terms on the Dental Board, he was asked to become the Director of Ethics at the USC School of Dentistry. More recently, Dr. Strom has completed a 12-year stint as a member of the California Science Center and the EXPO Park Board of Directors. He was first appointed by Governor Schwarzenegger and re-appointed by Governor Brown. Today, he serves on the Advisory Panel and oversees NIH funding for dental fellowships, research, and policy objectives. He is the only full-time practicing dentist, which is required of the commission.
