About
Dr. Shawn Jung earned his Master’s degree in Biomedical Science from Midwestern University, where he conducted research on post-operative pain that was published in the European Journal of Pharmacology. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2018.
After graduating from dental school, Dr. Jung completed a General Practice Residency (GPR) at OSF Saint Francis Hospital and then practiced as a general dentist in Seattle for three years. He later returned to UIC to complete his training in Endodontics. He was honored with the Resident Award at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Endodontists for his presentation on laser-activated irrigation.
Passionate about endodontics as both an educator and a lifelong learner, Dr. Jung currently teaches part-time in the Endodontic Department at UIC College of Dentistry. He plans to become a Board-Certified Endodontist while staying updated on the latest advancements in the field.
Outside of work, Dr. Jung enjoys traveling with his wife, exploring new restaurants, and engaging in outdoor activities.
