Dr. Joe T. Nguyen, DDS, PhD

Clinic Director & Founder · The Wobbly Tooth

Dr. Joe earned both his DDS and PhD at the University of Michigan — the top-ranked dental school in the country — completing his training in 2019 with a research focus on cancer metabolism. As founder of The Wobbly Tooth, he pairs that academic rigor with genuinely gentle, patient-first care, and still makes time to mentor students and contribute to head-and-neck cancer research. He built the practice around a simple belief: people in pain shouldn’t have to wait — which is why The Wobbly Tooth keeps its doors open on weekends for Frederick families when they need help most.
