M.S.

After graduating from Howard
University with a B.A. in Zoology, Dr. Yetta
G. McCullom earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery
degree from the Howard University College of
Dentistry in 1985, then served as a general
practice resident at the VA hospital in Washington
D.C. for one year. She worked in private practice
and as a clinical instructor in the Department
of Periodontics at the Howard University for
two years, then entered Northwestern University
Dental School in Chicago. She received a Master
of Science with a Certificate in Periodontics
from that institution in 1990. She practiced
with her father Dr. Flavius Galiber for three
years while doing general practice residency
and teaching. |
Dr. Yetta McCulloms' first 10 years of private practice
limited to periodontics was spent alongside Dr. Stephen
B. Towns. She learned a great deal under his superior
guidance.
Dr. McCullom has taken many hours of continuing education
credits at the prestigious Misch Implant Institute
and the Dawson Center for Dental Education. She has
focused on the medical and surgical management of
periodontal disease.
She is a member of the American Academy of Periodontology,
the American Dental Association, Omicron Kappa Upsilon
(Dental Honor Society), the Chicago Dental Society
and the Midwest Society of Periodontics.
Working with her husband blends her family and business
together nicely. The three McCullom children are all
school age now and not seen as frequently around the
office as in the earlier years. Dr. Yetta enjoys the
comfort of her pet dog Sunshine. At the end of the
day coming home to "doggie love" is a wonderful
thing. Her most recent hobby is her coral reef aquarium.
It has captured the attention of staff and patients.
It's mesmerizing.
Dr. Yetta is motivated by the healthy changes she
sees in her patients. Observing the response to periodontal
care is observing the miracle of healing. Periodontal
therapy is simply helping the bodies own mechanism
of healing become successful.
