Now a board certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Katheria settled back into sunny San Diego and lives in Carlsbad with her husband and two boys. Well-versed in children’s cartoons, Dr. Katheria enjoys hiking, yoga, and traveling in the few spare moments she has between being an amazing pediatric dentist and a full-time mother.
Dr. Binita Katheria grew up in Southern California and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Physiology and Neuroscience from our very own University of California, San Diego. Dr. Katheria completed her dental degree (DDS) at the University of California at Los Angeles School of Dentistry, where she took opportunities to travel abroad on dental mission trips, helping underserved communities. During these trips, her passion for pediatric dentistry grew. While completing her specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, she also conducted original research to earn a Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD). Dr. Katheria’s research, published in the prestigious Journal of Pediatric Dentistry, focused on the effectiveness of cone beam computed tomography when assessing pathology in children.
