Dr. Krisha Saxena

Dr. Krisha, Pediatric Dentist, was raised in Central Jersey. She traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she attended Marquette University and majored in Biomedical Sciences before returning to New Jersey. She graduated from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine—finishing in the top 5% of her class. She then decided to further her education with a general practice residency at Monmouth Medical Center where she focused on the treatment of medically complex patients as well as pediatrics.

After several years in general dentistry, Dr. Krisha realized that she had a passion for caring for children. Her favorite days in the office were when families with young children came in, and she loved helping them realize that coming to the dentist can be a positive experience. She decided to pursue additional training to specialize in pediatrics.

She completed her pediatric residency at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, where she served as Co-Chief Resident and was awarded the New Jersey Academy of Pediatric Dentistry “Resident of the Year” scholarship. She is a member of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, New Jersey Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and New Jersey Dental Association.

When not in the office, Dr. Krisha can usually be found spending time with her family. She also enjoys dancing, Disney, crafts, and organizing! She resides locally with her amazing husband and their two wonderful daughters.
