Dr. Gep received her dental degree at The University of Minnesota in 1996. Prior to her specialty training, she completed an internship year in Special Care Dentistry that included rotations through The Hospital for Sick Children, Princess Margaret Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospitals, Weenebayko Hospital in Moose Factory (and native coastal communities), and the Pediatric Dental Clinic at The University of Toronto.

She completed her pediatric dental specialty Masters degree at The University of Toronto in 2000. This additional education focuses on child psychology, child growth and development, pediatric health, anesthesia, hospital-based dentistry, interceptive and minor orthodontics, and care for the special needs patient. Her specialty training included particular interest in dental traumatology.

There are many areas of prevention and care that are unique to children and adolescents that Dr. Gep is trained to identify, treat and prevent. That is why many parents wisely choose a pediatric dentist for their child's dental health just as they choose a pediatrician for their child's medical health.
