About Scott P. Churchill, DMD
Dr. Scott Churchill attended Mira Loma High School in Sacramento, California. He attended Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvalis, Oregon on an academic and athletic scholarship. At OSU, Scott received his Bachelor of Science degree in Premed and was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. Scott attended the University of Oregon Dental School in Portland, Oregon where he received his DMD degree and graduated with high honors. A DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree is the same degree as a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) according to the American Dental Association. The DMD degree is the philosophy that dentistry is more involved with a background in medicine, as a result of people living longer healthier lives. Upon completing the University of Oregon Dental School, Dr. Churchill was accepted into a one year hospital residency where he successfully completed rotations in general anesthesia, general medicine, and prosthetics at the Portland Veterans Administration Hospital. Scott is very skilled with apprehensive patients. Patients often say to me that my injections are amazing. That makes me feel good. I was awarded the ‘Mr. Diagnosis’ award, from the faculty at my dental school, for being able to diagnose a wide variety of items on patients. That skill has resulted in my being able to diagnose many dental and medical health issues, and being able to refer patients to other medical professionals to make a definitive final diagnosis. Some of these undiscovered health issues have been life saving to patients, which is gratifying for me. I love dentistry and believe it is important to have fun with people and to do my best while working with patients. I treat every patient how I would want to be treated. I have to go to the dentist too!
