Your Lexington Pediatric Dentist
Meet Dr. Michael R. Coppe
"When I was in dental school, I did an extensive study in Sweden; I was interested in public health, and I visited clinics all over the country. The kids were great! Even if I didn't know their language, I learned I could communicate with them with no trouble."
Dr. Michael R. Coppe is passionate about pediatric dentistry. Since he was 11 or 12, there was never any question what kind of dentistry Dr. Coppe would practice – pediatrics, because he liked the clientele.
Education & Experience
Dr. Coppe earned his undergraduate degree from Fordham University and his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Harvard University.
In addition to his postgraduate training in Pediatric Dentistry at Children's Hospital in Boston and the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, he earned his Doctor of Medical Science Degree in Oral Biology from Harvard University.
Outside of the Office
Many who know Dr. Coppe, patients and friends alike, know his passion for history, especially 18th-century local history.
He was a Colonial reenactor for many years, and several years ago, he joined the British Tenth Regiment of Foot to reenact the April 19th event on the Lexington Green as a Redcoat. Dr. Coppe has several other hobbies, including sailing and model trains.
If he could offer dental advice to parents or to patients, Dr. Coppe would say, "Take care of your teeth. Remember to floss and brush and visit us twice a year."
