Dr Kadriye Özdayı graduated from Ege University in 2008. After completing her studies, she opened her own dental clinic, where she practiced for six years, gaining extensive experience across all branches of dentistry. After her years in private practice, she pursued a residency program specializing in root canal treatment at Çukurova University. During this time, she had the unique opportunity to observe dental practices in the U.S. at renowned institutions such as New York University (NYU) and Nova Southeastern University (NSU). She also completed observational visits in prestigious private clinics in New York City. Her exposure to these advanced clinical models, particularly in root canal treatments, allowed her to apply innovative techniques and practices to her own clinical workflows in Turkey, significantly improving both the efficiency and quality of care in her clinic. In Turkey, she had the opportunity to work with a talented team of specialists, with her practice focused primarily on endodontics (root canal treatments). Together with her colleagues, they consistently delivered quality care and fostered a collaborative environment that contributed to successful patient outcomes. Throughout her career, she combined her clinical work with giving lectures and representing dental brands as an academic opinion leader in Turkey. This dual role allowed her to contribute to both patient care and professional education, enhancing her practice and supporting the broader dental community. As a hobby, she is passionate about being a dental influencer in Turkey. She runs a YouTube channel where she creates content specifically for dentists. This role involves significant collaboration and interaction with the dental community, enhancing her professional network and supporting colleagues in their development. On social media, she is known by the nickname Miss Endo, which has become well-recognized among dentists in Turkey. In 2024, she embarked on an exciting project aimed at bridging health tourism between California and Turkey. This opportunity inspired her to move to Los Angeles, where she now enjoys exploring new experiences with her beloved furry friend, Betty. Together, they have taken up a new hobby of watching sunsets in Santa Monica, embracing the vibrant Californian lifestyle.
