Susan R. Cushing

Dr. Susan R. Cushing graduated Cum Laude from Boston College and went on to earn her DMD degree from Tufts University Dental School in Boston, Massachusetts.

She established her first dental practice in Boise, Idaho where she met and ultimately married her husband, Curt. After fourteen years in Boise, she moved back to Massachusetts to be closer to her parents and opened her second dental practice in Pocasset, Massachusetts.

Dr. Cushing published her first book, Fat No More! The Book of Hope for Losing Weight, to share her lifelong struggle with obesity and dieting, including all her trials and tribulations and eventual success of losing over 85 pounds and keeping it off for many years. It is a very honest and inspiring message for those fighting the diet/weight battle.

In Have No Fear of the Dental Chair!, Dr. Cushing tells the story of her childhood fear of dentists and finding a compassionate dentist who understood her terror and helped turn it around allowing her to find her personal mission of helping patients like herself and becoming an anti-anxiety advocate.

Dr. Cushing has been practicing for thirty-four years, using her training and skill helping patients be comfortable while they get their dental care needs accomplished.

In her new book, she offers compassion and understanding for the multitudes of people struggling with dental anxiety and provides a guide to how you can change it.
