Experienced Dentist Hanover
Get to Know Agnes Roman, DDS, MPH
A lifelong resident of the state, Dr. Agnes Roman attended the University of Maryland to earn her undergraduate degrees in biology and community health while working as an orthodontic assistant part-time. She then pursued a master’s degree in public health with a concentration in epidemiology, to be able to better understand the distribution and determinants of disease, where she focused her master’s thesis research on dental sealants. After working for a few years as an epidemiologist for the NIH’s Office of Disease Prevention, her passion for dentistry led her to earn her DDS degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, graduating in the top 5% of her class.
While in dental school, she participated in a selective clinical program to gain additional training, focusing on treatment planning and restoration of difficult prosthodontic cases. Following dental school, she completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center, where she expanded upon her clinical skills including digital dentistry, dental implant placement, and management of medically complex patients. Dr. Roman remains committed to lifelong continuing education and strongly believes that staying up to date on advances in the dental field is a necessity for delivering top-notch care as a Hanover dentist. Her patients appreciate her calm demeanor and gentle touch.
Growing up, Dr. Roman always wanted to be an artist and was drawn to how the natural world works. Dentistry proved to be a wonderful career choice, as it pairs art with science, and incorporates a third passion she has for serving others, allowing her to improve the lives of her patients while doing what she loves. In her spare time, Dr. Roman enjoys volunteering at Mission of Mercy dental clinics across the state and participating in dental health advocacy.
Outside of the dental office, Dr. Roman enjoys spending time with her family and friends, trying new foods, and traveling. She grew up hiking, exploring, and camping in parks across the nation and loves to spend time outdoors when the weather is nice. On cold and rainy days, she enjoys trying out new recipes or curling up with a good book.
