Credentials and Professional Memberships
DDS — Doctor of Dental Surgery
Doctoral degree in dentistry from the USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry. USC Dental is consistently ranked among the top dental schools in California and the western U.S., with a curriculum emphasizing both clinical excellence and research-informed care.
FICD — Fellow, International College of Dentistry
Fellowship in the International College of Dentistry is one of the most prestigious honors in the dental profession. Founded in 1920, the ICD is the world’s oldest and largest international dental honor society, with more than 12,000 fellows in over 140 countries. Fellowship is by invitation only, awarded to dentists who demonstrate outstanding professional achievement, meritorious service to dentistry, and dedication to advancing the field. Dr. Babrood’s FICD credential places her among dentistry’s most recognized practitioners worldwide.
IAOMT SMART Certified
Certification from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology for the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. SMART certification requires completing IAOMT coursework on mercury toxicology and safety protocols, passing written assessments, and maintaining specific equipment standards. It is the highest available credential for mercury-safe amalgam removal — verifying that a dentist follows a proven protocol to protect patients, staff, and the environment during removal.
Board Member, San Fernando Valley Dental Society
Service on the San Fernando Valley Dental Society board reflects Dr. Babrood’s commitment to the professional community she practices within. Board membership involves advocacy for patient protections, professional standards, and continuing education for dentists throughout the Valley.
Dr. Babrood’s Philosophy
At Rite Dentist, Dr. Babrood practices what she calls whole-body dentistry — the belief that oral health cannot be separated from systemic health. That means using only biocompatible materials (no mercury, no BPA, no fluoride in hygiene protocols), applying IAOMT SMART protocol for every amalgam removal, evaluating airway and sleep health alongside dental health, and taking the time to actually explain what she finds and why it matters.
The $250 new patient special exists because she believes the first visit should be comprehensive, unhurried, and educational — not a rushed cleaning with an upsell at the end.
HER PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY
Four things Dr. Babrood believes in.
01
Biocompatible always
No mercury, no BPA, no fluoride in any product used at Rite Dentist. Every material is chosen with long-term systemic safety in mind.
02
Transparency first
Patients who understand their diagnosis make better decisions. Dr. Babrood takes time to explain — not to inform consent, but because it’s the right thing to do.
03
Whole-body context
A cavity is not just a cavity. Gum disease is not just a gum problem. Oral health connects to your heart, brain, blood sugar, and sleep — and treatment should reflect that.
04
No pressure, ever
No upsells. No unnecessary treatment plans. No steering patients toward the most expensive option. If you don’t need it, you won’t hear about it.

— Dr. Maryet Nikkie Babrood, DDS, FICD
