Dr. Fatourachi attended the University of Missouri in Kansas City and received her Bachelor of Arts in Biology. She completed post-graduate work at the same university and graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1999. After completing her training in advanced Pediatric Dentistry in 2001 at Boston University, Dr. Fatourachi moved to California where she has been practicing Pediatric Dentistry in the North County area for the last 20 years.

She is a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry as well as a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association and California Society of Pediatric Dentistry. She promotes early visits and prevention as the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Many of us didn’t grow up having positive experiences going to the dentist. Some people even reach their adult life dreading “that” visit. In many cases it all started when they were kids. Not having an empathetic, patient Dentist can really affect their attitude toward their overall oral health later in life. That is why it is so important that Dr. Houri makes a child’s first experience and every visit after at our dental office a positive one.

Dr. Houri is well known in her community for her caring approach and serenity with her patients, helping them to feel at ease and lowering the level of anxiety some patients come in with. Dr. Houri is a mother of two beautiful young daughters and currently resides in Carlsbad. She enjoys spending time with her wonderful family and friends. Dr. Houri frequently speaks to local schools about oral health and supports numerous schools and community activities, and has sponsored our local children’s sports teams.
