Jordyn A. Reiakvam, DDS & Per T. Reiakvam, DDS
Dr. Jordyn: I have been in and around the dental office for as long as I can remember, starting off in the front office and shadowing my dad. When I was 16 I began doing more dental assisting while continuing to shadow. This was my first big step toward reaching my lifelong dream of being a dentist alongside my father, and now colleague, Dr. Per Reiakvam.
Dr. Per Reiakvam immigrated to California as a young boy from Norway. Growing up, Per dreamed of working in the medical field. Putting himself through college by working at a dairy farm, Per studied at La Sierra College and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in biology followed by a Master’s degree in genetics. Per was able pursue his dreams after his acceptance to Loma Linda School of Dentistry shortly after. There he received his dental licensure as well as 2 years of specialized training in surgery and anesthetics and a year in implantology.
