Dr. Kristen Hyland

Dr. Kristen Hyland was born in North Dakota but has proudly called Delaware home since childhood. A graduate of Polytech High School in Woodside, DE, Dr. Hyland pursued her undergraduate degree at Delaware State University before earning her Doctorate in Dental Surgery from Howard University College of Dentistry in 2018, where she served as class secretary.

Following dental school, Dr. Hyland completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency through NYU Langone in Princess Anne, Maryland. She gained valuable experience serving patients on the Eastern Shore of Maryland before returning to Delaware to join Peninsula Dental of Millsboro.

Dr. Hyland is deeply passionate about providing care to underserved populations. Her older brother, who has autism, inspired her dedication to ensuring that pediatric and special needs patients receive quality dental care. While she does not personally provide sedation dentistry, she is proud to be part of a practice that offers this essential service to meet the needs of the most vulnerable patients.

Outside the office, Dr. Hyland enjoys spending time with her husband and their 2-year-old daughter. She also loves exploring her creative side through music, cooking, and baking.
