Dr. Carlos Moretta is a board certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. He completed his specialty training at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Throughout residency, he went on multiple missionary trips including Nepal, Zambia, Mongolia, Philippines, Saipan, Peru, Haiti, Thailand, and Bangladesh. He is the current director of Undergraduate Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at LLUSD where he has been teaching Local Anesthesia to Dental Hygiene students and didactic and clinical Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to predoctoral and post-doctoral levels for over a decade. He feels that teaching in an academic setting is the best way to practice dentistry as the ripple effect of one’s instruction is far-reaching and often goes global. His desire is to inspire his students, residents, and

colleagues to see all patients, especially those in distant lands, with little to no access to care, through the loving, pitying eyeglasses of our Creator.
