Fifty Years in Dentistry: Brunswick Dental Associates' Dr. Maritza Dominguez Marks a Career Milestone in New Brunswick

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — The path of Dr. Maritza Dominguez, D.M.D., F.G.D., D.F.D., to the treatment chair began the day she graduated high school and took her first job as a dental assistant. By April of this milestone era in her career, she marked 50 years in the dental field — a span that began long before she ever earned her degree and that has shaped Brunswick Dental Associates, known locally as Dentista Hispana New Brunswick.

A Career Built From the Ground Up

Dr. Dominguez worked as a dental assistant before she trained as a dentist. That early, ground-level start gave her what the practice describes as significant experience in all phases of dental practice — sterilization, chairside support, hygiene, and ultimately full clinical treatment — long before she enrolled at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, now Rutgers School of Dentistry, where she graduated in 1988. She didn't stop there: from 1988 to 1989, she completed a full one-year Fellowship in Geriatric Dentistry, a specialized credential that reflects a deliberate focus on the particular needs of older patients, from medication interactions to the realities of long-term oral health maintenance.

A Signature Focus: Dentistry for Diabetics

A central focus of Brunswick Dental Associates is care for patients with diabetes. According to the practice, Dr. Dominguez became certified to treat patients with diabetes in 2008 and spent seven years working directly with the American Diabetes Association. That experience is woven into the practice's identity — its very web presence is built around the connection between diabetes and oral health, a relationship Dr. Dominguez has made it her mission to explain to patients who may not realize how closely the two are linked. The practice's own description of her approach captures the philosophy plainly: she is "very passionate about spreading the word on how Diabetes and Dentistry are closely related." The practice says that for patients managing diabetes, it plans care around how blood sugar control affects healing, gum health, and long-term treatment.
