Dr. Elizabeth “Liz” Kidder grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota and attended Marquette University for her undergraduate studies. She graduated from The University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 2006 and completed a one-year residency in general dentistry at the VA hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
After practicing for ten years, Dr. Liz sold her practice in Minnesota and moved to Baton Rouge to be with her husband, Dr. Dustin Kidder. Dr. Liz is a member of a number of dental organizations: Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, Louisiana Dental Association, Greater Baton Rouge Dental Association, LD Pankey Alumni Association.
She is also a member of the Capital Study Club, a local group of dentists and dental specialists that meet monthly for continuing education and fellowship. Their mantra is excellence in clinical dentistry and growth through collaboration.
She is a visiting faculty member for the LD Pankey Institute, a non-profit organization committed to the continuing education of dentists focusing on relationship-based, comprehensive dentistry, and speaks at dental meetings around the country on various topics including esthetic dentistry, sleep-disordered breathing and helping young dentists define their goals and career paths.
She loves all things flowers and is a licensed florist in the state of Louisiana. Her favorite vacation spot is her family cabin in Northern Wisconsin, but she loves being home in BR with Dustin, their son Sam, and their two golden retrievers, Bear and Leo.
