About This Provider
Dr. Anokhi Dalia Bock is a board-certified pediatric dentist with more than 23 years of experience caring for children from infancy through adolescence. A Lake Forest, Illinois native, she earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 2003 and completed her specialty residency at Riley Children's Hospital through Indiana University School of Dentistry, earning a Master of Science in Dentistry. Her graduate research on fluoride's effect on bone earned her the Graduate Student Research Award from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. In late 2008, Dr. Bock co-founded Forest Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry with her husband Dr. Derek Bock, building a boutique-style practice that unites pediatric dentistry and orthodontics under one roof. She holds a Diplomate certification from the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, maintains staff privileges at Lake Forest Hospital, and serves families in both English and Spanish. Her approach centers on earning each child's trust from the first appointment, building positive dental experiences, and giving families the knowledge they need to support lifelong oral health at home.
