Dr. Caroline H. Shiboski cares for adult and pediatric patients with oral mucosal diseases and other oral disorders. These include inflammatory conditions (lichen planus, pemphigus, pemphigoid), infectious diseases (such as candidiasis and herpes virus infections), certain oral pain conditions (such as burning mouth syndrome) and the oral complications of graft-versus-host disease, which may develop following a stem cell transplant. She is also involved with the initial diagnosis of oral cancer and precancerous conditions, and works closely with the head and neck surgery team for timely referral and treatment.
Shiboski's research focuses on the possible oral manifestations of immune system dysfunction, oral cancer and Sjögren's syndrome.
Shiboski earned her doctor of dental surgery degree from Paris Descartes University in France. She completed a residency in oral medicine at UCSF. She earned a master of public health degree in epidemiology and a doctorate in epidemiology at the University of California, Berkeley.
