Dr. Adam Siray was born and raised in the foothills of Millarville, Alberta. He studied Biology at the University of Lethbridge before being accepted into the Dentistry program at the University of Alberta, where he received degrees in Doctor of Dental Surgery and a Bachelor of Medical Sciences. After several years of practicing general dentistry in Calgary, Dr. Siray’s enthusiasm and passion for the care of children brought him to the University of Manitoba where he received his Masters of Dentistry in Pediatric Dentistry and fellowship in Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Adam loves to see all the smiling faces that come to ABC and is dedicated to serving the pediatric population throughout the Calgary and Foothills region. His favorite part of the day is taking the time to chat and getting to know all the kids visiting the clinic, especially finding out their favorite movies! He especially loves anything Star Wars, and thanks to his daughters, he has a thorough knowledge of all the famous Disney princesses. He believes communication is essential to creating a calm and trusting atmosphere.
During his studies and in collaboration with The Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba, Dr. Siray pilot-tested a new Canadian caries risk assessment tool for preschool children. The findings of this study demonstrated the impact that nutrition and preventative factors had on infant and preschooler oral health. As such he is passionate about emphasizing preventative dental care and educating patients and their families about children’s special oral care needs.
Outside of work, Dr. Adam loves to spend time with his wife Stephanie and his 3 beautiful children Ava, Ciara, and Luke. You can often find them exploring the mountains in the summertime camping, hiking, and biking, and in the winter hitting the slopes on their snowboards.
The dental assistants at ABC Pediatric Dentistry are part of our integrated healthcare team that provides oral care to patients. They perform a number of duties throughout the day, including collecting patient information, preparing and maintaining dental instruments and equipment, assisting Dr. Hulland’s inpatient care, and preparing dental materials for restorations. A vital aspect of dental assisting involves communication with patients to achieve and maintain optimal oral health as an integral part of well-being.
Our Dental assistants have all successfully completed high school with an emphasis on sciences including biology and chemistry. Dental assistant programs provide training in areas including microbiology and infection control, preventive dentistry, dental radiography, clinical assisting procedures, and community dental health. In addition, all of our Dental Assistants maintain a valid CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) Level C certificate.

Along with myofunctional therapists, Dr. Hulland allies with professionals such as general dentists, orthodontists, and osteopaths to ensure that her patient’s needs are addressed and handled appropriately. We feel that in order to be successful, treatment needs to be looked at from a variety of approaches.
