🌟 GET TO KNOW OUR TEAM: Dental Assistant, Jennifer "Jen" Carpenter!
You may know her simply as Jen, and she’s the dental assistant working alongside Dr. Edwards, our newest doctor on staff! But Jen is definitely not new to dentistry - she brings an incredible 25 years of experience to our team.
She's originally from Pocahontas, Arkansas (and yes) you may still pick up on a bit of an Arkansas accent! 😉 And here’s a fun fact… this isn’t actually Jen’s first time with our team. She previously worked with us, took time away in a different career, and then found her way right back to us - and we’re SO glad she did!
Things to know about about Jen: She's a mom to 5 kids (including a daughter-in-law), is a dog-mom to Shorkie, Max, and is excited to have a grandbaby on the way!
Hobbies include hiking, working out, sporting events & family time.
Favorite foods are grilled goodies, fresh veggies & strawberry lemon cake 🍓🍋🎂
Jen started her dental career many years ago after answering an ad in a local newspaper. She connected with that dental team through their shared faith-based interests, trained on the job, and eventually became certified through the Arkansas Dental Board. Talk about a career journey!
We’re so happy Jen found her way back to our team and know people who meet her will enjoy getting to experience her genuine love for taking great care of patients!
👇 Please help us give Jen a big “WELCOME BACK!” in the comments!
