"This is from Kiara Crowley. I went to Tupelo Smiles for the first time today and I was very grateful. As nervous as I was, I finally recovered once I finally made it for my appointment. The whole atmosphere was beautiful and amazing. I was greeted by a very sweet young lady at the front desk. She was very welcoming with a huge friendly smile. I also got a chance to meet with an awesome dental hygienist named Chancis. She was so incredible and I recommend her to everyone who visits Tupelo Smiles. She made me extremely comfortable before and after my teeth were examined. I was even handed a cute and comfy blanket when I got chilly. She never judged me and I really appreciate her. Last but not least I was introduced to Dr. Kenney. He was very kind, informative, and professional. Overall, I had a very great experience and look forward to coming back. Tupelo Smiles definitely values their patients and helps them smile as well."

"Dr. Kenney and his care team are always great. I have horrible anxiety when it comes to dental appointments due to previous experiences but they have been so patient and understanding with me. They do very well at explaining my care plan and helping me to keep a healthy smile! I am thankful Tupelo Smiles even if I have given them $1000s of dollars 🤣"
