Reviews

"Been coming to Tupelo Smiles my entire life, and I’ve always had a wonderful experience. The waiting environment is great for kids, although I’ve always been taken back right on time. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I’ve always been able to trust them with my dental health, from cavities to wisdom tooth removals. Dr. Richard Caron and Dr. John Kenney have always done a great job, and Dr. Emilie Russel has been an incredible addition to the staff."

"I got to my appointment on time and I had just sat in the waiting room when Riley called my name to come back for my dental appointment. She was excellent and a delight to talk to. Dr Caron came in after my teeth were clean and did a thorough examination. He repaired a tooth that I accidentally brokewhen my electric toothbrush jumped out of my hand after starting it to brush my teeth. It took only a few minutes and my tooth was repaired. I had no pain and my tooth looked brand new. Thank you Tupelo Smiles. I’ve been seeing the caring staff at Tupelo Smiles for over 25 years and I am so thankful for there professional care of my dental health.Thank you again and God bless you all."
