Dental Staff

I am a native of Leicester, NC and I graduated from Clyde A Erwin High School in 1977.  I attended Asheville Buncombe Technical Community College where I completed the Dental Assisting Program in 1978 and graduated with honors in 1980 with an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene.  I have practiced as a hygienist for over 30 years and joined Dr. Teague’s practice in 2001.  I am happily married to my husband Rick. I have two children, six grandchildren, and three dogs. I am a member of Beulah Baptist Church in Leicester, NC.  I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and being outdoors.

I am a registered dental hygienist and have been practicing for 25 years. I grew up in the west Asheville area and graduated from Erwin High School. I attended Asheville Buncombe Technical College and graduated from the dental hygiene program in 1989. I am married to my husband, Ronnie, who is a retired teacher from Buncombe County Schools. We have two sons, Zeb, a high school teacher and football coach, and Zane, a deputy with Henderson County Sheriff's Department. My hobbies include clogging, traveling, and spending time with family.

I am a native of Weaverville, NC where I graduated from North Buncombe High School. I continued my education at Appalachian State University, graduating magna cum laude, and received my Bachelor of Science in Anthropology. I then pursued a degree in Applied Science in Dental Hygiene at Asheville Buncombe Technical College. During my time as a student, I served as the Student Dental Hygiene Association's President and received Hu-Friedy's Golden Scaler Award that recognizes students from across the nation who have 'demonstrated remarkable skill and talent over the course of their classes.' I began my career at Dr. Teague's office in 2017 and I am grateful to work with such a caring and supportive team. As of 2022, I am officially certified to give local anesthetic to our patients. Fun fact - before working at Dr. Teague's office, I was a patient of the practice for the past twenty years! I am very family oriented and enjoy spending my free time exploring our beautiful mountains and immersing myself in Asheville's food culture. I recently became a new dog mom to Nelson, a red tick coonhound!

I moved to Asheville in the summer of 1999. I moved here specifically to attend the A-B Tech dental assisting program hoping to find a dental practice to further my career aspirations. I am happily married to my husband, Jeremy of 12 years. We have two beautiful children, Ava, 11, and Brayden, 8. I have worked for Dr. Teague as a dental assistant since fall 2004. I am proud to be affiliated with such a successful practice and have enjoyed fulfilling my career goals as a member of his dedicated team.

I am a native of Asheville, NC. I graduated from Clyde A. Erwin High School in 1998. After high school, I attended Asheville Buncombe Technical College where I received my dental assisting degree in 2000. I spent my first 15 years in general dentistry where I specialized in designing in-office crowns (Cerec). In 2015, I joined a periodontal practice where I spent five years expanding my knowledge and skills in the dental field. This year, 2020, I am proud to be celebrating my 20th year in dentistry! I strive to provide patient education, quality care, and establishing relationships with our patients. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children.

I was born in Orlando, Florida and relocated with my family to Arden in the summer of 2015. After graduating from T.C. Roberson High School, I chose to attend Asheville Buncombe Technical College where I obtained my certification as a dental assistant. I chose to perform my clinical rounds with Teague Dentistry and realized they were the perfect fit. I officially joined Dr. Teague's team in August of 2020. I look forward to many years continuing to establish relationships with our patients. I spend my free time with my two dogs on long hikes in our beautiful mountains. 

I am a native of Weaverville, NC. I graduated from North Buncombe High School in 2018. I started working with Teague Dentistry in 2019 as a dental assistant. I am currently furthering my education at Asheville Buncombe Technical College and will soon be applying to the dental hygiene program. It has been a joy to work with my colleagues here at Teague Dentistry and I have made many lasting connections with patients. Outside of the office, I try to spend as much time outdoors as possible. I am also a mom to two fur babies, Klein and Koda.
