If you’ve ever visited our Carrolton office, you’ve probably met Dr. Melissa Scaggs and had her work on your smile in one capacity or another. She decided she’d like to open up and let her patients and any people considering becoming one get to know her as well as she enjoys getting to know them.
So Dr. Melissa, What’s your favorite part of being a dentist?
Getting to know my patients.
Least favorite part?
When I cause my patients pain.
How do you spend your free time?
Running after my three year old Wilson.
One weird fact most people don’t know about you?
I honeymooned in Cleveland at the 7th annual PEZ convention, and yes, I have a collection of PEZ dispensers.
Favorite movie?
Inconceivable but the The Princess Bride of course! We shall move on to the next question. As you wish…
Favorite season?
Fall.
If you could make one oral problem gone from the entire world, what would it be and why?
Dry mouth. Many seniors suffer from it and it causes tooth loss.
Words you live by?
Let Go. Let God.
