Tabatha Davis Cox, Office Manager

I am married with 3 wonderful children and 2 of the cutest fur babies ever. I cherish being a mom and am truly blessed. I have been working in Dentistry since 2000. I started out as a dental assistant, which I loved, and have had several titles since then. I am currently the Office Manager at Gentle Dentistry and love my job. Although my new title doesn’t call for my hands to get dirty, I still love clinical work very much! I routinely wear my assisting hat when working in our local school and helping hands clinics. As the office Manager I would like to welcome you to our family.
