Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Allen worked as a dental assistant in a pediatric dental office for six years while attending college. She immediately fell in love with the field! Attending LSU’s dental school became her biggest dream, and the rest is history. Dentistry may not always be easy, but it is rewarding, and today, she strives to be not only highly compassionate but also the most attentive listener possible every step of the way.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Allen earned her dental doctorate at the Louisiana State University School of Dentistry. Since then, she has pursued continuing education on a variety of topics, including veneers, Invisalign, endodontics, and general leadership. She is currently a proud member of the following dental organizations:
American Dental Association
Tennessee Dental Association
Academy of General Dentistry
SPEAR Education
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Allen is married with a special fur-baby (a Shih-poo) named Gigi Mama. In her spare time away from the practice, you can often find her hiking, kayaking, rollerblading, and generally being a HUGE sci-fi nerd – she loves Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Witcher, and plenty of other novels and movies. She’s also great at pinball and even plays competitively at tournaments!
