Tameka blends a passion for learning with a gift for teaching, making her a natural fit for dental hygiene. A Charlotte native, she first attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro before completing her dental hygiene degree at Central Piedmont Community College. She has been a hygienist for six years and has spent the last two at our Gastonia office.
For Tameka, dentistry is about more than clean teeth—it’s about empowering patients with knowledge and helping them build habits that last a lifetime. Her favorite advice is to floss every night; small daily actions create long-term health.
Away from work, Tameka treasures time with her family, loves a good movie night, and is known for her infectious laugh and upbeat spirit. She’s quick to encourage anyone considering the profession, noting the balance, flexibility, and satisfaction that comes with helping others every single day.
