Hi, I’m Dr. Trandon Jefferson. I grew up in Southern Pines, North Carolina, and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Between my sophomore and junior years of college, I joined the army which I served in from 2016-2022. From UNC, I went to dental school at East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine, completing my degree in 2023. After graduating, I decided to relocate somewhere I had never been before, so I chose to work at a nonprofit dental clinic in Montana. In May 2024, I started working here at Wilkes Public Health Dental Clinic. In my free time, I enjoy volunteering, playing tennis and basketball, watching Netflix, traveling, visiting family and friends, and growing my relationship with God. Since the 10th grade, I have wanted to be a dentist who serves rural and underserved populations. During dental school, I served as the student president of my school’s American Association of Public Health Dentistry chapter. When I graduated, I received the Community Dentistry and Dental Public Health Award. I love what I do and think it is important to serve patients in rural and underserved areas. I take the time to listen to what any patient has to say and am open to all questions. I have taken care of many patients with dental anxiety and will make you feel as comfortable as you possibly can while you are in my chair. Taking care of your health while having a pleasant experience is my top priority.
