Dr. Martin & Co.
Dr. Teresa Martin DMD
Being a provider and student of dentistry for over 28 years has been one of the greatest highlights of my life. I am grateful to God for placing remarkable people in my path to bless my life and equip me with the heart, the attitude and the skills needed to love being a dentist and as a result create a place where our group of outstanding caregivers and our patients patients at Scioto Smiles can enjoy the experience of dentistry as well. In addition to all things Dentistry, I enjoy following Jesus Christ, enjoying my cabin in the woods, riding ATVs, cheering on my husband as he races his legend car on the dirt track, visiting Disney, and you will often find me enjoying a card game with family and friends at home and away. I look forward to meeting you and creating a great experience for you and your family.
