Carter joins local dental care
Veteran of the United States Navy, Thaddeus Carter, DMD, recently joined Forest Edge Dental Care in Woodland Park.
“In the Navy, I got exposed to all types of procedures, root canals and complicated care,” Carter said.
Forest Edge is one of few practices that accept patients who are insured with Medicaid; in addition, the practice is a VA provider and takes insurance based on patients’ PPO plans.
Carter acknowledges the anxiety that some people feel about going to the dentist.
“By being relatable we allay a lot of those fears,” he said. “We have the technology and the instruments to be able to render specialty care.”
Before arriving in Woodland Park, Carter was a partner in a dental practice in the Kentucky/Ohio area and at one time was the clinical director of a national dental association.
At Forest Edge, Carter points to the convenience factor for patients who can save a trip to Colorado Springs for dental care.
“The objective is to take care of people in a convenient manner and considering affordability,” he said. “That is the premise on which I joined Forest Edge Dental Care.”
