  • Cyndi Clark

  • Misty Petree

Misty loves spending time with her family by going to the lake, the river, and hunting.  If you can’t find Misty at work or on the ballfield, volleyball court, or motocross track, she is probably at Ortho Carolina with one of the accident-prone kids! 😉

  • Angie Tharington
    Certified Dental Assistant

    Angie attended Guilford Technical Community College, and is a certified dental assistant with our practice since 1996.  Angie is married to Jonathan, and they have two sons named Trevor and Zack. When Angie has time away from the office, she enjoys making crafts, loving on her pugs, Angel and Diesel and traveling to watch her boys compete in clay shooting competitions.  Angie can only hitch hike with one hand, as she has one thumb that is smaller than the other. *We think this makes her a better assistant 😉

  • Melanie Harris
    Dental Assistant

    Melanie attended Wilkes Community College and received her dental certification from Wake Forest Health Sciences.  She joined our team in 2013 with over 20 years of experience.  Melanie has a husband Scott, a son Christopher, and a grandson Ryder.  Melanie cannot say “no” to any stray animal which is why she has two Shihtzus, one Shihtzu mix, a Chihuahua, some rescue dogs, and an abandoned squirrel.  Melanie loves camping in her camper, the beach, reading, and spending time with her grandson.

  • Brooke Boger
    Certified Dental Assistant

    Brooke joined Clemmons Family Dental in 2019. She attended Forsyth Technical Community College to get her certification as a dental assistant.

Brooke also holds a TikTok degree and will continue to work to sharpen her skills moving forward. 😉 Brooke is married to Brandon and they have two sons, Owen and Ethan.  Although Brooke works daily as an assistant, she is also a huge asset to every aspect of the office.  Her free time is spent with her kids and their sporting activities.  She loves to take road trips, reading, and being involved with her church family and community. Brooke has a contagious laugh that we enjoy whenever we are near her.

When not chasing children and dogs Kerstin loves to spend time with friends and family, where she gets the opportunity to tell the “world's longest stories.”  Her patients enjoy their time with her and she makes them feel very comfortable as she gets them all shined up.

  • Kassidy White
    Registered Dental Hygienist

    Kassidy has been with Clemmons Family Dental since 2023. Kassidy had many major milestones occur for her in the last couple of years.  Kassidy studied hygiene at Guilford Technical Community College.  Kassidy graduated on a Thursday from hygiene school and the very next day she married her sweetheart, Logan.  They waited to celebrate with a honeymoon until after she took her board certification test.  They also have a Shihtzu named Rambo who doesn’t know he is a dog or only 10 pounds.  Kassidy adds just the right things to balance us out here at the office.  She has a great sense of humor, she can multitask, and she is also tall (which makes 3 out of 17 of us. 😉) Kassidy also has a crazy sense of adventure—she has been skydiving twice and would go again and again and again.
