Meet Dr. Erin Roberts
“I have wanted to be a dentist since I was in the sixth grade. I had several bad dental experiences when I was young, and as a consequence, was always scared to go to the dentist. Then one time I went to a different dentist and had an excellent experience. It was at that moment I realized that it only takes one positive experience to override all the negative ones, and I knew I wanted to give that same experience to others.
Dentistry is the greatest profession to be in, and I cannot imagine doing anything else. I love being of service to my patients. I also love being a dentist because of the connection I make with each patient. I get to know them through each interaction we have. Many have not only become my dear friends, but they feel like extended family. For my whole team here, it is essential we always provide a good experience and the best care possible to our patients every time they see us. My team is my rock. I love them dearly and consider them part of my family. Without them, I certainly would not be able to accomplish all the things I have so far. Their support allows me the freedom to always dream bigger and reach higher than before.”

Professional Associations
One of the most effective ways Dr. Roberts has found to stay up-to-date concerning developments in dentistry is through active participation in professional organizations. This is a must if she is to provide you with the best care possible. Advanced research, new treatments and collective knowledge are all made available to her there. Dr. Roberts is a participating member in the following organizations:
- Currently sits on the Oklahoma State Board of Dentistry
- American Association of Dental Boards

Since not every individual in the community has the means or access to the type of dental care they may need, Dr. Roberts is involved in the Oklahoma Mission of Mercy and participates whenever its mobile dental program is in our area. This organization offers free dental care designed for those uninsured or underinsured who would otherwise not be able to receive the oral health care that they need.
