Misty Smith, RDH

Misty grew up near Fall Creek Falls State Park and graduated from Bledsoe County High School with an Honors Diploma in 1999 where she was awarded the very prestigious Farris Foundation Scholarship for academic success, community leadership, and volunteer work. She then graduated from Chattanooga State Community College in 2004 in the top 5 percent of her class with an AAS degree in Dental Hygiene. In 2004 she was awarded the Proctor and Gamble Preventative Dentistry Award for excellent patient care and education. Misty is licensed in both administering local anesthesia and administering and monitoring nitrous oxide. Her professional associations include American Dental Hygienists Association, Tennessee Dental Hygienists Association, and the Chattanooga Area Dental Hygienists Association.

"Our patients here have become my friends, and I love coming to work everyday visiting with friends, helping them to smile confidently, and have overall better health! I believe that each team member here at Dr. Gallien's office truly strives to have a personal relationship with each patient. That is what gives this office such high quality and uniqueness," says Misty.

Misty's volunteer work includes serving as a Daisy Girl Scout Troop leader, coaching youth cheerleading and working with RAM (Remote Area Medical) which serves medical and dental needs of underprivileged communities. In her time away from work Misty enjoys spending time with her husband, Travis, their daughters, Aloni and Anna, and her very energetic golden retriever, Sparta.
