The first in her family to attend college, she enrolled at Albany State University as a Hope Scholar, was selected among Who’s Who among American Colleges and Universities (Students), and graduated cum laude from Albany State University with a BS in Biology.

While at Albany State University she developed a love and passion for dentistry and attended dental workshops at the Medical College of Georgia (Georgia Regents University). She then enrolled at the School of Dental Medicine at Georgia Regents University where she was selected as a United Concordia Scholar. While in dental school, she was an active member of the Student National Dental Association, the American Student Dental Association, and the Give-A-Smile Organization. She participated in several community events and oral health screenings at schools and the Augusta, GA Flea Market. As part of her involvement with the Medical Campus Outreach organization, she traveled to Port of Spain, Trinidad on a mission trip where she was part of the team that provided free services and oral health education to the residents.

Dr. Roberts obtained her Doctorate in Dental Medicine in 2009. She is trained in general dental procedures and has enhanced her skills by attending several specialty workshops and training. Dr. Roberts served as an associate from 2009 performing general dentistry services before establishing her own practice, Oglethorpe Family Dental which she purchased from Dr. John P. Johnson in April 2013. As owner, she is committed to providing the best oral care to her patients. In 2014, Oglethorpe Family Dental was selected as Hinesville Best of 2014 for Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dr. Roberts is very passionate about the improvement of oral health in families and stresses the impact of oral health on the overall health of individuals. She has dedicated her life to enhancing the access to oral care for all individuals especially those in underserved populations. Consequently, since 2011 she has participated as a provider in the National Health Service Corps (NHSC). The NHSC is a Federal government program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that helps bring health care to those who need it most. Since its inception in 1972, the program has been building healthy communities by connecting primary healthcare providers to areas of the United States with limited access to care. Hinesville, GA is one such area and Oglethorpe Family Dental is an NHSC-approved healthcare site.

Dr. Roberts’ passion and commitment are not limited to the US as she has participated in overseas mission trips that provided free services and oral health education to needy populations in other countries.
