I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to be a dentist and that I wanted to live in Atlanta. While in college at Florida State, I worked as a dental assistant and confirmed that dentistry was definitely for me. I attended dental school at The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, earning my DDS degree in 1996. Knowing that I wanted to work with kids as a Pediatric Dentist, I did a two-year residency at Childrens National Medical Center in Washington, DC.
After finishing my residency in 1998, I could not wait to move to Atlanta to start practicing and working with children. When I moved to Atlanta, I met my husband, Shawn, fell in love, got married and now have two adorable little girls, Katherine and Caroline. I worked for 8 years at a practice in Alpharetta, Georgia. When I had my daughters, I decided that I wanted to work closer to our home and be more of a part of our great Dunwoody community. We opened our practice in Dunwoody Village in April 2007.
As a mother, I appreciate the extremely important decisions that parents must make in the care of their children's health, including the care of their teeth. I promise to provide you with the information you need to make the best decisions possible for your family's dental well-being. More importantly, I will provide your children with individualized care and dental healthcare choices to fit their specific needs - my highest priority is the comfort and health of our patients and their families.
Here are a few of my professional accomplishments and societies that I belong to. I am board-certified by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. I am also a member of the American Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, Southeastern Society of Pediatric Dentistry, Georgia Society of Pediatric Dentistry and the Hinman Dental Society. In 2007, I became the course director for the Pediatric Emergencies in the Dental Office Continuing Education course.

Hi! My name is Andrea. I grew up in Madison, Georgia but have lived in Atlanta for most of my life. I have years of experience in general and periodontal dentistry but when I came to work for Dr. Scott, I found pediatric dentistry to be my true calling! I love working in such an amazing and caring workplace. I have two wonderful sons and two equally wonderful daughters-in-law! In my free time, I love spending it with my grandson with another grand baby on the way! I also enjoy the beach-St. Simons being my favorite. I have a dog, Bentley, and a very loud cat, Max, that keep me busy!
