Dr. Safrit along with his wife, Lisa, and their two boys, Bryce and Brant, settled in Greer following dental school in 2005 in the Sugar Creek development. Dr. Safrit and Lisa grew up between Concord and Salisbury, NC, north of Charlotte, where they were high school sweethearts. They married in 1993 and lived in Raleigh for ten years, where both boys were born.
Rob enjoys giving back to help others through mission trips to the Dominican Republic and Guatemala as well as locally through participating in Dentistry from the Heart and the Greenville Free Medical Clinic. Dr. Safrits son, Bryces Eagle Scout project was the first Dentistry from the Heart event FDH sponsored.
Dr. Mike Twitchell, also known as Twitch, moved to the Greenville area with his family in 1988. He attended Pelham Road Elementary, Northwood Middle, and Eastside High Schools (Class of 1998). While growing up, Mike was active in Northwood Little League and in Boy Scouts Troop 266 based out of St. Giles Presbyterian Church on Hudson Road. Twitch earned his Eagle Scout award in 1994.
He attended Clemson University from 1998-2002 where he earned an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Chemistry. He graduated in 2002 and immediately began dental school in Charleston, SC at the Medical University of South Carolina. While there, he participated in numerous research projects in the dental materials field. He graduated with his Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 2006.
Mike met Rob Safrit in 2002 while in dental school Rob was one class ahead of him. They became friends during their shared time at school. The early concepts of Family Dental Health began in conversations over dinner while in dental school both Rob and Mike found they liked differing, but complementary aspects of dentistry.
Over time, Mikes role at Family Dental Health has shifted from full time patient care (2006-2015) to full time operations management (2015-present). He manages from the trenches by spending most days in various practices working with doctors on their clinical objectives and career goals while keeping abreast of new opportunities for advancing patient care.
Dr. Twitchell met his wife Ashley, through her brother, Bryan, while they were in Boy Scouts together. Ashley and Mike were married in 2006 and currently live in Sugar Creek with their daughter Claire and their dachshund Roxie.
Twitch enjoys board and video games, reading, and teaching. He names his late mother, Ann Twitchell, a former teacher at both Northwood and Mauldin Middle Schools and his father, Michael Ray Twitchell, a retired project manager for Fluor Daniel, as people who have greatly influenced his life.
Shea M. Tolbert was born in North Carolina at Cherry Point Marine Corp Base, where his father was serving in the military. Most of his childhood was spent in Lenoir, NC. He later moved to South Carolina where he graduated from Easley High School.
Dr. Tolbert attended Clemson University where he was part of the Honors College and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. While at MUSC, he was presented with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry award for exhibiting the greatest interest, knowledge, and proficiency in the field of surgical and restorative implant dentistry.
Subsequently, Dr. Tolbert completed the prestigious University of Florida Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program. This residency works closely with internationally renowned training programs, including The Dawson Academy for Advanced Dental Studies and The Pankey Institute. He continues his passion for dentistry yearly by completing numerous hours of advanced continuing education courses in general practice and specialty procedures.
Dr. Tolbert is a faculty member of the Medical University of South Carolina where he helps train dental students rotating through the Greenville Free Medical Clinic. Also, he volunteers at Dentistry from the Heart FDH sponsored events.
While attending Clemson University, he met his wife, Jennifer Hoeben Tolbert. They married in March of 2007. Jennifer is a graduate of Seneca High School and Clemson University as well. She has been a choreographer for local dance studios, pageant coach, model and talent scout, and is the former official choreographer of the Teen, Miss and Mrs. All-Star United States pageants.

I attempted several times to get in for a regular cleaning unfortunately having to wait months. During my invisalign treatment I was experiencing problems and needed to be seen right away. I was seen right away and had the best experience. I have white coat syndrome however I was at ease during the appointment. Everything was explained clearly and next steps.

I had not seen a dentist in years...so my anxiety was at an all time high prior to walking in to Family Dental Health in Simpsonville. From the second I walked in and was greeted by Kathy to my hygienist Amanda to seeing Dr. Roth it was a fantastic appointment. They all understood my anxiety and were wonderful! I walked out with a smile and clean teeth and an appointment on the books in 6 months. I give them 2 thumbs up.

First time visit and the staff was welcoming and friendly. Ms. Jordan who did my cleaning was excellent. She took the time to answer all my questions and concerns and kindly gave me a classroom session on what my overall oral health was and what I need to do to keep it healthy. I highly recommend Family Dental Health!

This office is WONDERFUL! I cannot remember the lady's name that helped me but I went to the office on Garlington Rd Wednesday, the dentist there said they would call in an antibiotic for me but never did. After spending 2 days in pain I called this office bc the Garlington rd office was closed & they did everything to get me an antibiotic called into my pharmacy within 2 hours of me calling!! Honestly wish i would've went to this office to begin with!!
