Dr. Broom grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Pascagoula, and received a Bachelor of Science degree from Mississippi State University in 1979. He graduated from the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry in 1983 where he received a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. Because of his love for children he decided to pursue a career that would allow him to devote his life to caring for them. In 1986 he completed a two-year residency in Pediatric Dentistry at Childrens Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the largest childrens hospitals in the United States. During his residency Dr. Broom received extensive specialty training that has proven invaluable in equipping him to provide excellent dental care for infants, children, and teens as well as children with special needs. He has been well trained in reducing fear and anxiety in apprehensive patients.
After completing his residency, Dr. Broom returned to the coast and established his practice of pediatric dentistry in Gulfport in 1987, and a second location was added in Ocean Springs in 2011. His practice is filled with patients from across the Mississippi Gulf Coast as well as from Louisiana and Alabama. Especially rewarding to him is that as his practice has grown he is now beginning to care for the children of his earliest patients.

He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Mississippi Dental Association, the Mississippi Society of Pediatric Dentists, and is on staff at multiple local hospitals and outpatient surgery centers.
