About the instructor:

Dawn Thompson started her career as a dental assistant after graduation from NHTI-Concord in 1995.  Throughout her time in practice, she has worked with a variety of doctors acquiring a wide range of experience in all aspects of dentistry.  Her expertise ranges from Office Manager to her most recent accomplishment of an aspiring EFDA.  Dawn has had over 6 years now working in Public Health and is always striving to do the best for per patients in any way attainable.  Her current job working with Dr. Kelly Perry, and occasionally Dr. Bogacz, has opened many avenues within Mid-State Health Center to expand her knowledge while working hands on along side her doctor.  With over 26 years of experience in the dental field, she is now taking on the role as the EFDA Coordinator at NHTI-Concord.

When Dawn is not working, you can find her spending time with her 10-year-old son Cole and husband Kyle.  She enjoys spending time with her family as well as all of her pets.   She loves horseback riding, snowmobiling, hiking, snowboarding, hunting, fishing, and camping.  It is very rare to find her in an idle state. 

Dawns experience and an EFDA has been extremely rewarding. Being able to place and contour fillings as well as all of her day-to-day duties has enabled her and her clinic to help even more of the local population.  Growing up in Hill NH, she is able to work with her friends and family on almost a daily basis as the Mid-State Dental Clinic is located in Bristol NH.

“I absolutely LOVE my job, coworkers and doctors!  It warms my heart every day to have the opportunity to provide the care and services that we do.  Becoming and EFDA was just one more way of giving back to my community”.
