Tahira Williams, DMD
Dental Medicine
Raised amidst the vibrant culture of Jamaica, Dr. Williams brings a unique blend of perspectives and experiences to her new role. She earned her undergraduate degree at Fairleigh Dickinson University and her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the prestigious Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Williams has worked across a spectrum of dental settings – from private practices to corporate giants and even nonprofit organizations.
What began as a temporary stint in March has now blossomed into a full-time commitment. Dr. Williams has found her niche at Community Dental, a place that aligns perfectly with her affinity for working with the younger generation. While her previous focus was primarily on adults, she’s no stranger to the world of kids’ dentistry. During her time practicing dentistry in Florida, she regularly participated in special pediatric days – a testament to her dedication to providing dental care for all ages and access to care for everyone.
Beyond her professional accolades, Dr. Williams has a zest for life that extends beyond the dental chair. She’s excited to ski the Vermont slopes, and loves all things fitness. She’s equally at home with do-it-yourself projects, whipping up culinary creations, and exploring new gastronomic delights around town. And when downtime calls, you might find her engrossed in the latest Netflix series or tuning into captivating podcasts. But it doesn’t stop there – Dr. Williams is excited to immerse herself in Vermont’s commitment to sustainability, clean energy, and the farm-to-table movement.
Philosophy of Care
With a heart full of compassion, Dr. Williams is on a mission to bridge the gap in dental care accessibility. She recognizes the challenges some residents face when seeking dental treatment and is determined to make a difference. "My goal is to educate and treat as many patients as I can. By instilling proper practices at an early age, there is an increased likelihood that they will carry them for the rest of their lives."
