Meet Dr.Fallon
I have been practicing dentistry for long enough to have found that there are not many providers that look at the whole person not just the teeth. It is my mission to create an environment where dental care is given in a customized way for each patient who appreciates and accepts the care, skill and judgement that my team and I will provide.
I truly enjoy being active in my community. You may find me at a hockey rink or gymnastics meet with my husband, Matthew, and 2 children. I can be seen jogging around town, shopping at the local grocery store, coaching suburban basketball and volunteering with local schools and community programs. I feel that in order to best serve you, the patients, I need to understand our community the best I can. When I am not volunteering I enjoy crafting, reading and cake decorating (although I am still quiet an ameture in this arena).
Organized dentistry is also very important to me. I have been fortunate to be able to serve the dental community in this way for many years. I have served as the District 1 (New England) representative to the American Dental Association's New Dentist Committee from 2015-2019. Over the years, I have been honored to serve the Massachusetts Dental Society as chair of multiple committees and task forces. Currently, I am the chairperson of the Valley District Dental Society.
I have to credit my love of dentistry to the amazing continuing education that I have received from the Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, FL. This institute is one of the leading centers for dental continuing education in the world. I have made it a point to give back to this community that has given me so much. I volunteer my time and experiences with students at the institute as part of the visiting faculty. Giving dentists the gift of knowledge that my Pankey Institute mentors have given me fills my heart to the brim with happiness.
Below is just a snapshot of my career journey. You will note that it may be updated periodically as I continue to learn more and evolve.
