Meet Dr. Meredith Adams

A Goldsboro native, Dr Meredith Adams completed her undergraduate studies at UNC-Chapel Hill and her DDS degree with distinction at the UNC School of Dentistry. She returned home to join her parents and husband in practice nearly 20 years ago.

Just like her mother's legacy of 40 years of practice, Dr. Adams has limited her practice to treating children and adolescents since graduation. She is a member of the North Carolina Dental Society, the American Dental Association, and an affiliate member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. She focuses 100 percent of her continuing education on the prevention and treatment of dental disease in children and the management of their oral and maxillofacial growth and development.

In her spare time, she enjoys time at the beach with her family and is the mother of teenage twins.
