Teresa Bushnell, ADT, grew up in sunny Tucson, Arizona.  She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona in 1997 in Math Education. Teresa was a high school math teacher for a number of years until she decided to pursue a career in dentistry. An oral surgeon recommended the dental therapy profession to her, so she moved her family to beautiful and snowy Minnesota to pursue a new career. Teresa successfully completed her education and training to become an Advanced Dental Therapist at the University of Minnesota. She has been licensed since 2013 and has practiced solely in the public health sector. Residing in northern Minnesota since 2014, her family has grown to love it here. With four children and being very active in the church, spare time is a rare luxury. Teresa enjoys being with family, attending school and sporting events, playing the piano, and volunteering.

Teresa practices at the Floodwood dental clinic.
