Smiles By Rosie
About
Smiles By Rosie Family Dentistry is a Somerville practice for adults and children, built especially for people with dental anxiety or a fear of being judged about their teeth. Patients who have not seen a dentist in a long time are its specialty. The team explains what is happening at each step and teaches patients about their oral health at a pace they are comfortable with, promising no judgment and no lectures, and a safe place for long-term care.
Dr. Katie-Rose “Rosie” Wagner grew up in the Berkshires, studied biology at UMass Amherst, earned her dental degree at the University at Buffalo, and completed a general practice residency at Tufts, treating patients with special needs and serving as on-call dentist for Tufts Medical Center. She worked at a pediatric office before opening her own practice. She also holds hospital privileges at Franciscan Hospital for Children, where she can restore a patient’s whole mouth in one visit under general anesthesia.
