Dr. Kristina Palmer
Doctor Kristina Palmer
Dr. Kristina Palmer grew up in Williamston, MI the youngest in a family of nine children. She attended Michigan State University and after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences, she moved to Milwaukee, WI to attend dental school at Marquette University. After graduation, Dr. Palmer was excited to return back home to practice near her large, close-knit family.
Dr. Palmer has consistently pursued continuing education across the country with the most sought after educators in the field. She has completed the complete curriculum at the prestigious Dawson Academy in Florida. Dr. Palmer has a special interest in airway conscious dentistry for adults and children, treatment of ankyloglossia (tongue and lip-ties) from infancy through adulthood, as well as orthodontics.
Dr. Palmer lives in Williamston with her husband, John, their son Henry and their two standard poodles. They also have two beautiful foster children who have forever changed their lives. Dr. Palmer is an avid runner and has completed numerous full and half marathons. As a family, the Palmers enjoy camping, traveling and cheering on their Spartans.
Why Oak Bark Dental
When rebranding her practice, it was important to Dr. Palmer to find a name that reflected the personalized, family-oriented environment from which her practice was built. The name Oak Bark Dental is a reflection of the street on which Dr. Palmer grew up and where her mother still lives today. Additionally, for many years, Dr. Palmer’s father served as chairman of the Department of Horticulture at Michigan State University. Trees, plants and flowers of all kinds were near and dear to his heart and Oak Bark Dental is an ode to his memory.
