The Dental Assisting Handbook

Robert E. Porter, DDS was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina where he now lives with his wife and children and practices general dentistry. He is a second-generation dentist and has a passion for simplifying the complexities of exceptional dental care so dentistry can be calm and predictable for patients and dental providers. While working alongside his father, Dr. Charles Porter, III, he recognized the value of mentorship and the importance of continuous learning in dentistry. His first-hand experiences as a clinician revealed how clear and accessible information truly benefited patient care and inspired his journey to becoming an author. Dr. Robert aspires to generate, organize, and share content that can positively impact all dental professionals, especially those new to dentistry and seeking direction for how to experience and accelerate professional growth. His interests extend beyond dentistry, and he enjoys cooking delicious meals, spending time with his family, and exploring the outdoors.
