Dr. Mitchell Vaughan, a father of three himself, knew early in his dental education that he wanted to focus on caring for children and shaping their experience with dentistry from an early age. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Hendrix College in 1997. He was then accepted into the dental program at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center where he achieved the Doctor of Dental Surgery designation in 2001. The next three years of Dr. Vaughan’s continued education were spent focusing exclusively on the practice of dentistry for children and he was awarded the Pediatric Dentistry Certificate in 2004.

During his studies, Dr. Vaughan gained hands-on experience as a clinical faculty member serving the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. After graduation he spent the next seven years as the Clinical Director of the Children’s Dental Center of Atlanta. Dr. Vaughan continued to gain experience at Pediatric Dentistry of Lewisburg in Pennsylvania and the Children’s Dental Sedation Center of Atlanta before proudly opening his own pediatric practice in 2018.

Dr. Vaughan is an avid traveler and has visited 6 continents in his lifetime. It is a dream of his to take a trip to Australia with his wife and three children to achieve the goal he set for himself so long ago…to visit all 7 continents. Outside of the office Dr. Vaughan can often be found hiking with his family or enjoying football, basketball and soccer.
