Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.
Happily married, Dr. Tenholder’s husband, Randy, is retired from the United States Air Force and works for a government contractor in St. Louis, Missouri. They share three children – Randy Jr., Rodney, and Abby.
Outside of the office, she enjoys cooking, entertaining, and spending time with her family.
