Jennifer Trulove
Dental Assistant

Jennifer joined Dr. Martin’s practice in July of 2002.  She has enjoyed being Dr. Martin’s chairside assistant for the past 6 years.

Jennifer assists Dr. Martin in all dental procedures.  She takes xrays that are needed to help Dr. Martin diagnose the proper treatment for each patient.  She makes sure he has everything needed to proceed with the patient’s care.  Jennifer takes impressions and makes the patient temporaries as well.

Jennifer is a graduate of Hernando High School.  She attended ICC and Northeast Community Colleges.  Jennifer has completed various continuing education courses throughout her 13 years of being a dental assistant.  She received her CPR certification through ICC and her radiology permit through Northeast.

Jennifer is married to her wonderful husband Tony, and they have three beautiful children-Tyler, Troy, and Emma.  Jennifer is a “total baseball mom” for her boys.  She and her daughter enjoy shopping, dressing up, and, of course, getting pampered.

Jennifer says that Dr. Martin is the most sincere person she has ever known.  He only wants the best for all of his patients as well as his employees.  She feels very fortunate to have someone to stay on top of her smile.  Not only does she think Dr. Martin is a wonderful person, she knows he is an excellent dentist!

Karen Brinton
Dental Hygienist

Karen Brinton joined Dr. Martin’s staff in February 2007.  A native of North Carolina, she and her family moved to Tupelo in 1987.  She graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1976.

Karen and her husband, Bob, are proud parents to three children, Erin, Lindsey, and David.  The youngest is in college, so she is adjusting to her “empty nest” by remaining active in her church and community.  She also enjoys traveling to visit her daughters, reading, and cross-stitching.

Her part-time employment with Martin Dental Clinic has been a joy.  The staff and Dr. Martin are so easy to work with and she appreciates how much they all care about their patients.
