Rosie Wagner, DDS

Founding Dentist

She/Her

Dr. Katie-Rose "Rosie" Wagner grew up in a quiet town in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. She chose to pursue dentistry for the connection between oral and systemic health and how closely we connect our mouths with our overall well-being. Dr. Rosie saw how much negative feelings like shame and embarrassment related to one's teeth can prevent someone from pursing needed dental care. She appreciates the variety of dental procedures available to restore the mouth and prevent dental issues, and loves the amount of communication that is unique to the dentist-patient relationship.

Dr. Rosie earned her Bachelor of Science degree at University of Massachusetts at Amherst where she graduated a semester early summa cum laude with a major in biology and a minor in music performance.

Dr. Wagner then earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, representing the student body by serving on the admissions and curriculum committees.

She then continued her dental education by completing a general practice residency at the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. During her residency, Dr. Wagner obtained extensive experience treating patients from a variety of backgrounds and medical histories, including patients with special needs. She performed oral rehabilitation cases in the operating room, completed rotations in oral surgery, general anesthesia, and temporomandibular disorders, served as on-call dentist for Tufts Medical Center, and maintained her own group of comprehensive care patients.

Dr. Wagner worked as an associate dentist at a pediatric dental office before building her own practice. She wished to create an environment that emphasized her unique approach to treatment and patient care. Dr. Rosie prides herself on maintaining an approachable, educational, and reassuring demeanor for all kinds of patients, especially those struggling with fear of the dentist or with worries about being judged for their teeth.

Dr. Wagner also holds hospital privileges at Franciscan Hospital for Children in Brighton, Mass. In the operating room, patients are placed under general anesthesia and Dr. Wagner can restore their entire mouth in one visit. This service is available to children and patients with special needs who are not able to receive dental care in the traditional dental setting.

Dr. Rosie is actively involved in the Massachuestts Dental Society (MDS), serving as chair of the Middlesex District Dental Society as well as being a member of the American Dental Association. She is also co-chair and founding member of the Massachusetts Oral HPV Prevention Taskforce. Dr. Wagner lectures frequently at local dental schools and provider meetings on reducing HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers through education and prevention, as well as on entrepreneurship, patient-provider communication, and environmental epidemiology. She is a subject matter expert for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (through the Oral Health Equity Project) and a board member of the Better Oral Health For Massachusetts Coalition as well as the Massachusetts Dental Society Foundation.

In her free time, Dr. Rosie plays piano and euphonium, sings, records audiobooks in the public domain for free distribution, is a professional voiceover, and enjoys contra dancing, board games, and local festivals. Dr. Wagner also comes from a dental family: Her father is a dentist and her mother manages the dental office, so Dr. Rosie spent afternoons as child filing patient records and developing radiographs. She thanks her parents for their guidance and education on patient communication and offering a nuturing, empathetic dental environment.
