BATESVILLE – National dental magazine, Incisal Edge, published an article naming the top 40 dentists age 40 and under, and it features a local dentist.
Dr. Bradley Broughton practices dentistry at Batesville Dental. He is one of 40 dentists nationwide selected and traveled to New York City for a photo shoot for the publication.
Dr. Broughton is a fourth-generation dentist as his great-grandfather opened an office in Cincinnati. The report details how Broughton works alongside his wife and mother, and still treats patients that travel from Cincinnati.
The 35-year-old notes that he enjoys general dentistry, such as doing fillings and cleanings, as well as staying in touch with returning patients.
Broughton says in the article, he has received national and regional awards for showing Arabian horses.
He was national champion in 1994 and reserve national champion in 1997 at the Arabian Horse Association National Championships in Oklahoma City in show hack.
Broughton says the biggest challenge he dealt with in dentistry was opening his own practice. He later met his wife, Dawn, in the office and they married in 2010. She remained there working as a dental assistant.
