MEET THE DOCTORS

Meet The Doctors

Dr. Jenny Jackson

Stemming from a desire to make dental visits fun and easy and for children to stay close to their parents

during visits, Dr. Jackson founded Asheville Pediatric Dentistry in 2007. When she learned about Solea,

the all-tissue dental laser (“healing light”) that makes almost all dental restorations possible without

numbing, she knew she had to make this technology available to our community and spread the word to

other practitioners. Now Dr. Jackson is honored to be one of five dentists on Solea’s Clinical Advisory Board and teaches it nationwide.

When she’s not helping people or teaching, Dr. Jackson enjoys spending time with her family. She feels

blessed with her husband of over 20 years, their two children, and fluffy Tibetan Terrier. Together their

family loves getting outdoors, doing games together, and exercising. Loving God and loving people are two of the most important things to her (Matthew 22: 37-40).

Dr. Sean Killpack

Dr. Sean Killpack (many find it easier to say, “Dr. K”) was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and grew up in Southeastern Missouri. He has lived in many different places including New Mexico, Utah, Illinois, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Additionally, during his early college years, he lived abroad in Southern Brazil for two years where he learned to speak fluent Portuguese and served as a missionary for his church. It has always been his dream to work with and care for kids, and he feels very privileged to learn from and work alongside Dr. Jackson.
