Dr John Kennedy

Dr. John A. Kennedy Jr., DMD. After dental school Dr. Kennedy completed an additional year of training at a General Practice Residency (GPR) located at Palmetto Health Hospital in Columbia, SC. During this year Dr. Kennedy also completed rotations within the Anesthesia Department at the Dorn VA Hospital in Columbia. The GPR residency provided significant experience treating medically complex patients both in an outpatient clinical setting as well as within the hospital operating room. Substantial clinical experience was gained in many procedures not taught in dental school such as IV Sedation and Dental Implant Placement. Dr. Kennedy has performed hundreds of sedations for every type of procedure including cleanings, crowns, implant placement and wisdom tooth extraction. 'I love performing Sedation Dentistry. After having performed hundreds of sedations, I have found Sedation Dentistry to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my job.'
