Mr Gina Collins Mancini

Welcome to our Meet the Team page and thank you for your interest in our practice. I am blessed to be able to spend my days with this team and I look forward to getting to know you and you getting to know our ABS Family. A little about my background is that I was born in High Point, NC and moved to Jacksonville when I was three years old. I attended North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC and then attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, MA. I graduated in 2000 and continued my training at Harvard School of Dental Medicine as well as a prosthodontic private practice in Cambridge, MA. I loved my time in Boston, but I also missed my family back here in North Carolina. I came back and began my dental career at Anderson & Slack Dentistry, which just so happened to be my dentist as a child. It was a great learning experience and I had the opportunity to work with several dentists that mentored me and I am grateful for the 10 years I spent there. I then decided to open my own practice and it has been incredibly rewarding. I truly love coming to work and treating my patients, getting to know them, and being able to work with the people I have as part of my team. I am truly blessed. I am a member of The Onslow County Dental Society, American Dental Association and North Carolina Dental Society. I enjoy spending time with my husband and my children. I also enjoy writing and because of this, I decided to write a children’s book a few years ago, Tabitha and Tanner the Tooth. I wrote this because over the years, I treated a lot of children and I wanted to create something to help ease their anxiety and help make dentistry fun. This journey with Tabitha and Tanner the Tooth has been even more than expected. It has allowed me to reach children beyond my private practice. The books and buddies have been taken to children on mission trips, been purchased from people all across the country and I am very proud of this. We use the lessons in my book in our office and it has helped many children conquer their fear of dentistry and improve health care habits and nutritional habits that will last them a lifetime. Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I look forward to meeting you.
