Dr. John Terry Poole

Meet Dr. Poole
Dr. John T. Poole III has been a practicing general dentist for nine years. He was inspired to pursue a career in dentistry by the caring dentists he knew in his family and in his home community.  He earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biology at Washington and Lee University in 1997, and he graduated from the College of Dental Medicine at the  Medical University of South Carolina in 2002. 
In 2003, Dr. Poole completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency Program while practicing in the U.S. Navy Dental Corps.  He served at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida and Camp LeJeune, North Carolina as an active-duty navy dental officer.  In 2004, he deployed to Kuwait for seven months with a navy dental detachment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
In 2005, Dr. Poole and his family relocated back to the Charleston, South Carolina area.  He worked in private practices as a dental associate for four years until he joined Dr. Thomas Janecek at Oakbrook …Family Dentistry in 2009. Oakbrook Family Dentistry was at that time, and continues to be, the “perfect fit” for Dr. Poole.
Dr. Poole is an active member of the Coastal District Dental Society, the South Carolina Dental Association, and the American Dental Association.  He annually exceeds the hourly continuing education requirements to stay current with rapid developments in the dental field.  He has studied at the Dawson Academy in Saint Petersburg, Florida and meets regularly with colleagues at local study groups.
Dr. Poole enjoys getting to know his patients on a personal level so that he can develop a treatment plan that works well with their needs and goals.  He also loves using his artistic talents to create beautiful smiles for his patients.  In his free time, Dr. Poole enjoys music, cooking, and spending time outdoors with his family in the beautiful South Carolina Lowcountry.
