Meet the Periodontal Staff

Melissa

Office Manager

I have lived in Georgia for the past 20 years, recently returning to Carroll County to be closer to my family. I obtained my Certified Dental Assistance Certificate (CDA) at the Medix School in 2003 and had been a dental assistant in a general dentist practice for the past ten years. I enjoy spending time with my family and have been volunteering with foster children for the past four years.

Aaron Wike, CDA

Dental Assistant

I joined Carroll Periodontics and Implant Dentistry in 2020 as a dental assistant. Prior to Carroll Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, I was a practicing Dental Assistant for 8 years in general dentistry and some specialty work. I received my dental assisting license from the Maryland State Board after completion of the D.A.T.S. program and then my Certified Dental Assisting license a year following. I have been a Carroll County resident most of my life but currently reside in Littlestown, PA. When I’m not keeping busy with teeth, you can find me spending time with my dogs, in my garden, playing video games, or in the pool swimming and hanging out with friends.
