Dr. Robert Maddux announced as 2012 Sedation Dentist of the Year

Marking the end of the fourth annual Sedation Safety Week, Robert Maddux, DDS, was announced as the 2012 Sedation Dentist of the Year. Dr. Maddux, a sedation and cosmetic dentist in Hernando, MS, has been providing relief to anxious and fearful patients with sedation dentistry for the better part of a decade.

“Sedation dentistry is by far the most enjoyable and fulfilling area of my dental practice,” states Maddux. “I’ve seen patients lives literally change from the self-confidence they gain with a beautiful smile.”

A graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry, Maddux has also received a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Canterbury. He was named one of America's Top Dentists by the "Consumer’s Research Council of America."

Maddux is a Diplomate of DOCS Education, meaning that he has completed over 200 sedation cases and 200 hours of continuing sedation education—as well as submitted at least five accepted articles in dental publications. He has completed the DOCS Education courses Oral Sedation Dentistry, DALS, Sedation Solutions, IV Sedation for Dentistry and Teen Sedation Dentistry.

Dr. Michael Silverman, President of DOCS Education and Chairman of Sedation Safety Week, praises Maddux for his commitment to sedation dentistry and patient comfort. “Dr. Robert Maddux’s dedication to his patients, family and safety is beyond reproach,” Silverman states. “He has made extra efforts to obtain as much education as possible in the area of sedation and is always seeking ways to improve his patients' experiences.”   He is currently taking Master Track classes with the Mississippi Academy of General Dentistry.

In addition to his daily practice, Maddux enjoys participating in mission work all over the world. He has completed volunteer dentistry in Africa, Ukraine, Honduras, Cuba and Venezuela.

Mississippi AGD congratulates you, Dr. Maddux.
