About The Doctors

Stacy Conn, DMD

Dr. Stacy A. Conn graduated magna cum laude from Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky with a Bachelors of Science degree in biology. She received her dental degree at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry and pursued a career in general dentistry for several years following graduation. Dr. Conn enjoyed working with the children in her general practice and decided to become a specialist in dental care for children. She then returned to the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry where she attended the two year specialty program for a diploma in pediatric dentistry.

Dr. Conn joined Dr. Mayhew’s pediatric and orthodontic practice in 1991. Her expertise in pediatric dental care and dedication to excel in her profession prompted her to pursue board certification by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. This voluntary effort in continuing education is unique in that it applies formal training with conventional continuing education and the real world of patient care, all reviewed and monitored by nationally respected peers in our field of specialty care.

Dr. Conn maintains active membership in several professional associations, serves on the Sports Medicine Team at Appalachian State University and is a part time clinical professor at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry. She is involved in the local community, supporting multiple fund raising efforts with special interests in the Watauga Education Foundation, Hospice of Watauga County and the Watauga Community Foundation.
