As a board-certified pediatric Dentist, like Dr. Owens, has gone through a rigorous examination process with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Only Dentists that have completed a residency in pediatric dentistry can sit for the board certification examinations. Board certification tests the knowledge and problem-solving abilities of a pediatric Dentist. In our opinion, taking your child to see a certified pediatric Dentist is as important as taking them to a pediatrician.

Dr. Owens and his wife, Kristen, have four children: Ryan, Ryder, Olivia, and Charlotte. When he is not in the office, Dr. Owens loves outdoor activities, learning new things and spending time with his family. Fun Fact: Dr. Owens has NEVER had a cavity!

During his studies at Roseman, treating patients and learning more about the practice of dentistry shaped his desire to provide the best possible oral health care to under-served pediatric populations. Dr. Josh was awarded a scholarship from the National Health Service Corps, one of only 27 dental students across the country to receive the award. After dental school Dr. Josh trained as a pediatric dentist at The Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage Alaska through NYU’s Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry.

Dr. Josh is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD).

Josh, his wife Jourdan, and their four children Teddy, Sage, Clae, and Flora love to spend time together outside. Hiking, camping, fishing, riding bikes, enjoying nature, and even building igloos!

Since graduation, Dr. Rogers has served as faculty at three pediatric dental residencies – in Alaska, Missouri, and Kansas. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. She enjoys teaching new generations of pediatric dentists, as well as educating her patients and their families about their oral health. She finds it especially satisfying to help anxious children overcome their fears and grow into confident dental patients.

Dr. Rogers lives in Springfield with her boyfriend and three cats (Tonks, Pippa, and Clementine). She has completed multiple genealogy certificate programs, and loves helping people untangle their family trees, as well as working with colleagues to solve criminal cases using DNA. She also loves to run, bike, and travel the world. If she’s out of the office, she’s probably on top of a mountain somewhere!
