Kareen Wilson is a cofounder, luminary, and dental hygienist at Contemporary General Dentistry. Her love for beautiful smiles and beautiful relationships has made her a regular board member on the Christian Dental Society, Bethesda Medical Mission, Inc., and the Crest Smile Council.
Continuing her expertise in beautiful smiles, Kareen has been featured on the Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors Show, and numerous local media outlets. She is passionate about everyone having a beautiful smile, so she volunteers her time and conducts oral cancer screenings at local and New England inner city health fairs. Kareen also volunteers with Bethesda Medical Mission by providing dental care to beautiful people in developing countries.
In 1996, Kareen’s love for beautiful smiles and beautiful relationships made her fall in love and marry the greatest dentist ever, Dr. Wilson. When Kareen is not creating beautiful smiles, she can be found running in the hills behind her house, at Orange Theory, traveling, or spending time with her two beautiful daughters, Kierra and Bryana. The Wilson family have a miniature Schnauzer, Bentley, that she is in love with. Please don’t tell Dr. Wilson!

Hi! My name is Megan and I’m one of the registered dental hygienists at contemporary general dentistry. I graduated from Madison College in Wisconsin in 2011 with my dental hygiene degree, and I have practiced dental hygiene in Connecticut, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. The thing I love most about my job is getting to know my patients on a personal level and making them feel comfortable with coming to the dentist.
I moved to Connecticut in 2016 with my husband, and we have two beautiful little girls. Besides chasing around my crazy kids, I enjoy traveling, trying new restaurants, and going to the beach as much as possible when the weather allows. Connecticut is such a great place to raise our family, and contemporary general dentistry is an amazing practice to work for!
