He attended Wake Forest University to receive his undergraduate degree and earned his dental degree from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH.

Dr. Selph’s goal as a dentist is to make sure that each experience is fun and positive! “I am passionate about pediatric dental care and believe it has the unique opportunity to teach and motivate my patients. I hope that each experience builds confidence in my young friends and their families.” Selph strives to make each patient feel loved. He says he views each patient as his own child and wants to share their successes in and out of the office!
When not in the dental chair, Selph loves spending time outdoors and exploring what all nature has to offer. He also values quality time with his wife and two boys. Before he started practicing dentistry he was a school teacher, basketball coach, and principal!
