Community Involvement and Volunteering

Volunteering, educating, & developing future dental professionals

Our entire team is dedicated to the health and well-being of our community!  You may see us volunteering with Miracle League, an organization that provides athletic experiences for children with special needs, or participating in one of the many community events in the Raleigh and Wake Forest areas!

School Visits & Field Trips to Our Offices

Advocating about oral health doesn’t just happen in the office. We have visit daycares and schools to teach children about keeping their teeth clean and making healthy food choices.

Intern Positions

Dr. Johnson began an internship program in 2002 for those in high school, undergraduate and graduate schools who are interested in any aspect of pediatric dentistry. These are competitive high school, college, and graduate level paid positions with priority given to patients of our practice and students with a strong academic record. We are proud to say that many former interns now work in our practice, and several are practicing dentists across the state!

“As a child, all I ever dreamed of being was a dentist. Being an intern for Dr. Johnson and Dr. Morris allowed me to turn this goal into a reality, as I now live out my lifelong dream daily of my dental practice in Newton, NC.

“My passion for dentistry started at an early age when my brother and I became patients of Dr. Johnson. I later interned at CPD throughout high school and college, and will graduate from UNC’s dental school in 2026. Dr. Johnson’s continued mentorship has been invaluable to me, and I hope one day I can pay it forward to a young aspiring dentist!”
