Scott Mason DDS-Dental Office

Meet Our staff! Today we will meet Brittany Degase. Brittany has been an assistant of the Dr for 5 years! She loves her job and the people she has met along the way. Brittany grew up in Ava and continues to reside here to raise her family. During her time not at the office Brittany keeps herself busy taking care of her 4 children, a dog, a cat, and a few chickens along side her husband Ransome. If you don’t find her at home you will more than likely find Brittany visiting her local relatives or at church. Make an appointment at Ava Family Dental and be sure to say ‘howdy’ to Brittany when you see her!

Welcome to the first post of Meet Our Staff! For anyone new to the community or looking for a dentistry home, we would like to welcome you and introduce you to our little office! First, our senior team member, Lorna Welch! Lorna grew up in Ava, attended school here, and chose to make a home in this little town as an adult. Lorna has been married to her high school sweetheart for over 20 years! During her off time you will find Lorna with her grand babies either hanging o...ut at home, visiting the park, or watching soccer games. During the week Lorna does her best to hold down the fort and keep the office flowing efficiently! When you walk through the front door she greets you with a smile and if you call the office, chances are Lorna will be the one to answer! Give the office a call to schedule an appointment and say ‘hello’ to Lorna! See more

It has been brought to our attention that there are some rumors going around regarding an employee working while being sick with Covid-19 and the office being shut down, we would like to address those at this time. An employee woke up over the holiday weekend not feeling well, with this being new and unchartered territory and the regulations constantly changing, Dr Mason felt it best to cancel one days' patients until we were able to figure out what the protocal would be. Th...e employee went to the Dr and after presenting her symptoms was informed that this particular Dr did not feel that the employee was sick with Covid, or anything contagious for that matter, but a test was performed to get confirmation of that diagnose. The employee has since received her results and comfirmed what the Dr diagnosed, her Covid-19 test results were NEGATIVE. Also, we have since learned that even IF the results would have been positive, no patients or fellow employees were at high risk and the office would be able to remain open and proceed as usual seeing patients. We thank you all for your concerns and continued support of our office. See more
