So the reason I first got interested in dentistry is because of my experience with my own teeth. For the good part of my younger years with teeth that I was not really happy with. I didn’t like to smile and when I was about 16 years old, went to an orthodontist, was able to get my teeth straightened, pulled a bunch of teeth to make room.
I had a lot of crowding. Teeth were just kind of going every direction. The change that occurred in my self-confidence, in being able to smile and not feeling like I had to hide my smile.
That transformation had a huge impact on me and that’s when I first started becoming interested in dentistry. So for me the most rewarding parts of dentistry would be being able to help someone who is in pain, get them out of pain. Secondly, would be helping someone who is unhappy with their smile and helping them to improve their smile, improve their self-confidence.
You know, being able to to smile confidently around friends and family. I do not like to push or sell any kind of dental procedures on anybody. I see myself as a patient advocate and that is to lay out all the choices, the pros and cons, make a recommendation, help the patient understand what possible trade-offs there are.
But ultimately it’s their mouth and they have to decide what’s best for their mouth. Own whatever those decisions and trade-offs are but try to help them come to the best place for their own dental health.
Your Compassionate Dentist for a Winning Smile
Dr. Adam Fulton’s path to dentistry began with a personal transformation. After years of concealing his smile, undergoing orthodontic treatment didn’t just straighten his teeth – it fundamentally changed his confidence. That experience inspired his career choice. Today he has the privilege of helping others experience similar transformations, whether through relieving discomfort or creating beautiful smiles.
In 2011, Dr. Fulton and his family made the decision to move to south central Pennsylvania, bringing their four children (now five!) closer to loved ones. It’s proven to be a wonderful choice – they’ve grown to cherish both the area and its residents. As a dentist, he finds genuine fulfillment in his work, particularly in building relationships with patients who entrust him with their care.
Among Dr. Fulton’s notable accomplishments:
- Graduated from Brigham Young University in 2003, with a BS in geography
- Graduated from University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry in 2008
- Awarded the Outstanding Clinical Performance Award for Excellence in Prosthodontics, 2008
- Certified Provider of Six Month Smiles Adult Orthodontic System, 2012

Sam. Sherry and doctor Newman we’re all wonderful people. Dr. Newman made me feel at ease and relaxed. Especially with my anxiety of not enjoying the dentist. Drive Newman’s hygienist was great too… I really wish Guilford, hill dentistry Had payment plans because I would have stayed to get all my work done. I am having a hard time finding a dental surgeon To do all of my dental surgery, nobody wants to take my dental plan with my Medicare, and that’s one of the toughest parts….. I just don’t have $13,000. And it makes it difficult for me having a disability , and I don’t have that kind of money…… I loved having Dr Newman for my Dr and having sam help me financially.
