Wesley Shields, D.M.D.

General Dentist

Wesley Shields, D.M.D is a general dentist that practices in Flowood, MS. Dr. Shields graduated in 2020 from the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s School of Dentistry. Dr. Shields is a member of the American Dental Association, Mississippi Dental Association, and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. Dr. Shields is recognized by the AADSM, as a Qualified Dentist for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Dr. Shields has limited his general dentist practice to the treatment of OSA, TMJ dysfunction, and orofacial pain because of his personal experiences with sleep apnea, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. Dr. Shields has a passion for educating his patients on the overlap of sleep disorders, chronic pain, TMJ, and mood disorders. Dr. Shields feels success isn’t found only in the practitioner’s ability to find and treat problems, but rather is found when patients also understand what is going on and learn ways to help themselves prevent painful problems from reoccurring.

Dr. Shields was born and raised in Richland, MS where he graduated from high school in 2000. Dr. Shields is a former firefighter/emt-b that returned to pursue his education shortly after marrying his wife, Tiffany, in 2010. In 2012, Dr Shields and Tiffany became parents to their beautiful and lovely daughter Piper. Tiffany works with Dr. Shields, and when you call the office, it is her kind and compassionate voice you will likely hear.

Dr. Shields is following in the footsteps of his mentor, Charles Ramsey, D.M.D. Dr. Ramsey has now officially retired from practice, but Dr. Shields aims daily to live up to the standards of excellence and compassion he observed and learned from Dr. Ramsey as a previous professor at the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s School of Dentistry, a mentor, a colleague, and a friend. Along with Mrs. Renee’, Dr. Ramsey’s previous dental assistant, Dr. Shields wants to help you live your best life pain free.
