David N. Gale, DMD
Dr. Gale has been practicing general dentistry for 37 years in his Sharon home-office. He graduated Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1978 and then completed a two-year residency in pediatric and special needs dentistry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. There he met his wife, Vicki. While in New York, he taught pediatric dentistry at Columbia University and Einstein Hospital while also working in private practice. He is a member of the American Dental Association and the Massachusetts Dental Society.
In 1982 Dr. Gale and his wife moved to Sharon, where he has been ever since. The Gales have three children: Sara, Miriam, and Evan. In the earlier days of the practice, the kids could be seen playing in the backyard behind the office, but now if you look out the window, you may see Dr. Gale’s grandchildren climbing the tree-house built by Dr. Gale. When not in the office, Dr. Gale is an avid fly fisherman.

Dr. Gale’s desire to grow, learn, and integrate new techniques into her clinical practice will facilitate her ability to provide the highest quality of care for our patients.
