He continues his education through the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the South Carolina Dental Association. Dr. Hicklin says, “For me, dentistry doesn’t feel like work-I can’t imagine doing anything else. I enjoy the variety of procedures and especially getting to know my patients!”
