Dr. Sarah LangstonThe Dental Wellness Group44 • SEPTEMBER 2021
– W O M E N I N B U S I N E S S –A D V E R T O R I A LDr. Sarah Langston juggles many roles ona daily basis. Wife, mother, daughter, friend,and dentist are just a few of those roles thatshe loves the most. Though a native of Laurel,Sarah resides in Madison with her husband of16 years, Cory, and the three children theyhave together: Lillie (19), Ford (10), andCaroline (6).In July of 2013, Sarah was thrilled to openThe Dental Wellness Group in Brandon, andshe’s loved how her practice has allowed her todevelop relationships with members of the localcommunity, her employees, and her patients.“I’m not someone who always knew thatI wanted to be a dentist. In fact, as a childI hated going to the dentist, and I initiallyplanned to become a medical doctor,” saidSarah. “However, one day after talking to oneof my friends, I decided to go the route ofdentistry and it’s been great. It’s allowed meto control my time a little better in the seasonof life that I’m in with kids and a family, sothat has worked well for me.”As a general dentist, Sarah treats patients,young and old, but she does admit that shehas a soft spot for her pediatric patients.Growing up in Laurel, Sarah’s dentist was herbest friend’s father, and it was this view ofsmall-town dentistry, and a practice wherepatients feel both taken care of and valued,that guided her. According to Sarah, shewanted to have a dental practice like the onethat she grew up in, where both the patientsand practice grew alongside each other.“I love my job because I’m able to spendtime with people all day – people who are likeme and people who aren’t. I am able to learnabout their lives and vice versa and we’vedeveloped some great relationships,” saidSarah. “My philosophy behind patient care atmy practice is that I wouldn’t do, say, or tell mypatients to do anything that I wouldn’t do, say,or tell my mother to do.”Her philosophy of patient care isn’t theonly thing that has been shaped by her mother.In fact, Sarah credits her mother with beingone of the most influential people in her life.Both Sarah’s father and mother owned theirown businesses and watching their hard workand rewards of entrepreneurship made itsmark on Sarah’s life at an early age. It taughther that it is ok to dream big, and that you canhave and do what you want to do, if you’rewilling to work hard for it.“My mom has always been such a hugeencourager to me, and she always taught methat as a woman you needed to be able to standon your own two feet,” said Sarah. “That hasbeen something that has always been in theback of my mind. It’s not about having someoneyou do or don’t depend on, because honestlyI hate the word ‘dependents.’ It’s more aboutknowing that you can support and take careof yourself.”Another part of her life growing up thathas contributed to her success and the waythat she shapes both her worldview anddecisions has been traveling. According toSarah, her parents always loved to travel,and they were able to travel together as afamily quite a bit growing up, which she saidfundamentally shaped her perspective.Traveling is something that she and Coryhave also carried on within their own family,and they love to travel to different places.“It’s important to me that my kids get toexperience and see other things and people,”said Sarah. “Though it’s been hard to do muchtraveling for the last year and a half due toCovid, Cory and I always try to take the kidsto different places whenever we can.”Speaking of her husband Cory, Sarahgushes about him. They’ve been togetheralmost 20 years now, and she says they arefinally at the point where they’ve spent moreof their lives together than apart. While Corycontinues to make a huge impact on theirpersonal lives, Sarah admits that he’s beenintegral at her practice as well.“I would never have done this if it weren’tfor Cory. He’s an encourager and a ‘doer,’ andhe pushes me not to get stuck in the detailsbut instead take action,” said Sarah. “Coryconstantly tells me that I can do things, andI just don’t know that I would’ve ever hadmy own practice without him.”When she’s not at her practice, travelingwith her family, or spending times withfriends, Sarah also attends Madison HeightsPresbyterian Church with her family and saysthat she loves the community there. She saysthat whether she is “Sarah” in Madison or“Dr. Langston” in Brandon, she’s the sameperson at heart each day, and that’s somethingwe can’t help but smile about.To learn more about Dr. Sarah Langston and The DentalWellness Group, visit www.drsarahlangston.com.Hometown RANKIN • 45
