About Kate Craig, DMD:
Dr. Kate Craig is passionate about dental wellness and preventive care to keep patients healthy and smiling. “I’m especially passionate about oral cancer screening, as I've seen more than my fair share of oral cancer in my career,” she explains. “I also am very committed to making my patients feel comfortable and confident, whether it’s a routine checkup or a complex dental care procedure like an extraction.”
Her call to pursue a career in dentistry came early, as she hails from a dental practitioner family. “I was drawn to dental medicine because I saw the need for providers who are kind and make people feel comfortable,” Dr. Craig shares. “I began my career in public health and am thrilled to be back—it feels like coming home.”

She has presented research at the American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research conference and served as Vice President of the Luzerne County Dental Society. Dr. Craig is a member of the American Dental Association and Pennsylvania Dental Association.
In her free time, Dr. Craig enjoys spending time with her husband and four young children. They enjoy hiking, biking, and attending their kids’ sporting events and school activities.
