Dentistry profession is perfect fit for former skater

by | Mar 23, 2023 | Latest

In celebration of Women’s History Month, The Farmersville Times reached out to Dr. Carole Bates, owner of Farmersville Dental and Caddo Mills Dental for her insight on work and family life balance.

Canadian born and raised, Bates said she never expected dentistry to be in her future. Her passion from a young age was ice skating, which she did professionally for six years with Disney on Ice, before settling down with her husband Scott in the Dallas area.
