Dr. Jillian Broughton-Tedder
Dr. Jillian Broughton-Tedder’s passion for helping others and for art drew her to dentistry early in life. A native of Mauldin, SC, Dr. Jillian graduated from Furman University in 2015 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology. During her time at Furman, she received an academic scholarship and was president of the Rho Zeta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Inc. Furthering her education, she graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2020. During her time at MUSC she volunteered at the East Cooper Community Outreach Dental Clinic, the Special Olympics, and completed a dental mission trip in Ecuador. After that, she completed a year of Advanced Education in General Dentistry at a comprehensive health center in Nashville, TN. Dr. Jillian relocated back to Charleston, SC to be with her now husband, Senator Deon Tedder. She is now an associate dentist at Coastal Kids Dental and Braces where she rotates through their many offices in Charleston. She has always been interested in the way dentistry incorporates art and science to make a difference in peoples’ smiles. Dr. Jillian’s favorite part about working with children is how funny and sometimes brutally honest they are. She enjoys helping them create positive lifelong habits. In her free time, Dr. Jillian enjoys trying out new restaurants, Pilates, making Tik-Toks with her sister and two nieces, sketching, and traveling.
