Terri Bream - Office Manager
My name is Terri and I have been in the medical/dental profession for 30+ years. I came to Bream Family Dental Care in 2003, when Dr. Bream was the dentist and Dr. Terlep was still in high school. I came to the practice to use my expert clinical skills in airway management and Advanced Cardiac Life Support for patients receiving nitrous oxide and sedation dentistry. I live in Charlottesville with my husband and two feline furbabies, Calypso & Maia. I am an active grandmother of 12 and love every moment that I get with them. In my downtime, I love to sew, quilt and garden. I have been a honeybee keeper for 9 years and find that hobby most fascinating. There is always something to learn in the apiary and, although you might be surprised to know this, I find that it is a therapeutic and relaxing experience to be outside working with the honeybees. I have enjoyed every year that I have been working at Bream Family Dental Care and I take pride in knowing that we provide excellent services to all of our clients.
