Melinda L. Wagner, DMD, a Dentist with Wagner Schultz Dental

Get to know Dentist Dr. Melinda L. Wagner, who serves patients in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Life-long personal friends and professional colleagues Dr. Wagner and Dr. Schultz announced the formation of their partnership, Wagner Schultz Dental, in July of 2019. Together, they are committed to furthering a tradition of offering the best of patient-centered dentistry and TMJ treatment in a state-of-the-art dental practice in Red Bank, New Jersey. 

Bringing over 30 years of experience to the Two Rivers community, Dr. Wagner specializes in cosmetic dentistry, pediatric dentistry, restoration of implants, and periodontal treatment with an onsite periodontist, Dr. Rebecca Subin.

Her practice employs a multidisciplinary approach to ensure that her patients achieve the best possible dental outcomes. As a result, her patients enjoy not only the personal touch of small practice dentistry, but also, when appropriate, the specialized expertise of other health care professionals. For example, some of her patients have benefitted by appliance therapy, behavior modification, and other in-office physical therapy treatment.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ/TMD) is one of Dr. Wagner’s areas of expertise. She studied this challenging subject at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine and, over the years, has developed a recognized expertise in this area, even authoring several articles in professional publications relating to TMD/TMJ diagnosis and treatment. She has also helped countless patients with TMJ/TMD issues, successfully resolving seemingly intractable problems, including headaches, pain in and around the ear, tender jaw muscles, clicking noises in the jaw, and “locking” jaw joints.

After graduating from the Fairleigh Dickinson Dental School with her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree, Dr. Wagner completed a one-year general practice residency at Monmouth Medical Center. Also, she proudly served in the New Jersey Army National Guard for six years, attaining the rank of Captain.

Among her professional associations, she is a member of the American College of Dentists, the American Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Association, the American Association of Orofacial Pain, the TMJ Alumni Association of Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, as well as the Monmouth-Ocean County Dental Society (where she served as the first female president). 

Dedicated to providing healthy and happy smiles, this dentist was honored for 25 years of dedicated service on the teaching staff at the Monmouth Medical Center. Her years of experience as both a teacher and a practitioner has given her a skill set of unique depth and breadth.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.
