Dr. Jack Bynes, president of dentalfear.com, received his B.A. degree in bacteriology and zoology from the University of Connecticut.  He earned his D.M.D. (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree from Tufts University.  After graduating from Tufts he served in the United States Air Force as a captain in the Dental Corps in Karamursel, Turkey.  After leaving active duty, Bobbi and Jack settled in South Windsor where Jack established his first dental practice.  Bobbi and Jack purchased the Coventry property, now known as Bynes’ Falls, in 1970.  In 1975, Jack opened his second practice in what was once an 18th century grist mill on the property.  The location was perfect for creating a practice devoted to treatment and prevention of dental fear.  Within one year, the South Windsor practice was sold so that Jack could devote all his energy to the Coventry practice.

Jack is a member of the American Dental Association, the Connecticut State Dental Association, the Hartford and Tolland County Dental Societies, The Academy of Laser Dentistry and DOCS (Dentists Organization for Conscious Sedation).  He has passed proficiency examinations and is certified to use dental lasers.  Jack’s reputation in dentistry has been built upon providing care for people who fear going to the dentist.  He has written a dental textbook and authors articles for several national dental journals.  Currently, he is developing an online seminar for other dentists interested in learning how to treat patients with dental fears.  He also has lectured to various dental groups and has been involved in research on dental fears.  Among his hobbies are carpentry, woodworking, painting, writing, photography and working on sports cars.  He has had several photography exhibits and has written an unpublished novel.  Many of his photographs are displayed throughout the office.
