Meet Dr. Morgan

Dr. Morgan Karnath, DDS (Dr. Morgan)
Board-Eligible Pediatric Dentist

Hello! I’m Dr. Morgan, and I am excited to embark on this new chapter as a pediatric dentist in our community. I am originally from Kalispell, Montana and grew up loving being outside,
playing basketball and volleyball, and reading good books. I have always loved working with kids–from coaching Rotary volleyball in high school, tutoring elementary students after school in undergrad, to being a Youth Group leader at my church in dental school and residency.

My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with a minor in
Biology from Montana Tech in Butte, Montana. I was fascinated by the interplay between
science and health, which led me to a career in dentistry where I could make a tangible
difference in young lives. I then earned my DDS at the University of Utah School of Dentistry.

Following dental school, I completed a pediatric dental residency at Primary Children’s Hospital
in Salt Lake City, Utah. This specialized training equipped me with advanced skills in managing
the unique dental needs of children and adolescents.

What I love when I’m not in the dental office:

• Being outside! Hiking, backpacking, skiing, biking are all the best
• Collecting (too many) plants, my current favorite is the monstera deliciosa (swiss cheese
  plant)
• Sampling as much coffee and ice cream as possible
• Spending time with my husband and our pets–Indie the orange tabby cat, and Jonesy
  the black labradoodle

Philosophy of Care
My philosophy of care centers on the principle of prevention. I firmly believe that proactive
measures are the cornerstone of maintaining excellent oral health and preventing more serious
dental issues from arising. Creating a positive and educational environment is key to
encouraging good habits from an early age. Through a gentle, patient-centered approach, I
strive to make every dental visit a great experience.
