Meet The Doctors

Dr. Benjamin Hulse graduated Valedictorian from Utah Valley University in 2002, and from University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 2006 where his research into the treatment of oral yeast infections in HIV patients was published. Dr. Benjamin Hulse knows how to make a big impression on patients. After serving in the U.S. Army where he was a dental captain and was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, he opened a dental practice in Tennessee and was voted the best dentist in town by residents after only one year in business, and again every year thereafter until he and his family relocated to Utah Valley in 2013. His Salem Smiles office was selected best dental practice in Utah County in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. This practice was sold at the end of 2018 as Dr Hulse decided to relocate his practice to Lehi. Before Floss Family Dentistry had been open for even a year, it had already been voted the best dental practice in Utah County in Utah Valley Magazine for 2021 and 2022. Dr. Hulse’s expertise, research contributions and friendly personality led him to be named one of the top 40 dentists under 40 nationally by Incisal Edge magazine, a publication for dentists.
