Jenny Jackson DMD | Jackson Analgesic Technique
About Dr. Jenny Jackson, DMD, MPH, FAAPD
Dr. Jenny Jackson is a pediatric dentist, educator, and nationally recognized leader in advanced 9.3 micron CO₂ laser dentistry. As the founder of Elevated Laser Dentistry and the innovator of the Jackson Analgesic Technique, she is dedicated to advancing clinical excellence while transforming the patient experience through compassionate, minimally invasive care.
Her work bridges the gap between clinical innovation and real-world application, helping dentists deliver more comfortable, efficient, and effective treatment for their patients.
A Foundation Built on Academic Excellence
Dr. Jackson began her academic journey at North Carolina State University, where she graduated as valedictorian with a degree in Microbiology. She went on to attend the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where she was recognized for both her academic and service contributions.
During her time at Harvard, she received the Dean’s Community Service Award and was selected to participate in the prestigious HSDM/Forsyth Institute Research Academy. These experiences helped shape her evidence-based approach to dentistry and her commitment to advancing patient care through both science and service.
A Career Rooted in Compassionate Dentistry
Dr. Jackson’s path into dentistry was inspired by her own early experiences as a patient. Those experiences led her to pursue pediatric dentistry with a clear goal: to create a more peaceful, comfortable, and positive environment for patients.
In 2007, she opened her own practice in Asheville, North Carolina, where she has spent years refining her approach to patient care. Her philosophy centers on reducing stress—for both patients and providers—while delivering exceptional clinical outcomes.
This commitment ultimately led her to explore advanced laser technology as a way to minimize discomfort and improve the overall treatment experience.
Innovator of the Jackson Analgesic Technique
Through years of clinical application and innovation, Dr. Jackson developed the Jackson Analgesic Technique, a method utilizing the 9.3 micron CO₂ laser to establish an analgesic effect during restorative procedures.
This technique has demonstrated remarkable consistency in her practice, with a success rate exceeding 99% in establishing analgesic effect in-office. Over a six-year period, fewer than ten teeth required local anesthesia during restorative procedures, including complex cases.
Today, this technique is a cornerstone of her teaching and is shared exclusively through Elevated Laser Dentistry.
Leadership, Recognition, and Professional Contributions
Dr. Jackson’s expertise has earned her recognition as both a clinician and an educator.
Her professional contributions include:
- Serving as President of the North Carolina Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
- Appointment to the Convergent Dental Clinical Advisory Board, where she was one of five dentists in the United States selected to provide clinical insight and guidance
- Recipient of the Outstanding Faculty Award for her work teaching and training residents in the MAHEC Dental GPR Program
- Ongoing involvement in training and mentoring dental assisting and hygiene students
She is widely respected for her ability to translate advanced clinical concepts into practical, usable techniques for practicing dentists.
A Commitment to Education and Mentorship
Dr. Jackson’s passion for teaching grew organically as colleagues began seeking her guidance on advanced laser techniques beyond basic certification courses.
Recognizing a gap in available education, she developed Elevated Laser Dentistry to provide a more immersive and practical learning experience.
Her approach to education focuses on:
- Hands-on skill development
- Real-world clinical application
- Personalized mentorship
- Building confidence through experience
- Improving both patient outcomes and provider experience
This commitment has made her a sought-after mentor for dentists looking to elevate their clinical capabilities.
She is one of a small number of clinicians in the country actively teaching advanced 9.3 micron CO₂ laser techniques at this level.
Advancing the Future of Laser Dentistry
Elevated Laser Dentistry was founded on the belief that clinicians should have access to advanced, compassionate techniques that improve the standard of care.
Dr. Jackson’s work continues to influence how dentists approach restorative and soft tissue procedures using the 9.3 micron CO₂ laser. By sharing her methods and insights, she is helping to shape the future of dentistry—one that prioritizes patient comfort, clinical precision, and provider confidence.
