"Care Beyond The Dental Chair"  Hi I am Dr. Dan Nickles. I have been preparing for this since 1984, I went to Emory University and I took the Strong Campbell test to find out what I would be best at in life. Top 3- Politics, Clergy, Medicine, so I prayed about it and I said "God if I should be a doctor, show me."  I appIied to 1 dental school and was accepted at Emory University in 1984 and graduated as a  DMD from MUSC is 1991. I took an externship at Grady Hospital in Georgia and worked along side surgeons and oral surgeons for trauma and emergency patients. It was intense and awesome, I learned from the best. I have had great mentors in my life, starting as a child, with a strong rooted family and a hard working mom and dad. My parents were married for 65 years and taught me how to roll up my sleeves and work hard. I  am a South Carolina native who has been providing exceptional dental care to our community for 33 years. I have committed 33 years to listening and caring for my patients, and their concerns about our community and It's future. I have stood firm on the patient's rights, regardless what their insurance dictates.  I refuse to let insurance control my patient's needs and that is the same way I will fight for you! I will stand firm when voting to pass bills that will affect the people. Not getting pressured behind closed doors to vote against what the people need. I have had to stand up to Corporate Dentistry and Insurance companies for my patients. I am a Private owned Practice.  I received my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from MUSC in 1991 and I have been recognized for my excellence in dentistry by the American Academy of Periodontology.  I am not only a skilled dentist, I am also a dedicated public servant who's preparing to run for SC Senate since 1984. I attend church at Grace. My vision is to bring positive, conservative change to our state, protect our children, preserve our families and businesses, and restore our Christian values in South Carolina. As the father, I understand the Importance of family values and feeling safe in our home town. I listen and care about my patients' concerns and the future of our community. You can trust that your voices will be heard and that I will work tirelessly to make a real difference. Please join and support me and my mission to make South Carolina a Better, safer place for all of us. A fresh voice and new perspective in politics. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a positive impact in South Carolina.
