Over 37 years ago, when she first opened Gentle Dentistry, one of Dr. Angela Rasmussen’s guiding principles was that her patients would be treated like she wanted to be treated. “We offer only superior dental care with the safety and comfort of our patients in mind,” she says. Beyond traditional restorative dentistry, “Dr. A” enjoys giving her patients beautiful smiles through treatments like veneers, whitening, Invisalisn, bonding, Botox and fillers.

Angela has four adult children: her oldest son, Rick: followed by identical twins, Marc and Matt; and her youngest daughter, Kirstin. All four of her children are dentists, and all four are married to dentists. “We’re the largest dental family in the U.S.!” Angela says.

Angela has called Tampa her home since 1982, and she loves giving back to her community. She is especially proud of her endowed scholarship at USF, which enables students in need to realize their dreams in the health field. As 1992’s Mrs. Florida, she spearheaded “Project: I can,” a goal-setting program for our students here in Hillsborough County.
