Meet Dr. Petteri Salo, your friendly neighborhood dentist in Pittsboro! Originally from Finland, Dr. Salo has called North Carolina home for over 30 years and is thrilled to serve his local community. After completing dental school at UNC, he and his wife settled in Pittsboro, where they love living and exploring with their trio of lively Border Collies, Ell, Willa, and Lucy.
