CareSouth Carolina is excited to announce the addition of Dr. Carolye Mason, DMD, as the newest member of its dental team. Dr. Mason brings decades of private practice and public health experience, with a focus on health education and providing care to underserved communities.
“It was an opportunity to serve in the community and the school-based program. Getting back in touch with the underserved population, which is very important. It’s one that I think I connect with the most. We’re not just treating teeth, we’re treating people and transforming smiles,” said Dr. Mason about her decision to join CareSouth Carolina.
Dr. Mason will primarily serve the Bishopville Dental Office and will also assist with school-based programs in Darlington and Bishopville. She will provide care for both children and adults, ensuring patients receive as much access to care as possible.
“If I can make the patient most happy, they’re most gratified. They’re more confident. We’re here to serve and make sure that access to care is given,” Dr. Mason added.
CareSouth Carolina is home to a world-class dental program that includes the Miles of Smiles initiative, offering comprehensive oral health services to children throughout the Pee Dee region. The program provides preventive, emergency, and restorative care at various schools and community locations.
CareSouth Carolina also offers specialized dental clinics for individuals with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and special healthcare needs.

Additionally, CareSouth’s Mobile Dental Unit ensures that underserved communities have access to oral health services, reaching patients where they are.
In addition to her professional responsibilities, Dr. Mason enjoys cooking, gardening, playing volleyball, and playing the piano during her time away from work.
