He graduated from the University of Louisville in 1970 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry and then entered the University of Louisville Dental School, graduating in 1974.
After graduating from Dental School, Dr. Sells moved with his family to Benton, Kentucky. At that time, the Sells' first daughter, Alicia, was 3 years old. A year and a half later the Sells' second daughter, Christy, was born. They are both now registered dental hygienists in the practice.

The Mastership requires an additional 600 hours of continuous education. The Academy is not a requirement, but a commitment to continuing dental education and to giving patients the best possible care.
