About the Practice

Welcome to Athens Dentistry for Children, a state-of-the-art dental office for infants, children and teens located in Athens, Georgia. We like to call our office Athens Smile Tree because it is our job to grow healthy smiles for our patients. We believe that every child is entitled to a beautiful, healthy smile and it is our mission to make a difference in each of our patient's lives.

Our Approach

Our mission is to provide quality, comprehensive dental care to our patients in a loving environment and to emphasize education and prevention of dental disease.

At Athens Dentistry for Children, we believe that comprehensive dental care is the best way to ensure your child's oral health. For you and your child this means we will not only diagnose any dental needs, but we will educate you on how to prevent cavities from forming. Using age appropriate milestones and anticipatory guidance, our staff will educate you about what to expect during each stage of dental development and how to maintain your child's healthy smile. We will discuss your child's diet, oral habits and oral hygiene practices at each check-up appointment.

Treatment

Should your child require dental treatment, we will take into consideration your child's temperament and any past unhappy experiences when determining how we will approach treatment. While most children tolerate dental treatment very well with us simply explaining in kid friendly terms what will happen during the appointment (tell, show, do), some children may benefit from nitrous oxide (laughing gas), conscious sedation or general anesthesia in a hospital setting. We will discuss these options with you in depth should the need for dental treatment arise.

We thank you for your interest in our office and look forward to being your child's dental home. Please contact us at 706.355.3109 with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
