Our pediatric dentistry services in Peachtree Corners are tailored to meet the unique needs of children, from their first tooth through adolescence. We are committed to providing preventative care, oral hygiene education, and monitoring jaw development, ensuring your child receives the highest quality dental care.
The Specialization of Pediatric Dentists
Our pediatric dentists have undergone additional training beyond general dental education, focusing specifically on treating children. This specialized training equips them with the skills to address common childhood oral health issues and to provide age-appropriate care and education. Their expertise, combined with a passion for working with children, ensures that our young patients receive care that is not only effective but also compassionate and comforting.

The journey from infancy to adolescence involves significant changes in a child’s oral health, including:
- Eruption of the first tooth and subsequent teeth
- Nutritional shifts impacting oral health
- Introduction to dental health practices and education
- Fluctuations in hormones affecting oral hygiene
- Development of the jaw and facial structure
- Transition from primary to permanent teeth
