Our highly personalized approach to treating kids ensures that your child receives exactly that amount and type of care they need.
We understand the importance of providing an enjoyable experience for children at every visit. At our dental clinic in Clarksville TN, we have created an environment that is warm, welcoming and delightful. We focus on helping your child cultivate healthy dental habits at home. These practices, combined with periodic dental exams and hygienic cleanings, set your child up for a lifetime of great oral health.
Preventative Dentistry
Preventive dentistry for kids sets the stage for strong, healthy teeth over the course of their lifetime. Routine exams and cleanings allow us to identify potential problems and address them prior to the development of serious issues. Even more important, your child will learn valuable tips and tricks for brushing and flossing at home.
Just like adults, most children are best served by having twice-yearly dental exams and hygienic cleanings. Kids’ mouths are constantly changing, as they transition from primary to emerging permanent teeth. Depending on the needs of your child, we might recommend preventive therapies such as sealants or professional fluoride treatments.

Oral Health Exams
Kids’ dental exams are one of the most important aspects of pediatric dentistry. In fact, we encourage new parents to start bringing their babies in for regular examinations as soon as their first tooth emerges – but definitely not later than their first birthday. Although little (if any) treatment is typically required at this early stage, the dentist can evaluate the gums, the bite, and other aspects of the child’s oral health.
At our dentist office in Clarksville, TN, we have created an environment that is fun and welcoming, specifically designed to put your child at ease. Our staff is committed to keeping our young patients calm and relaxed from the moment they enter the front door. By creating an engaging environment at every visit, kids can better develop a positive impression of visiting the dentist.

Cavities and Fillings
As a leading pediatric dentist in Clarksville, TN, Clarksville Smiles provides a full range of restorative dentistry treatments for children. Typically, for our young patients, this involves the identification of tooth decay or damage, which are treated using dental fillings.
Tooth decay is a common problem for kids, and one that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. Left untreated, cavities can expand to affect the tooth root and, eventually, potentially result in permanent damage to the tooth. Our office uses composite resin for tooth-colored fillings, which retain the appearance of the natural teeth.
