Why We Love Pediatric Dentistry (And You Should, Too!)

Why We Love Pediatric Dentistry (And You Should, Too!)

We established Tatum Pediatric Dentistry because it combines two of the things we love the most: dentistry and children. There's a lot to love about pediatric dentistry, and we are excited to come to work every day and help make going to the dentist a positive experience for both children and parents. It would be impossible to list everything that we love about what we do each day, but let's talk about just a few of the reasons why pediatric dentistry is the bomb.com.


First, we get to care for some of the coolest kids in the entire world. It's so rewarding to start caring for our patients as toddlers and watch them grow up a little more with each appointment. When we can teach kids to take great care of their teeth when they are young, they can experience a lifetime of good dental health.
When you work with kids, there is never a dull moment. No two patients are exactly the same, so we're glad we can provide an individualized approach to care. We love getting to know our patients, hearing their funny stories and seeing them leave our office with big smiles on their faces.

Our little patients are also accompanied by their wonderful parents, and we get to know them, too. Our parents truly care about their children's oral health, so we can work together as a team to help them have the best experience possible.

If you've never visited our office, you might not know that we also love to have fun at Tatum Pediatric Dentistry! Our office was designed with children (AND their parents) in mind, so we have everything from toys to video games available to keep everyone happy and entertained.

This is another reason why pediatric dentistry is so great. We get to go to work in a fun, colorful space filled with enjoyable distractions for our valued patients. How many other people can say they have a tree house in their office?

We strive to make our practice a positive place where children of all ages are comfortable, and we love offering incentives and prizes to reward your child's hard work. Kids get to stop by the prize machine after each visit, and we have a special reward for kids who get their teeth fixed and become cavity free.


One of the best things about Tatum Pediatric Dentistry is the fact that we have a wide variety of options and services available. We believe that special needs children deserve comfortable, thorough dental care, too, so we're happy to accommodate your child's unique needs as much as possible. We also offer safe and effective sedation and anesthesia options for patients who need these services.

Some parents have bad memories of visiting the dentist as a child, and we don't want your child to have any negative experiences at Tatum Pediatric Dentistry! From the moment you walk in the door, you'll notice that our office has been carefully designed especially for children AND their parents. 

Younger kids love the toys and colorful decorations, while our older patients can pass the time by checking out our iPads or watching a movie on one of our many flat screen TVs. If you prefer to use your own devices, it will only take a second to connect to our free WiFi.

If you haven't experienced the fun and uniqueness of pediatric dentistry, give our office a call today. Our friendly staff members are ready to answer all of your questions and book your first appointment. We accept most dental insurance plans, and other financing options are also available.


We would love to add you to the Tatum Pediatric Dentistry Family!
