Your Child's First Step to a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles in Gainesville!

Embarking on a journey of dental health for your child? At Peachtree Children’s Dentistry in Gainesville, Georgia, we’re here to ensure that the first step is as delightful as the many that follow.

The Importance of a Dental Home

Laying the Foundation Early

Endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), establishing a “Dental Home” by your child’s first birthday is pivotal.

A dental home isn’t just a clinic; it’s a sanctuary where your child receives consistent preventive care, ensuring their smile remains radiant throughout their life. Plus, with a trusted dental home like Peachtree, you can avoid emergency room visits for dental issues.

Making the First Visit Memorable

A Positive Beginning in Gainesville

We believe in setting the right tone from the start. Here’s how you can help:

Inform: If your child is old enough, let them know about the upcoming visit. Assure them that our friendly team will guide them every step of the way.
Choose Words Wisely: Words have power. Avoid terms like “needle”, “shot”, or “hurt”. At Peachtree, we use child-friendly language that’s reassuring and comforting.
Stay Close: For the initial visit, feel free to accompany your child. As we build trust with your little one, future visits can be an opportunity for them to independently navigate their dental journey. But remember, the choice is always yours!

Our Commitment

More Than Just a Visit

At Peachtree, every appointment is an experience. We aim to foster a bond with your child, alleviating any apprehensions. While we encourage children to explore the dental world with our team, parents are always welcome to be a part of the process. For everyone’s safety and privacy, we kindly request that siblings or other children wait in our cozy reception area under adult supervision.

Remember, our goal is simple: making every visit to Peachtree a joyous one!

Had an exceptionally stellar xperience here! My little girl was nervous and she was treated so well and lovingly and was totally comfortable the whole time. As a mom I appreciate that more than anything. I watched as some of the children were hesitant and afraid and each one of their staff were so patient, kind and reassuring. All the staff I saw today were professional and great – We personally had Mrs.Tamela and Dr. Andre and both were so wonderful. I loved their bedside manner. Watching Dr Andre with the kids was awesome – I know how tiring that must be from patient to patient but he was capable of keeping the same level of energy and patience with the little ones. Super impressed!

Absolutely love this dentist! Everyone from the staff to the Dentist himself have been amazing! My son has been going here for several years and they have always made him feel comfortable and at ease. Sadly, we are moving and it will definitely be hard to find another dentist office for my son as amazing as Peachtree Children’s Dentistry!

The most amazing dentist and staff I have ever been to for my children!!! My kids came to the office with a huge fear and it changed immediately. They were so patient and kind. We will never go anywhere else
