Here’s what our patients are saying.

They sang “Frozen” songs with my daughter and made me laugh! And I LOVE the fact that I can stay in the back with her each time, even for small procedures like a crown!

Anna T.

Awesome children’s dentist. Worth the drive. Always quick and very nice. Everything there is done up for kids. Wouldn’t take my 2 boys anywhere else.

Dallas W.

Best medical facility I have ever been to hands down. I am so impressed by the staff and facility. I will never go anywhere else.

Shelby S.

I will always highly recommend this office. Dr. Baxter and his staff are extremely polite, respectful and always put the children first. The environment is beyond any expectations, with complimentary coffee, toy stations, prize machines, and television on the ceiling. Parents are encouraged to be with their child at all times, and everyone is trained to handle nervous children.

Mariah B.

Amazing first experience with my “spirited” toddler, that otherwise could have been a traumatic experience for us all! The waiting room has everything you need to keep your children happy and busy. Once they called us back, it just kept getting better. They have a flat screen on the ceiling so your child can watch their favorite show.

Sara H.

I drive 1 1/2 hours to bring my kids here because the staff is great! My son is autistic and I was nervous about how he would handle getting a dental check-up. At our appointment today, Dr. Baxter and his staff were so great and were very patient with my son. I will definitely continue to bring my kids here.

Our Services

Cleaning & Flouride Treatments

At Shelby Pediatric Dentistry, we offer thorough cleaning and fluoride treatments. Regular cleanings help keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy, preventing cavities and gum disease. Our dental hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar, polish your child’s teeth, and provide oral hygiene instructions. Fluoride treatments strengthen the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. These treatments are quick, painless, and can be easily incorporated into your child’s regular dental check-ups.

Digital X-Rays

We use advanced digital X-ray technology, which ensures a quick and easy experience for your child. Digital X-rays are not only faster but also safer, emitting significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. Plus, they provide detailed images that help our dental team diagnose and treat dental issues with great accuracy. Our goal is to make your child’s visit as comfortable and efficient as possible, and our cutting-edge digital X-ray technology is just one of the ways we achieve that.

Sedation and Anesthesia Options

We understand that dental visits can be stressful for children, so we provide a variety of sedation options (if necessary) to ensure your child’s comfort and safety during dental procedures. Our team of skilled dentists is highly qualified in sedation dentistry. We can offer mild oral sedation for minor procedures, and even general anesthesia at our local hospital when needed for complex treatments.

We ensure that parents are well-informed about sedation and anesthesia options, and we’re available to answer any questions or address any concerns. We believe in making dental care an open, collaborative process between our team and your family.
