Children’s Dental Center
1684 Poplar Avenue, Memphis
3394 S. Houston Levee, Germantown

  • It was my daughter’s first time to see a dentist and I was nervous at how she would react. I was blown away with the sweet staff! We were greeted as soon as walked in with a smile and felt welcome the whole time we were there! Honestly, we didn’t want to leave we had such a wonderful time! Thank you for making us feel so welcome!
  • My son (3) and I were both a little apprehensive prior to his 1st dental appointment, but that melted away as soon as we walked in the door. Every single person we came in contact with, was warm and wonderful. Dr. Selecman and Ashley were both incredibly patient and kind.
  • This was our first experience with Dr. Rowland and it was quite remarkable. He was kind and managed a tricky situation with grace and quick thinking. He took time to connect with me (mom) and patient (daughter) making us both feel as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. The ladies at the billing desk were wonderful, kind, and thoughtful also.

Bartlett Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics

  • Dr. Blake Billups on Sanderlin. I absolutely love them and I used to hate the dentist. I highly recommend them!

Wilkins Orthodontics and General Dentistry

Great dentist and staff. Dentist and Orthodontist.

Brink Pediatric Dental Associates
6565 Stage Road, Bartlett
I take my 2-year-old daughter to Brink Pediatric Dental Associates. After calling a number of dentists in my general area, I found them to be the only ones who would see my daughter even though she was only a year old at the time (It is highly recommended that children are seen by a dentist soon after cutting teeth.). They are great with her. She is still somewhat leery of the whole visit, but they do a great job in helping to make her feel more comfortable and do not push her to have anything done that would scare her.

Dr. Sellers is simply amazing for both me and my children! She even offers Botox!! I can’t say enough about her! Her office is at Poplar and Estate!

Dr. Godat

Aesthetic Dentistry of Collierville
362 New Byhalia Rd, Collierville
Alan Blanton in Collierville is terrific

I’m a dental hygienist here in Memphis, but I do contract work(substituting for other hygienists)…so I go all over town, to different offices…I see the “behind the scenes” stuff, like how the dds treats employees, if they truly have the best interest of the patient at heart, quality work for reasonable price, etc…I HIGHLY recommend Micah Parkhurt (across from Target-Colonial-683-4369), Robert Gardino (near Poplar/Kirby-624-7474), and Jeff Kalmowicz (corner of White Station and Park-683-7309)…all in East Memphis…all also see children.

    Dr. Blen is too hard on the child when the parents are not around. I heard from my other child that he basically threatened my child with never seeing his mommy if he did not stop crying. I didn’t even know my child got upset!! My son told me several other things that seem out of place. I was under the impression that he employs only one hygienist. Both my children went back at the same time with someone named Dana that couldn’t even pronounce their names properly and didn’t even try to find out how. Later I found out this Dana person cleaned my child’s teeth with the scraper as they called it. I saw on the website that Dana is an assistant. I noticed that a Margaret works there as a hygienist there per the website. I called to ask about her and was told she didn’t work there anymore. Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t think assistants were supposed to clean teeth. I think dr blen is misrepresenting himself and I do not plan to return.

      My children have been patients of Dr. B’s office for years. I am confused by the above statement. He and his entire staff are the absolute best. We all know going to the dentist is not our favorite thing to do, but at his office it’s just the opposite. From the time we pull in the parking lot, my children cannot contain their excitement. My son is convinced he will be Dr. B when he grows up. He has a great mannerism about him, and all I have ever observed is the love and compassion he shows with his patients. His staff makes us feel like we are part of their family, and we were so excited to see Mrs. Margaret and the other girls this past week when we were there for our checkups. The only time my children have ever cried at Dr. B’s office is when they had to leave.

        I’m personally scared to take my child to any dentist that doesn’t allow me back with him. When my daughters were younger, I went to the “best” highly recommended pediatric dentist in our hometown, Jo esboro Ar. I had heard scary hints about the others… a couple years later we moved residences and lived next door to his assistant, and she told me terrible things he done to the kids, strapping down temporarily stuffing their mouths if they were too loud. I then started driving to see dr. b in memphis and my daufpghter loved him, but she was older… so I now have a four year old who desperately needs to go I know, but am still uneasy about not being able to go back with him. Any suggestions?

    Germantown, TN 38138
    756-8577 Mon-Thur 8-5

    I am terrified of the dentist and have not been regularly since I was a child. I only go when I have to. I had a tooth break on me, and was refereed to him by a friend who was scared of the dentist also. He made me feel comfortable and did everything he could to make me feel better. I had problems getting my crown to fit and went back several times which was frustrating but i knew it was not his fault. He even came in during the holiday when they were closed and put my crown in which finally fit. He went above and beyond helping me. Now I am not afraid.

    This is such a helpful list for those looking for a pediatric dentist to take their kids too. My children will be going to our family dentist. He does a great job, I have just wondered if they’d do better at a pediatric dentist. I wanted to pass along this Mom’s Guide to caring for kids teeth. It has great ideas on how to keep your kids teeth healthy. I hope you find it helpful too. http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/
