Pediatric Dentistry in Franklin and Savannah, TN

What is a Pediatric Dentist?

A pediatric dentist is a dental specialist for children, much like a pediatrician for oral health. Dr. Morris "Buzz" Alexander, a board-certified pediatric dentist in Franklin, TN, has completed advanced specialty training to provide expert dental care for:

Infants & toddlers – From their first tooth to their first visit.
Children & pre-teens – Ensuring proper oral development.
Teenagers – Helping kids transition to a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Children with special healthcare needs – Providing compassionate, customized care.

Unlike general dentists, pediatric dentists complete 2-3 years of additional specialty training beyond dental school. This advanced education focuses on:

  • Child-specific dental care – Monitoring growth, preventing cavities, and addressing dental concerns early.
  • Behavior management – Helping children feel safe and comfortable in the dental chair.
  • Preventive & restorative dentistry – From fluoride treatments and sealants to gentle cavity treatments.
  • Emergency pediatric dental care – Specialized training in treating dental trauma and injuries.
  • Special needs dentistry – Tailored dental care for children with unique medical or developmental needs.

At Pediatric Dental Care, we exclusively treat children, ensuring that every visit is gentle, fun, and stress-free for both kids and parents!
