The practice is spearheaded by Dr. Nelson Allen, a highly qualified and compassionate professional who is Board Certified in both Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. This dual certification ensures that children receive integrated care for both their general dental needs and orthodontic development. The core philosophy of Douglasville Dentistry & Orthodontics for Kids revolves around treating every child with the same care and attention as they would their own. They strive to create a peaceful, fun, and stress-free environment, aiming to transform potentially anxious dental visits into positive and even enjoyable experiences for young patients. This is achieved through a kid-friendly office design, incorporating elements like games, and by offering "happy visits" where children can get acquainted with the office without immediate dental work. Their services cover a broad spectrum of pediatric dental and orthodontic needs. This includes routine preventive care such as comprehensive oral health exams, professional dental cleanings, fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel, and dental sealants to protect against cavities. For restorative needs, they offer white fillings and pediatric crowns. The practice is also equipped to handle dental emergencies promptly. A significant aspect of their offerings is pediatric orthodontics, including early interceptive care to guide proper jaw and tooth development. They utilize modern dental technology, including low-radiation digital intraoral X-rays and digital Panorex, for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Understanding that some children may experience anxiety, Douglasville Dentistry & Orthodontics for Kids provides sedation options, including oral conscious sedation for mild anxiety and IV sedation for more apprehensive children or those with special needs. This ensures a comfortable and safe experience for all patients. Convenience and accessibility are key priorities for the practice. Located at 3387 GA-5 in Douglasville, right off Interstate 20, they offer easy access and ample free parking.
