The clinic is staffed by a team of highly qualified pediatric dentists, including Drs. Becky Coombs, Erin Johnson, and Tessa Holmes, who have completed extensive specialized training beyond dental school, focusing on child psychology, behavior management, and pharmacology. This additional expertise allows them to provide tailored and compassionate care for infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special healthcare needs. The clinic's mission is to offer comprehensive, accessible, and coordinated oral healthcare in a nurturing, child-centered environment. They emphasize building trust and confidence with both children and parents, understanding that positive early dental experiences are crucial for lifelong oral health. Their approach involves gentle, safe, and high-quality dentistry, with a strong focus on preventive care, such as regular check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. South Hill Pediatric Dentistry utilizes state-of-the-art technology, including Solea® laser dentistry, which helps reduce aerosols and offers less invasive treatment options. The office itself is designed to be child-friendly, featuring a warm waiting area with storybooks and toys, and treatment areas that prioritize the child's comfort. They also offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and general anesthesia, to ensure that even anxious children can receive necessary dental care comfortably. Beyond clinical services, the practice is committed to patient and parent education, providing clear explanations about oral hygiene, nutrition, and treatment plans. They actively work with families to establish good oral care habits from an early age and are prepared to handle pediatric dental emergencies. South Hill Pediatric Dentistry aims to be a lasting "dental home" for children, fostering a positive attitude towards dental health and promoting overall well-being.
