What Our Patients Say.

Stephanie Baughn

"My daughter has never been to a dentist, she's 2. They were so understanding and made the experience good for her! They were very patient and so caring and sweet to my baby girl! We go back in 6 months and hope to keep having that experience."

Sara Lynn

"I had a great experience at South Arkansas Pediatric Dentistry. When I showed up for my daughter's appointment, I noticed the Hummer had died. Well, the nurse came out with jumper cables to help! 😂"

For parents

Questions we hear all the time

  • At what age should my child first see a dentist?
    We recommend a first visit by your child's first birthday, or when the first tooth appears. Early visits keep teeth healthy and help your child get comfortable with the dentist.
  • What is sedation dentistry, and is it safe for kids?
    Sedation helps anxious or very young children stay calm and comfortable during treatment. We offer safe, carefully monitored options and will walk you through exactly what to expect for your child.
  • Do you treat children with special healthcare needs?
    Yes. We provide patient, individualized care for children with special needs, and can offer sedation or hospital dentistry when it's the best path to comfortable treatment.
  • Do you accept my insurance?
    We work with most major dental insurance plans. Call us at (870) 862-4KID and we'll gladly confirm your coverage and benefits before your visit.
