Dr. Curtis Answers Your Questions

Your dentist is an expert in adult dentistry, which is perfect for adults. But when it comes to kids, they need a different kind of care.

As a board-certified pediatric dentist, I’ve completed additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on children’s unique dental needs.

This includes advanced expertise in:

  • Facial growth and dental development to ensure healthy smiles as they grow.
  • Child-friendly techniques designed to make procedures safe, efficient, and as stress-free as possible.

My goal is to make dental visits easier and more comfortable for kids—and their parents too!

No. At Curtis Kids Dentistry, we believe in giving each child the attention they deserve. That’s why we see our pediatric patients in private exam rooms, free from distractions, so your child can feel comfortable and relaxed throughout their visit.

At Curtis Kids Dentistry, we believe every child deserves great dental care, so we’re proud to make accommodations for kids with special needs. We treat all our little patients with kindness and respect, and we have a special place in our hearts for children with physical, mental, and emotional differences. We’re here to make sure every child feels comfortable and cared for!

We have a wheelchair-accessible exam room.

At Curtis Kids Dentistry, we want your child’s first visit to be a fun and memorable experience. From the moment you walk in, we’ll greet you with a warm welcome. Children of all ages can find something engaging to entertain themselves while you fill out the requisite paperwork.

After a quick tour of our office, you and your little one will head to a private exam room where you’ll meet Dr. Curtis for a thorough dental check-up. We’ll finish the visit with a gentle cleaning from our skilled hygienist and a fluoride treatment, with your permission. It’s all about making your child feel at ease and excited for future visits!

What Parents near Athens Are Saying

“… Brittany handled my daughter's X-rays and teeth cleaning with so much patience and kindness. She sweetly explained what tools she would use and how they worked and then ‘practiced’ how they would feel on my daughter's hand. She was patient and understanding when my daughter had some anxiety in the chair, and her kindness helped her feel more confident as the procedure moved along.”

Leah H. Middaugh

“We were referred by our primary dentist to Curtis Kids Dentistry. When I called, the receptionist was very helpful and got us scheduled for the next day. The staff were absolutely wonderful. Everyone was super kind and courteous. The facility was child-oriented, with plenty of toys and entertainment, but without being overstimulating. We were taken to our room immediately after checking in. Dr. Curtis met with us promptly, was very informative about how we needed to proceed with our daughter’s treatment, and was incredibly kind. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Curtis and his practice to anyone looking for a great children’s dentist!!”

Connie Benefield

“100% the BEST pediatric dentist AND staff I've ever encountered!! Dr. Curtis is absolutely amazing with his bedside manner and how he interacts with his young patients. My granddaughter is 9 and autistic with severe anxiety. He put a crown on her, and she was totally calm, smiling and relaxed. So blessed to have Dr. Curtis in Canton!!”

Wendy Kennedy

“We felt welcomed the second we came in. Such a kid-friendly and warm setting for those nervous newcomers! We were asked if we had any worries or questions as parents, and I loved that it felt personal! You can tell this office is a place of love, acceptance, and good-hearted people. 10/10 recommend!”
