By teaming up with you, we can ensure that your child has a vibrant smile all the way into adulthood. At South Hill Children's Dentistry, dentistry for kids is more than bright, healthy smiles; it's also about making the trip to the dentist a calm, pleasant experience so there's no fear of 'next time'.
We take pride in seeing our patients grow into their adult teeth, so we're committed to earning the trust of everyone who visits our practice -both children and parents. That's why we take extra time to build rapport and earn confidence; it makes the experience easier for everyone.

South Hill Children's Dentistry follows the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guidelines for a First Visit By Age 1. Visiting the dentist at an early age sets a positive foundation for a lifetime of dental visits, and helps you understand how to care for baby teeth and what to expect as your baby grows.
These first visits not only help your child acclimate to a new environment and feel safe and comfortable, but they build a relationship between your family and your pediatric dentist.
When a dental emergency occurs, you and your child will know whom to call and have the security of knowing your doctor.
