Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our specialized pediatric dental care addresses the unique oral health needs of infants, children, and adolescents. We provide comprehensive examinations, preventive treatments, and developmental monitoring to ensure proper dental growth. Our approach emphasizes early detection of orthodontic issues and implementation of habit counseling for thumb sucking or pacifier use. The service includes creating positive dental experiences that establish lifelong oral hygiene routines while maintaining a child-friendly environment that reduces anxiety.
Dental Emergencies
We offer urgent treatment for dental trauma including chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth, as well as severe toothaches and infections. Our emergency services prioritize rapid pain relief and immediate intervention to preserve dental health. The team is trained to handle pediatric emergencies with calming techniques and appropriate sedation options. We maintain extended availability for urgent cases and provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure proper healing and prevent future complications.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel and reverse early signs of decay in children's developing teeth. We use child-safe formulations applied through varnishes or gels during routine checkups. The treatment creates a protective barrier against acid attacks from oral bacteria and dietary sugars. We customize application frequency based on individual risk factors and provide home care recommendations to maximize cavity prevention while monitoring fluoride intake for optimal dental development.
Dental Sealants
We apply protective sealants to permanent molars to prevent food particle accumulation in deep grooves where brushing can't reach. The clear resin coating bonds to chewing surfaces, creating a smooth texture that resists plaque buildup. This service is particularly effective for cavity-prone children and forms part of our preventive care strategy. The non-invasive procedure takes minutes per tooth and provides several years of protection when properly maintained through regular dental checkups.
Fillings
Our tooth-colored composite fillings restore decayed primary and permanent teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics. We use minimally invasive techniques to preserve healthy tooth structure and apply local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. The procedure includes complete decay removal, cavity preparation, and durable resin bonding that matches surrounding teeth. We educate families about post-treatment care and monitor restored teeth during follow-up visits to ensure proper function and longevity.

Horrible customer service! I've been using this dentist for years for my kids and I used to love it; however, it has gone downhill over the years. The office staff is constantly changing and the dentist is no longer as welcoming as she used to be. My most recent complaint is that my child's appointment was cancelled and rescheduled twice. When we arrived (on time) for the third scheduled appointment, we had to wait 40 minutes before being seen.
This was only after I complained about the wait. I expressed my displeasure and not one of the staff members or dentist offered any kind of apology or showed any concern. This is coming from the same office who cancels your appointment if you don't confirm prior or arrive late and who charges you for canceling the same day. They want you to respect their time but they have no respect for yours!

We have been using Dr. Harden for years now and have always been impressed with her knowledge, skill, and calming presence with our children. They actually enjoy going to the dentist. With COVID-19 and our return to visits, I was very pleased with the precautions and care that she and her staff have taken to keep her patients and staff safe. I cannot recommend Dr. Harden and her practice enough.

I absolutely loved it here! We have been coming for years, and the treatment is always the same. Clean facility, knowledgeable staff, and a caring Dentist who always has a smile on her face. Though we reside in Rincon, we are willing to make the drive to Savannah; the service here is just THAT stellar. Both of my daughter's have built up a trusting relationship with Dr. Flower, as she has a very easy going personality and calming spirit. We appreciate this office, and staff for being a part of our extended family.

My son has been here since he been 2 years old. I have watched staff come and go. When he first got here they had a show them. Where everyone wore the same type of shoes. I thought that was great and a great way to keep the work environment positive. The dentist is nice. However over the years the experience has headed down hill. It started with the appointments taking along time once you there. Now it has moved to canceling appointments, which I understand things come up.
But the thing is if I cancel the day of I have to pay a fee. Now it has appointments 30 minutes behind with no notice to the parents and they will cancel your appointment if you leave. This to me is an example of poor customer service. A simple phone call to let you know and do you want to keep the appointment would work. Not to take anything away from this dentist but there are aways better ways of handling things that benefits everyone. Business have to be mindful that customer service can build or break a business.

Dr. Flowers and her staff are the epitome of professional. They are clean, gentle and kind to the children they treat. My child has been getting dental care with Simply Children's Dentistry since he was 3 years old, he is now 13! Great family atmosphere. We could not have chosen a better Pediatric Dentist. I recommend Simply Children's Dentistry wholeheartedly!
