Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on comprehensive oral health for children from infancy through adolescence. We provide routine checkups, cleanings, and developmental monitoring in a playful, stress-free environment. Our board-certified specialists use child-friendly techniques to prevent dental issues and establish positive lifelong habits.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer oral and IV sedation options to help anxious children receive necessary dental care comfortably. Our sedation protocols are administered by trained professionals in a controlled environment. This service ensures even complex treatments can be completed safely while minimizing distress for young patients.
Sealants
Dental sealants provide a protective barrier against decay on children's molars. Our application process is quick, painless, and highly effective for preventing cavities. We recommend this preventive treatment for permanent molars as soon as they erupt, typically between ages 6-12.
Hospital Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental care for children with developmental disabilities or medical complexities in a hospital setting. Our team coordinates with pediatricians and specialists to ensure safe, effective treatment. This service addresses dental needs that cannot be managed in a standard office environment.
Teeth Whitening for Teens
Our professional whitening solutions safely enhance smiles for adolescents and adults. We offer both in-office treatments and customized take-home kits with dentist-formulated products. This service addresses staining from braces, dietary habits, or natural discoloration while maintaining enamel health.

Took my 4yr old to her first dental appointment here and I have nothing but Great things to say. Everyone was so very friendly and took the time to explain what they were going to do and to my baby girl's teeth and she was very comfortable. Answered all my questions and took the time to listen to all my concerns. Dr. Jackson and the dental hygienists were just Great! Thank you for a very great 1st time dental experience for my 4yr old today. She is looking forward to her next dentist appointment!

Usually I would rate this dentist much higher, but they were extremely busy the day we visited, and they could not or would not take the time and care they usually give my autistic son. He greatly dislikes things shoved in his mouth, and has just started being able to even tolerate the x-ray process. The hygienists today were very quick with him, did not explain anything, and didn't take their time so he could adjust. It's out of character for this practice, and they are usually MUCH, much better. We look forward to our next visit, and hope it's a little calmer then so my son can relax throughout the appointment.

My kids love Dr. Jackson! He is great and his staff is always helpful and friendly. I've never had a bad experience since my kids have been going to the Jonesboro office for the past two years.

I took my daughter here for her very first dental appointment. The staff are very understanding of toddlers and young children. My daughter is 2 and shes a handful. She didn't want to lean back in the chair and they just rolled with the punches and worked around how she wanted to sit. Miss Lee explained what she was doing with every new tool. I also love that they let parents go back with small children. I would HIGHLY reccomend taking young children to this office.

My 2 yr old fell and cracked his tooth on the concrete. They were able to work us in to their schedule on very short notice and were so polite and patient with me since I was still in full-blown mom guilt mode. They explained our options and what the prices would be to get him taken care of. They used gas on him when they extracted the tooth and he came out of the room with a balloon, two bouncy balls, and two stickers in hand with a giant snagglepuss smile on his face. When we went back in for a follow-up and cleaning they were great with him and he now asks daily if we get to go back to the "tooth fairy doctor". I highly recommend this practice.
