Pediatric Dentist in Chattanooga, TN

Welcome to Children’s Dentistry of Chattanooga, where every child's smile is celebrated from the very first visit. Our mission is simple: to create unforgettable, enjoyable experiences that nurture healthy smiles for life. We combine board‑certified pediatric expertise with a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere, ensuring that children feel safe, respected, and excited about their dental care.
Step inside our discovery‑style clinic and watch your child’s curiosity come alive. A climbing tree, a saltwater aquarium, and a model train track turn routine appointments into exciting adventures. The décor is designed to reduce anxiety and build confidence, allowing families to focus on the positive aspects of preventive dental health.
Our team is led by Board‑Certified Pediatric Dentist Dr. Clay P. Goins, who has earned national recognition for gentle, child‑centric care. Combined with highly trained hygienists, dental assistants, and a supportive front desk, we deliver care that is both clinically exceptional and emotionally comforting. Each member shares a passion for creating lasting smiles.
We practice a ‘Tell‑Show‑Do’ method that demystifies every tool and procedure. From gentle cleanings to more advanced interventions, each step is explained in child‑friendly language and demonstrated with interactive models. This transparency empowers children to take ownership of their oral health while parents can trust that their child receives the highest standard of care.
Children’s Dentistry of Chattanooga serves the Greater Chattanooga Area, including East Brainerd, Ooltewah, Ringgold, Hixson, and beyond. Our commitment to community health is reflected in ongoing educational outreach, flexible scheduling, and a virtual payment platform that simplifies visits. Families leave with healthier teeth, a stronger smile, and a lifelong partner in oral wellness.
Our integrated care model means that when a child visits for a routine checkup, preventive measures such as sealants, fluoride varnish, and oral hygiene education are immediately applied. For those requiring extra support—whether it’s a frenectomy, sedation, or special‑needs accommodations—we tailor each treatment plan to individual needs, ensuring safety and comfort without compromising quality.
The results speak for themselves: families report reduced anxiety, fewer dental visits in emergency settings, and improved long‑term oral health. Our patients consistently achieve higher oral hygiene scores and experience less pain during procedures. By building trust from day one, we give parents peace of mind while encouraging their children to embrace dental care as a fun, empowering part of their daily routine.
