You want what is best for your child. We want to help your child have a healthy, confident smile for life. And your child’s experience means everything. We spend time getting to know each patient and their specific dental needs. From the moment you walk in the door, you become part of our dental family.
Let us help you and your child develop healthy habits for life and see why our patients love going to the dentist!
Our mission is to be known in our community as a secure dental home by providing continuous, comprehensive dental care to your infant, child, and adolescent in a clean, calm, & welcoming environment. Our goal is to protect little teeth and create smiles that last a lifetime.
Over time we hope to develop and nurture the relationship between patient and dentist, which ultimately builds trust and allays fear/anxiety.
We will offer you all treatment options and work with you to determine the best treatment plan with the most compassionate approach for your child.
My daughter had an accident Thursday evening that resulted in dental trauma, so I called Tallahassee Pediatric Dentistry the minute they opened the next morning, hoping they could squeeze her in.
The woman who answered was kind and genuinely helpful, and they were able to get us in that morning despite having a full schedule.
When we arrived, my daughter was nervous, but the front desk was warm and welcoming, and the assistant who took her X-rays was gentle and patient enough to help her feel comfortable.
Dr. Shawn Hanway was wonderful. She was compassionate, knowledgeable, steady, and reassuring, which meant so much as an anxious mom. She took her time explaining the injury, possible outcomes, and recovery in a way that was easy to understand.
I left feeling informed and reassured. I cannot thank Dr. Hanway and the Tallahassee Pediatric Dentistry team enough for taking such good care of my daughter.
We’ve been going to Tallahassee Pediatric Dentistry for years, and I can’t recommend them enough. Both of my daughters are patients here, and the entire team is incredible with kids. They’re patient, kind, and do a great job easing anxiety and making dental visits a positive experience.
The office is always clean, welcoming, and clearly designed with kids in mind. My girls genuinely love going to the dentist, which says everything. If you’re looking for a pediatric dentist who truly cares and creates a comfortable environment, this is the place.
