Comprehensive Care

Pediatric Dental Services in Nashville

Preventive Dentistry

Help protect your child’s teeth with regular exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, dental sealants, remineralization treatments, and preventive guidance. We focus on catching concerns early and helping children build healthy dental habits that can last for years.

RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

When cavities, tooth damage, or infection affect your child’s smile, restorative dentistry can help bring back comfort and function. We offer kid-friendly treatments such as tooth-colored fillings, white zirconia crowns, pulpotomies, and extractions based on your child’s individual needs.

Sedation Options

Dental anxiety, sensitivity, or difficulty sitting still can make treatment challenging for some children. Our pediatric sedation options are tailored to your child’s needs to help them remain calm and comfortable while receiving necessary dental care.

Special Needs Care

Every child deserves dental care that respects their individual comfort, communication, and sensory needs. Our team provides patient, personalized pediatric dental care for children with special healthcare needs, including children on the autism spectrum.

Infant Oral Health

Early dental visits give parents the opportunity to ask questions, monitor development, and build healthy habits from the beginning. We provide gentle infant oral health care and positive first visits designed to help young children become comfortable with the dentist.

Lip & Tongue Tie Releases

Dr. Barnes provides specialized care for infants and children with restrictive lip and tongue ties. Using advanced laser technology, treatment can address restrictions that may affect feeding, oral function, and development.

Why Parents Trust Up Pediatric Dentistry

Dana H.

Dr Barnes and her staff are trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Excellent bed side manner. I’m am so glad we came back to Up Dentistry.

Stefanie W.

Dr Barnes and her staff are exceptional! My son had several things done in one day, from preventative care to extractions needed for orthodontic. They took their time with him, treated him like their own and made it very easy on the both of us. They are exactly what you want and need for your children’s dental needs. I’ve been in dentistry for 20 years, her offices are the best around!! Thank you Dr Barnes and all the sweet ladies with her.

Jessica S.

Up Pediatric Dentistry is a charming and welcoming office designed to make kids feel at ease. Dr. Barnes and her friendly staff create a warm, inviting environment that helps take the stress out of dental visits. Both my son and daughter absolutely loved her and felt so comfortable throughout their visit. She is kind, patient, and incredibly skilled, providing quick and compassionate care when children need it most.

Taylor L.

Taking your child this dentist will feel more like taking your child to your sisters. Dr. Barnes spent so much time with us both on the phone and in person to ensure my comfort level and my child’s. Though the clinic was busy with several other families, I’d never have known based on the time, attention to detail and kindness she showed us. 11/10 recommend to as many families as possible!
