Our warm, caring and attentive dental team provides a wide range of childrens dental treatments to ensure that your child will develop and maintain beautiful, healthy teeth. With proper instruction and regular six-month cleanings and examinations, we can not only help to prevent cavities in the future, but also teach your child good habits that will last them a lifetime!

Parents can be as involved as they would like to be.Although Dr. Garza encourages self independence to help promote growth and development, we do have an open door policy for parents to come back. Our purpose is to gain your childs trust and overcome any anxiety and apprehension.

  • Low Dose Digital Dental X-rays:We use digital xrays, which use 90% less radiation than traditional xrays, to provide an instantaneous image to quickly diagnose hidden problems that are not evident otherwise.
  • Cosmetic tooth-colored Fillings and Resins:We utilize more esthetic, tooth-like materials (composite resin) that are safe, predictable and will bond to tooth structure. They look and react more like natural teeth.
  • Our pediatric dentist is experienced in treating children with special needs and medically compromised patients. We deliver care safely, compassionately and with the most fun possible. Our pediatric dental team members are trained to to meet your childs special needs and ensure that they grow up with healthy and beautiful smiles.

    Minimal sedation is a safe and effective technique used to relax and reduce anxiety during dental procedures. Children are drowsy but still conscious and responsive to verbal commands. Minimal sedation is indicated for children who experience higher levels of anxiety. In addition, sedation is also recommended for children who are very young or who have special needs and are unable to cooperate for dental treatment.

    We designed our office with you and your childs comfort in mind. We have games for the kids, and quieter, more relaxing areas for the adults. If your child is afraid or nervous about visiting the Dentist, ask us about our happy visits. This is where we introduce them to our office without dental work being done, so that they become more comfortable. Some of our amenities include:

    Do you need a childrens dentist in the Marietta/East Cobb/Sandy Springs/Roswell area that can see your child in an emergency?

We know that a dental emergency for your child can be frightening, and we want to do all that we can to help.

    Hello, my name is Beth Phillips, and Im the insurance coordinator at Floss Dentistry. I have been part of the Floss family since 2015, and I am available to help you and your family with all insurance questions and concerns. I am originally from Augusta, Georgia and have worked in general and pediatric dentistry for over fifteen years. After obtaining my Bachelors in Communications from the University of Maryland, I worked as a marketing manager in the financial industry. I have been a group exercise instructor since 1994 and consider fitness an important part of my life. Prior to obtaining my bachelors, I received my associates degree in dental assisting, which is where I initially grew to love the dental field. I have been happily married since 2014, and we have a beautiful son, Cole, who was born in 2015. Our family finds great joy in the outdoors and spending time traveling and staying active. I love the balance of my wonderful personal life alongside my career with Floss. I am always here to help make your visits with us a positive and enjoyable experience!

    Hi! Im Amber, a dental hygienist at Floss. I graduated from Lanier Technical College in 2006 and began my career as a dental hygienist in general dentistry. I realized, early on, that my greatest enjoyment was interacting with the younger patients. In 2010, I had an opportunity to transition into pediatric dentistry, with Dr. Garza, and I havent looked back!

    My goal is to provide an enjoyable experience and help patients develop good oral hygiene habits at a young age. Making dentistry fun is what I do ! One of my greatest satisfactions comes from watching a patient leave the dental chair with a smile, excited for their next visit. I take pride in being a part of the Floss team and creating a fun environment with my co-workers but, more importantly, creating a positive experience for our patients and families.

    Hello! My name is Holly! I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene from Georgia Highlands College. My husband and I have three fur children: two dogs, Oliver and Pearl, and a cat, Ashanti. In my spare time, I enjoy yoga, dance, and being outdoors. I began working in a general practice but fell in love with pediatric dentistry after coming to Floss. I sincerely look forward to welcoming new patients and providing them with a fun experience and excellent care!

    Hello, Im Kim, Lead Dental Assistant at Floss. I have been a dental assistant for 22 years and have worked in all areas of dentistry.

In my spare time, I love to run half marathons with fun themes. Walt Disney World has some of the best! I enjoy reading (anything), and traveling, preferably on a cruise. I have been married to Frank for almost as long as I have been assisting, and we have a grown daughter and two rescued German Shepherds.

    Hi! Im Mandy. Im a dental assistant at Floss. Ive been working in the dental field for 15 years, and I love what I do.

    In July my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia and we had to get her braces removed early at the CHOA , we were under contract with a balance of about $2,000 , we called to cancel her appointments , we never asked for any credit and had planned to pay off the balance, they called us 3 days later and said they canceled the entire balance and someone from the office showed up at CHOA with a gift , they showed us lots of LOVE when is was needed, thank you.

    Amazing staff, such a warm, welcoming place for a child, my kid does not like going to the doctors office, but after the experience with Dr. Carlos and the staff at floss all she is talking about now is the amazing dentist office with the cool movie room and all the TOYS to play with!!

    We were seen quickly, and everyone was very friendly. The hygienist and dentist made sure that my child was comfortable and felt secure (first dentist appointment), and took the time to answer all of my questions. Thanks!

    This is the only dental office I trust to treat my autistic son. They go out of their way to make him feel comfortable and not fear his dental visit.
