Secondly, the treatment room is based on an open-bay concept, where everyone can see each other. One parent per patient can accompany their child back to the treatment room if they so desire. There are no hydraulic dental chairs which are common in an adult dental office. Instead, Dr. Moore uses cushioned benches that are stationary, with flat screen HD TVs mounted above the tip of each bench so that every patient can watch cable TV or the latest DVD movie. Be sure to look at the pictures featured in ourOffice Toursection on this website. After each dental visit, patients are given tokens and told to go buy something from our toy machine. Even some of our teenagers still ask for tokens so they can get a prize for being good! Our tokens and toy machine have been a huge hit for many years now.
It is important to also know that we work very hard to keep every part of our office clean and as germ-free as possible. We subscribe and follow the ADAs Infection Control Guidelines for a Dental Office, the CDCs Infection Control in the Dental Office Recommendations. We also follow the TOSHA and OSHA Guidelines for the health and safety of patients, parents, and staff.
Our office utilizes a computer-controlled digital x-ray system. This latest x-ray equipment reduces radiation up to 90% as compared to conventional x-ray equipment. Additionally, there are no more cardboard x-rays to bite on to obtain x-rays. For children, this is a huge plus since children no longer dread having x-rays made since there is no gagging caused by the traditional x-ray system. Moreover, we can detect decay or infection with a higher degree of accuracy at an earlier age than with conventional x-ray techniques.
Our staff is trained in the use of our laser cavity detector. Dark stains can mimic the appearance of a cavity. Our offices cavity detector helps Dr. Moore determine the difference between a dark stain and the beginning of a cavity. The cavity detector is another tool used in our office to provide your children with the best possible dental care available.
More recently, our office has transitioned to a chartless office, with all records, notes, and treatments recorded electronically on the computer. By being chartless, there is far less chance of accidental transmission of germs and viruses to staff or visitors in our office.

Dr. Moore is quite simply the best! As a former patient, I knew he was the only pediatric dentist to care for my kids from childhood into adolescence. His calm demeanor, great staff, and whimsical ocean office environment make my girls excited for every visit!

Love, love, love Dr Moore and his entire staff - our kids have been seeing him for nearly 18 years now. He is professional, has terrific bedside manner and always provides excellent care. Two of our four kids had to do braces, and not how beautifully straight teeth. Just can't say enough good things about him, thank you Dr Moore, Devon and team for being awesome!

I saw Dr. Moore my entire childhood and now take my daughter to see him as well. He is by far the best pediatric dentist in the MidSouth area! He is so patient and sweet-- he genuinely cares about each and every patient. He's very gentle and the atmosphere in his office is so cheerful and friendly! The hygienists are amazing and have always made my daughter feel comfortable as well. We love Dr. Moore!

Devin was helpful on the phone to schedule my son's first dental visit, and explained what to expect. She was just as nice in person as she was on the phone! The Hygentist, Jesse, was awesome too! She showed my son all of the tools she would use and explained them all to him. He really loved that part. Dr. Moore was so pleasant and told me more about what to expect at visits for the next few years and I liked that he takes the time to speak with the parents. A coworker referred Dr. Moore and if you are needing a first time dentist for your child I can't imagine that there is a better place in the area!

We have lived in two different states and Dr. Moore is by far the best pediatric dentist we have encountered. He really knows how to make a child feel special and my two boys like him so much that they ask to go to the dentist. He and his staff are really nice people!
