Dr. Kennedy is a pediatric dentist who specializes in the oral health and development of children and teens. Pediatric dentists are a selective group of dentists who have received extra, extensive training in growing healthy smiles. This doesnt mean that only certain patients require the services of a pediatric dentist, but rather that only a pediatric dentist can apply a truly expert level of knowledge and care to a developing smile.
Clinical excellence for pediatric dentists involves recommending the best time when dental treatment is recommended, what treatment should be performed, and how the treatment should be accomplished. Performing dental treatment on children too soon or too late, using less effective or outdated techniques, and neglecting the childs overall experience can lead to a lot of frustration, anxiety, increased costs, and unfortunately repeated or more invasive procedures later.
In pediatric dentistry, compassion means sharing the dental experience with our families to ensure that the care delivered is the very best we can offer. This includes never guilt-shaming parents whose children are experiencing oral health difficulties but also striving to offer easy solutions whenever possible. We believe in a family atmosphere where every child is treated like a member of our own family.
Our definition of integrity is consistency in values and actions. We are committed to applying this principle of integrity to our clinical and business practices. This means we never recommend any treatment when its not necessary for the well being of your child. Integrity also means we demonstrate consistency in our billing practices and communications. It is always our effort to provide you with a thorough understanding of your dental benefits and help you understand why certain out of pocket costs may exist.
We strive to make our small place in this big world better everyday through kindness to our families. From the first phone call to the explanation of dental benefits, we are committed to maintaining a kind demeanor to make the overall dental experience as positive as possible for your family.
We cut no corners and shorten no steps to make sure our practice facility is above your expectation of cleanliness. Ask to take a tour through our sterilization center to learn how we go above and beyond standard practices of sterilization to make sure our instruments and materials are safe and clean for your child at every visit.
It is always our effort to be cost-conscious in our treatment recommendations and oral health initiatives. This doesnt mean we will always recommend the cheapest procedure available, but we will recommend the procedure that will provide the most value for your child with the hope of minimizing your investment in baby teeth as much as possible. Sometimes this may mean an early intervention to avoid increased costs later and sometimes this may mean delayed intervention in hopes to avoid costs altogether. Dr. Kennedy has the experience necessary to consider all factors when recommending treatment and providing options for your child.
A fundamental aspect of our practice is being actively involved in our community. This ensures the the highest quality of clinical care for our patients as we understand the privilege and responsibility of caring for our neighbors and friends. We are fully invested in Clarksville and embrace the high expectations that come with being your familys pediatric dental provider.

My 6 and almost 2 year old were in and out in less than 15 minutes! The staff was very nice and made them feel comfortable.

We brought our 2 sons here for the first time today and had a great experience. When you walk in the staff greets you with a smile and the lobby is clean with such cute decor! The dental hygienists were so kind and patient and made both of our children feel at ease. Dr. Kennedy was was super nice, thorough and knowledgeable. We are so happy we switched to this practice and one of our sons even said he had so much fun he can't wait to go back! Thank you so much for a pleasant experience!

We love Dr. Kennedy and his staff. I have 3 kids - and they are able to get them seen at the same time getting us in and out in under 45 minutes usually (most of the time its quicker than that). The staff is always pleasant, and the kids love that there are TVs that they can watch to distract them. Great office, great location, and great pediatric dentist!!

My kids love coming here for their dental care! I always appreciate that we are seen right at our appointment time. Dr Kennedy and his staff are professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. We will always recommend this office to anyone in search of a pediatric dentist.

We were told that my son should be seen by an 'adult provider' after I refused x-rays because he gets mouth sores from them. Staff was kind and attentive. Kennedy himself was the one who shooed us out of his practice. If you want to be in charge of the care you're receiving, this is not the place you want to be seen. He enjoys herding cattle. He assumed the mouth sores were due to a sensitive mouth and commented on how he can still eat and chew. Passive aggressive much? Someone should let him know that people are not all the same. My son is sensitive to radiation and experiences detrimental effects(mouth sores, etc.). It impacts him worse than most. He also suggested that we all be seen together, so my daughter should leave his practice as well (I didn't object to x-rays for her). Had this dentist not jumped to conclusions, he may have had less to say and more clients. Best of luck!

Highly recommend this dentistry. I've taken both of my children there for their visit dental appointments and will continue to. From the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist, it's a great place for children. They don't make you wait long at all to be seen. They can book siblings back to back so it saves on travel time. Will always recommend to anyone needing a pediatric dentistry!

Dr. Kennedy and his staff hosted a warm and welcoming environment from my daughters one year old visit to her 18 month visit. The area is clean and they were timely. If I could give more than five stars I would!!! We drive from Nashville to Clarksville and it is worth it every time!!! This is an excellent establishment!
