As a pediatric dentist, my goal is to create an everlasting impact, beyond oral healthcare, that positively influences the lives of our patients and their families all while not taking myself too seriously!
In building this practice, and with every interaction, I am striving to create an inviting and fun atmosphere for every little personality. I am driven to shape a positive memory and association with dentistry, so kids do not grow up feeling fearful about dentistry.
As a Little Rock native, I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Dental school was completed at the Texas A&M Health Science Center, Baylor College of Dentistry, in Dallas, Texas. My Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) was awarded in 2013.
Following my residency, I practiced in Texas and Arkansas, and in November 2020, I opened Tooth Squad Pediatric Dentistry in Centerton. In promoting healthy smiles and instilling the importance of oral hygiene, my team and I create a pediatric dental environment that children love.
I am a kid at heart and can easily relate to my patients. I enjoy creating a bond and watching them grow up within our office, turning into adults that will change the world. Kids have such great imaginations and joy for life: it is invigorating!
As a board certified pediatric dentist, I have completed training on the oral health of children, from infants through adolescents, as well as strategies and skills required to address the needs of those with special concerns.
The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems. My specialized training ensures I am able to care for children in a safe, positive, and encouraging manner.
One of the most exciting aspects of my specialty is the constant advancements that lead to new techniques, materials, and technologies. Through continuing education in-person meetings, webinars, recorded lectures, and publications I stay current on the latest innovations and emerging trends.
Outside of childrens smiles, I love all things related to aerospace, the cosmos, and space travel: when I grow up, I plan to be an astronaut! I am fascinated by all things related to Batman, too: I have a custom-made Batman suit and love to wear it and volunteer at events!
Personally and professionally, I have decided to dedicate time to volunteer efforts and love all that entails. Volunteering allows me to interact with and get to know people I would not normally meet, and gives me an added sense of purpose. At the same time, I am helping to boost happiness in others and having the ability to help people in need elevates all of us, making our community stronger.
I participate in Make-A-Wish, Pet Partners, and Global Dental Relief. The mission of the latter is to bring free dental care to children around the globe, including Nepal, India, Guatemala, Mexico, Kenya, and Cambodia.
Ours is an amazing office, where we all love to laugh and have a good time. Dr. Bradley is the best at connecting with kids, my coworkers are warm and friendly, and we all want the best for your children!
Born and raised in Bentonville, I graduated from Bentonville High and couldnt imagine leaving the area. My husband, who is originally from Arizona, and I have been married for over 20 years. We have two teenage sons and a black lab, so our home is always busy! Our whole family loves football (Go Tigers and Woo Pig Sooie!). When Im not attending football games, I love playing board games with my family. I may be a bit competitive, but only a bit!
I have worked with kids as long as I can remember from teaching Sunday school class to working in public schools. My passion is working with kids; I recently received my Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) license, so you may see me in clinic with Shonna and Cris. I am super excited to work at Tooth Squad with my amazing coworkers.
Welcome to Tooth Squad Pediatric Dentistry!My name is Shonna.Ive been in the dental field since 1998.I was granted with the opportunity of receiving on the job training to become a dental assistant by a wonderful office manager who is still a dear friend of mine to this day!
I love my days at Tooth Squad so much because I get to work alongside a team of great people who are also my friends. I have so much fun at work, that it isnt work but a good time! And oh the babies...loving my time taking care of these children! They are absolutely the best part of my days!!
As a mother of a young teenage daughter, I am always on my toes. I enjoy the outdoors, time on the water, and hanging out with friends and family. I love to travel and see new places, too. Most of all, I love having fun, whatever Im doing!
I am the newest addition to this great dental office, and come with almost 15 years of experience. I love that I get the chance of being silly and fun when it comes to working with kids, but I can also bring calmness and reassurance, especially when it comes to special health care needs kiddos. My biggest teacher and motivation is my son who is on the Autism Spectrum. He is currently 6 yearsold and has come a long way thanks to his therapists and teachers (and his momma bear too!). I also have 3other cubs, ages10 years, 5 years, and 11 months old; all who keep me on my toes but wouldn't want it any other way! By day I'm a dental assistant, and by night, I'm a perent just like any other, changing diapers, doing outside activities, lots of sleepless nights; you know all of that fun stuff that comes along with parenting!
Hi!My name is Colt, and my life is pretty great. When I am not fetching balls or trying to find birds, I work as a therapy dog. It's a fun jobbecause I get to help out hoomans who may be anxious or nervous. They are my favorite because they give the best belly rubs. Oh and, I love treats.
We aim to extinguish dental anxiety. We do this by introducing a positive experience catered to each childs developmental stage. This is reinforced by building a dynamic bond between our team, our patients, and their families, over years of outstanding dental care and service!
All of us are excited to welcome your young family members to our smile care family. Wed be honored to be your partners, helping your children grow up with bright and healthy smiles and excited to maintain their oral health, for a lifetime!
