"I love bringing my kids to the happiest dentist in the world. My daughter's teeth are looking so unbelievable (in her braces) in such a short time. There is nowhere else I would ever take my kids. Thank you to Dr. Jon Jackson, Shawn Jackson and the most amazing staff. You guys all rock!"

See What Our Patients Say About Us!

"We love Pediatric Dental Specialists of Atlanta! We’ve been coming to Pediatric Dental Specialists of Atlanta since our 8 year old twins were toddlers. Dr. Jackson and the entire staff have always been patient, caring, and incredibly personable with our family. They called and spoke with us on several occasions prior to our children’s cleaning last month. The team took their time to answer all of our covid related questions and help us understand exactly what precautions they were taking to protect our kids and themselves. Knowing that they probably answer these questions MULTIPLE times a day, I expected a standard robotic response. However, the team at Pediatric Dental Specialists of Atlanta explained every detail and took their time to ensure we felt comfortable bringing our children in for their cleaning. I have always and will continue to give this practice my highest recommendation!"

"We’ve always felt like we got personalized attention during visits, but having the whole place to ourselves this summer took that to another level. I’m so grateful for the updates and extra precautions you all have put in place so I could send my kiddos without a moment’s hesitation. You followed your outlined procedures detail by detail; I was so impressed! Bravo, PDSofA! We love you guys!"

"We just had our son’s first dental checkup, and it was such an amazing experience. I know things are different now with covid, but we were so comfortable sending our 3 year old to his first visit here. Dr. Jackson and his wife are so nice. Communication via phone or email was very clear and easy to understand. I’m very glad we made this decision to take our child here! Thanks again! We really appreciate the positive energy from everyone!"

"Shawn & Dr. Jackson- Y’all have been incredible. You’ve kept us all up to date with your dedication to safety while seeing our kids as well. I still cannot believe that my little one, just 2.5 years old, walked in with his brother and had the very best time getting his teeth cleaned! Such a testament to the kindness your office demonstrates! Thank you for all that you are doing!"

"We have been very strict during this pandemic/quarantine time, and I have really not taken my kids anywhere. I knew they needed to come in to see you guys, and this was really the first place they had been. Shawn really put my mind at ease about all of the safety measures you guys were taking, and it really meant a lot to me when you were able to work my daughter in for a chipped tooth almost-emergency (that ended up being fine and was NOT an emergency!). I think you guys have done a phenomenal job, and I appreciate all of the time you've been willing to spend reassuring this nervous mother about how safe things are in your office. And I have told EVERYONE about how great you guys have been!"

"My boys came in for cleaning this summer and even being covid it was a great safe experience. Your staff made them feel comfortable and I felt comfortable sending them inside. Dr. Jackson called right away after the appointment to follow up. You guys are amazing!"

"Thanks for serving our children's needs over the years. We have had a dental appointment since COVID 19 and the process for dropping off my children was simple. We so appreciate your entire practice."

"You guys were there over when our little one fell and lost a baby tooth and again for a follow up a month later. You helped calm all of our concerns. When a toddler old takes a spill over a holiday weekend, and during these times, Dr. Jackson responded very quickly and continued to check in until we could get in after the weekend. The follow-up a month later with consultation with a specialist also made us feel better for his first big accident. More than anything, letting us know that these things happen and we did the right thing as fast as possible made us feel as much better as we could!
Thank You!!"

"I loved that our daughter could be screened outside, not be around other patients, and quickly complete our appointment this past summer!"

"Hands down the best dentist/practice in Atlanta!!! You guys are so kind, caring and accommodating! Thanks for all you are doing to keep us safe!"

"Every experience I’ve had with your team has been positive! In particular I remember the first time we had an appointment. While my child talked the ear off of the woman cleaning her teeth, she loved the occasion so much that she begged to return the next day! You guys do a great job and we appreciate it."

"My daughter happened to be 9 months into her braces when shelter-in-place started. Dr. Jackson and Shawn reached out quickly to check on her and her braces. When we had a loose wire, they explained in detail over the phone how to take care of it at home. It was so nice that they were thinking of all of their patients during this time! When it was time for us to visit the office in person again, I was very happy with the safety protocols in place. The pre-screening questions, temperature check, masks and PPE, pick-up and drop-off all outside assured me that both of my daughters were safe in their care. We love Pediatric Dental Specialists of Atlanta because it is a family-run business. We feel like an extension of their family, not just a customer or patient!"

"I brought my children in for their cleanings in May, right after you re-opened your doors, and I can't say enough about how great the experience was. I waited in my car and Shawn met them at the car and then brought them back. Shawn has been so patient on the phone, scheduling and re-scheduling appointments and always super cheerful. Such a pleasure coming to the practice and dealing with everyone! Thank you!"

"I want to spread some positivity and thanks. We came to your office the DAY you re-opened as we had some concerns about my child’s tooth pain. Dr. Jackson willingly examined both my children and I felt very safe with all of the thorough safety protocols. The boys went into his office without me, a huge sign of their trust too. Much love from our family."

"We had the best experience with Pediatric Dental Specialists of Atlanta this summer! Dr. Jackson and his staff did all they could to ensure the safety of my kids. I was pleased that my three kids were the only kids in the office, which had been cleaned prior to their arrival. Someone arrived in full PPE at my car to take each kid’s temperature and screen them for any possible covid symptoms. She then took them in (and I “sadly” couldn’t go in, i.e. I had 45 minutes to myself J !) Once they were done, I got a call from Shawn. She walked me through anything I needed to know, and took my payment over the phone. Then she put Dr. Jackson on the phone, who told me all about my kids’ current situations including next steps. In this time of uncertainty, I felt very safe taking my kids to their very important routine dental appointments."

"It’s always a pleasure to bring my kids in for their dental care visits. You all are so friendly and so accommodating with appointments for my 3 girls. We love your practice!"

"We always appreciate your upbeat greeting when we arrive and your attention to care and detail! Despite the closing of the waiting room Shawn still came out and greeted us outside the building and sat on the bench with us which eased my daughters anxieties as COVID shutdowns had only been in place for a couple of months. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps us coming back. Dr. Jackson was even able to give me a personal update on her teeth after the appt. This team really cares! It’s worth the drive from Decatur!"

"We are so thankful to have found our way to Pediatric Dental Specialists of Atlanta. My daughter has had a LOT of changes in her life recently....moving cities, changing schools, leaving the only dentist she has very known. She was very apprehensive when I told her she would be seeing a new dentist but it didn't take her long to warm up to your amazing staff. Thank you very much for being so sincerely interested in making her feel comfortable and for giving her such a warm welcome. She is so happy and consequently so are her parents. There is no greater joy than to see your child peaceful and happy. Thank you Pediatric Dental Specialists of Atlanta!!!"

"Your practice is amazing. We all have a choice of where we can go and our family passes by some other options on the way to your office, but love coming to you :) Shawn is always a step ahead of the schedule, your staff loves on my girls as if they were their own family, and you take great care and attention to their teeth! I could not imagine my girls going anywhere else."

"Dr. Jackson, Shawn and Staff. We have three daughters that went through the entire pediatric dental phase of their lives and are now heading off to college. Unfortunately two of three have aged out of Pediatric Dental Specialists of Atlanta. It was an excellent personal relationship with the entire dental specialist team over many years of checkups, emergencies, and dental cleanings and of course those fun cavity sessions! Our girls always felt comfortable going back with the staff (without mom and dad in tow) and enjoyed looking up at the ceiling and seeing fun colorful (distracting) artwork. Dr. Jackson had a way of keeping the kids calm and knowledgeable about what he was doing with their dental care in the office and what they should continue to do at home! Thank you for the many years of service... we will be sad in two years when we are no longer visiting all of the smiling faces of your team!"

"My girls love coming to the dentist because of how kind all of you are. When they come out to the car, they all said that it was good. They really like Dr. Jon and his crew! Thank you for all that you do in making their experience so positive and caring about our well-being."
