Building a foundation for bright and beautiful smiles
At Knox Tot Pediatric Dentistry, we believe prevention is the secret to healthy smiles. As your Knoxville preventive dentist for kids and teens, we make regular checkups and cleanings simple and effective, helping to protect your child’s smile from cavities and future dental issues.
We’re here to give your family all the tips and tricks for great oral health. With a full range of preventive services, we help smiles stay big, bright, and strong. Catching small problems early means healthier smiles and fewer worries for the future.
Convenient care for busy families
Between juggling after-school pickups, homework, and soccer practice, the last thing you need is one more chore. Our office sits just steps away from Farragut Intermediate, Middle, and High School—so your child can pop in for a quick check-up or same-day appointment without turning your day upside down.

More Preventive Services
Ask Away!
When should my baby first visit the dentist?
We recommend bringing your baby in for their first visit around their first birthday or when that first tooth pops in — whichever comes first.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
To keep those smiles healthy, we suggest a checkup and cleaning twice a year — about every 6 months. For those in braces, we may recommend more frequent cleanings to help promote great outcomes.
What kind of toothpaste should I use?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists recommends using: a smear of fluoridated toothpaste for children under 3 years, and a pea-sized amount for those 3-5 years, brushing twice daily with parental supervision. Once children are able to spit, they should be encouraged to do so after brushing.
What foods should I avoid giving my child?
Sugary drinks and snacks are the biggest culprits when it comes to cavities. Sticky candies and starchy foods like cookies and crackers can also be harmful to your child's teeth.
Is preventive care covered by insurance?
Great news! Most insurance plans cover 100% of preventive care. Since plans can vary, give us a call and we’ll help you figure out the details of your coverage.
