Why Choose a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists complete specialized training beyond dental school to care for infants, children and adolescents. This training includes children’s dental growth and development, behavior guidance and the treatment of dental conditions that commonly affect young patients.
​
Dr. Gia S. Grannum is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Her experience allows her to evaluate more than an individual tooth. She considers how your child’s teeth, bite, jaws, oral habits and development may affect their present and future health.
​
For Duluth parents, choosing a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist provides the reassurance of care designed specifically around children—not adult dentistry adapted for smaller patients.

Supporting Children's Oral Health Near Duluth, GA
Dental emergencies can be frightening for both children and parents, especially when an injury or toothache happens unexpectedly. If your child experiences a broken or knocked-out tooth, dental injury, swelling or significant tooth pain, contact our office promptly. Our team can help you determine the appropriate next step and provide gentle care focused on relieving discomfort and protecting your child’s smile.
A child’s oral health can be connected to the development and function of the teeth, jaws and surrounding oral structures. Agape offers additional services for families with concerns involving oral development, including:

Gentle Dental Care for Nervous Children
It is normal for children to feel uncertain about visiting the dentist, especially when the experience is new. Some children need additional time, preparation or reassurance before they feel ready to participate in an examination or treatment.
​
Our team uses age-appropriate language and a patient, positive approach to help children understand what is happening. We never expect every child to respond in the same way. Instead, we meet children where they are and work gradually to build trust.
​
For children who would benefit from becoming familiar with our office before a complete appointment, we also offer Comfort Visits. These visits allow children to meet the team, explore the environment and experience the dental chair without the pressure of completing treatment.
Early dental visits help parents receive guidance before problems develop. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends establishing a dental home by a child’s first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing.
​
During your baby’s first visit, we can discuss:
-
Brushing new baby teeth
-
Age-appropriate toothpaste and fluoride
-
Feeding and nutrition
-
Teething
-
Pacifier and thumb-sucking habits
-
Cavity prevention
-
What to expect as additional teeth appear
​
Our goal is to make this early experience comfortable for your baby while giving you practical information you can use at home.
