WELCOME!

What is a Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists specialize in dentistry that is devoted exclusively to children. Pediatric dentistry requires additional years of training in a pediatric residency beyond general dentistry.
Pediatric dentists are trained specifically in growth and development, child psychology, medical complications, and treatment of children with special needs.
Patient Comfort
Our number one priority is our patient's comfort and well being. We are committed to treating every child in the most caring, gentle way and to provide exceptional dental care in a friendly and pleasant environment.

To my patients and their families:
After closing my practice in 2020, I made it a priority to find a dentist to whom I can can comfortably refer you, one who shares my patient care and treatment philosophy.
I'm very pleased to announce that Dr. Jyoti Sharma of Smiles for Kids Dentistry will expanding her pediatric practice to the office where I treated patients for 45 years.
Please read below about Dr. Sharma's background and experience treating children, and look for her to open a COVID-safe office on Snapfinger Woods Dr. in February.
Dr. Paul Glasser
A Dentist Who Loves to Take Care of Children!
Dr. Sharma has always had a special way with children. So it’s no surprise that, when she decided to pursue a career in dentistry, she was drawn to serving younger patients.
After completing her Bachelor of Dental Surgery in India, Dr. Sharma moved to Boston, USA to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Boston University. She continued her dental training at a General Practice Residency in New York. Dr. Sharma continued her love for children by working at a children-focused dental practice in Atlanta for 1 year. After that, she proceeded to the pediatric dentistry residency program at Boston University. This training encompassed growth & development, child philosophy & behavior management, sedation, hospital dentistry, treatment of traumatic injuries, treating children with special needs, and other specialized areas unique to younger children and adolescents. She founded Smiles For Kids, Pediatric Dentistry. In 2017,she went back to earn her post graduated education in field of Orthodontics. Amalgamation of two specialties, enables her to help her patients sooner than a traditional orthodontist and monitor their growth and development.
She found the perfect balance in dental care, where she helps kids maintain good oral health and improve the look of their smiles.
Today, Dr. Sharma is proud to bring exceptional pediatric dentistry to the suburbs of Georgia. At her practices, she and her “dream team” serve children, ranging from infants to adolescents, with a range of preventative and restorative dental care.
And of course, true to her roots, she enjoys tutoring—or educating—children and parents on good oral health!
Family Life
When she’s not in the office, Dr. Sharma enjoys spending time with her husband, and their three children in their friendly neighborhood.
The family enjoys attending the kids’ sporting events, getting involved with their schools and arts and crafts activities with other children.
Credentials and Accreditations
Dr. Sharma earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and her pediatric dentistry residency from Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Boston University.
After a decade of practicing as pediatric dentistry, Dr. Sharma completed her orthodontic residency at Georgia School of Orthodontics.
