WHY VISIT A PEDIATRIC DENTIST?  (return to top)

To be a “PEDIATRIC DENTIST”, the dentist must have completed 6 to 7 years of training, which includes 4 years of dental school plus an additional 2 to 3 years of rigorous residency training in the specialty of pediatric dentistry. PEDIATRIC DENTISTS learn special techniques to address the unique needs of children, including dental trauma and infections, and have extensive formal training in how to keep children as comfortable as possible during any treatment.

In contrast, GENERAL DENTISTS, including those who limit their practice to children or who practice as family dentists, completed 4 years of dental school training before starting their dental practice.

To learn more about the specialty of PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY and to find a PEDIATRIC DENTIST near you, visit the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s website: http://www.aapd.org/finddentist/

  

WHY VISIT DR. JENNY JACKSON?  (return to top)

Dr. Jackson has specialized training. She graduated second in her class from Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Jackson then specialized in Pediatric Dentistry by completing a 3–year residency at UNC School of Dentistry and UNC Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill. While at UNC, she also obtained a Masters Degree in Public Health.

Parents are welcome in the back. You are welcome to accompany your child during treatment. This allows Dr. Jackson to show you how she is providing the best care for your child. It also provides an opportunity for Dr. Jackson to explain how you can take an active role between visits to ensure the dental health of your child.

Our office has a rainforest theme. Friendly tree frogs, lemurs, leopards, parrots, chimpanzees, turtles, gorillas, butterflies, boa constrictors, spider monkeys, sloths, dragonflies, gibbons, toucans, orangutans, hummingbirds, and alligators live in and around our rainforest waterfall and jungle trees.

Our office is designed with your child’s comfort in mind. Your child can watch a movie on an overhead, flat screen television during treatment. We can even take x-rays without putting anything in the back of your child’s mouth.

***"Thanks to all who helped Amira with her first visit to the dentist this morning! The entire experience was a pleasure, from the people to the atmosphere to the decor. I look forward to bringing in Victoria for her first visit one day! - Christine Hartman"

***“As a parent, I was very impressed with Dr. Jackson and her staff.  They are professional, as well as warm and caring.  Dr. Jackson knows how to create a non-threatening environment that welcomes children, no matter how young, gently setting them at ease.  My children can’t wait to go back for another visit!” -Zoie Leah

***“Truly child-friendly! This is our 3rd dental office and we’re here to stay. We had tried another pediatric dental office in Asheville, but it didn’t suit our needs. We were thrilled to find Dr. Jackson. Our daughter now looks forward to visiting the dentist. What a change! What a pleasure! Dr. Jackson and her staff give both patients and parents positive, effective service. Thank you!” -L.R.

***"Our girls started out roughly introduced into the dental community in a pediatric dentist's practice that was shockingly unkind to three year old little girls. Then we were fortunate to be told about the pediatric dental program at UNC where we were introduced to Dr Jackson, our hero in a white coat. She made all the difference in our girls' dentist experience. In fact, so much so, that on a regular basis our home is turned into a dentist's office where our girls take turns pretending to be their favorite dentist - Dr Jenny Jackson - and care for their baby dolls' dental needs with loving attention. We are so grateful for Dr Jackson's gentle care of our girls' needs. Thank you Dr Jackson!" -Melissa Shahan

***"Mi nombre es Doris y quiero decirles que ante todo la doctora Jenny Jackson es una buena persona que tiene mucha paciencia para tratar a los niños que son pequeños y por su corta edad son muy inquietos. Estoy muy agradecida con la doctora por haber atendido a mi niño. Mil gracias de todo corazon." -Doris Manzano

***"Since early 2003, Dr. Jenny Jackson has worked with my daughter, Autumn. Dr. Jackson has done a great job with Autumn. At age 2 Autumn had a root canal done by another dentist. It was a bad experience. Afterwards she was terrified of the dentist, just the word would upset her. She couldn't open or stop crying when at a dentist's office. Since Dr. Jackson has cared for Autumn, thanks to the patient and kind ways that Dr. Jackson has, Autumn relaxed and gained her trust back. Now she looks forward to her dental check-ups which are good, and she has learned how to care for her teeth. Dr. Jackson is very good with children and a fine dentist. Thank you Dr. Jackson!" -Vivian and Autumn Clark

***“We have been so impressed with the staff at Asheville Pediatric Dentistry. They are so patient and kind and really worked well with my son. I’m so glad we were referred here and will be coming for a long time.” R.J.

***“My child Laraib has been visiting Asheville Pediatric Dentistry for over a year. All the staff is awesome and friendly and helpful and the office is very clean. Dr. Jackson is a superb pediatric dentist, loving and very kind to my child. My daughter was the hardest child at first, but Dr. Jackson took such good care of her that now my daughter says she wants to be a pediatric dentist like Dr. Jackson when she grows up. We love you!” Ruby

***“Dr. Jackson and her staff have made my girls trips to the dentist great! They take the time to explain all they are going to do so there is no fear! I love that parents are allowed in with your child; it really makes it more comfortable for everyone. We love coming to this practice and we tell everyone we know to come here, too.” K. Bish
