COVID-19 Update From TigerTown Family Dentistry
Dear Tigertown Family Dentistry Patient:
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it's both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about some of the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies' recommendations.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
Prior to your appointment, we ask that you take a look at these COVID-19 screening questions. You'll be asked these same questions again when you arrive at our office.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we are taking to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 334-737-6261.
Sincerely,

We welcome children of all ages!
Creating a dental health routine and teaching good oral hygiene habits early can help your child keep their smile healthy for a lifetime.
Your Child's First Visit to the Dentist
A positive first dental experience is a MUST in our office – we will teach both you and your child how to make brushing and healthy eating habits easy and fun!
We have found that young children (pre-school and elementary age) are most comfortable seeing us in the morning; the dental environment is a much more interesting adventure after a good night’s rest!
Dr. Simmons and Dr. Reynolds have had considerable experience in children's dental care, and are happy to answer any questions you may have about thumb sucking, snoring, pacifiers, bedtime bottles, sportsguards, or crowded or missing teeth.
Preventative Care
We recommend that children been seen at least twice yearly for routine examination, necessary digital xrays and cleanings. We may also recommend fluoride treatments or dental sealants to help prevent tooth decay.
In some cases, if your child is anxious about coming to the dentist or has extensive needs, we may recommend a children's dental specialist, a Pediatric Dentist, to achieve the best possible experience for your child.
If you have questions about your child's dental health, please do not hesitate to Contact Us. We would be glad to help!
