Going to the dentist should be easy for kids… and for their parents.
A trip to the dentist should never be stressful or scary for kids. We want your child to enjoy the dentist and ask to come back, even when they don’t have an appointment. Our team is warm and committed to keeping your kids’ teeth exceptionally clean. And, if anything needs to be fixed along the way, we take care of it gently and get it done right the first time.
We also believe that your child’s visit shouldn’t cause you stress, either. So, you’re always invited to join us for the appointment or take a few minutes for yourself at the coffee bar while we take care of your child. We promise to get your family in, freshen up those smiles, and get you back on your way.

Fantastic experience: The place was amazing and the staff were extremely patient and respectful . I drove two hours and was very tired but soon as I got there, it was some hot ready to make coffee. Highly recommended 10/10 .
Fantastic experience: Anastasia Kelly and Dr Adams were both amazing today. My daughter was kept comfortable and the service was excellent. Not to mention, the facilities are amazingly kid friendly with plenty of toys and fun activities to keep them occupied. They even have a playground!! Will certainly be back.
Fantastic experience: Today was my grandsons 1st dental appointment. My oldest has severe autism & is nonverbal. Jennifer was their hygienist & she was amazing!! She was SO patient & even took us to a private room where the door could be closed so he wouldn’t be overstimulated. She was SO kind & SO knowledgeable. Dr. Jones was equally as wonderful! I know my boys won’t dread going to the dentist now. Their entire staff that we encountered was so friendly. Their place was spotless & bright! The waiting room was made fun for the children. I would recommend them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the Best Pediatric Dental Office! We had such a wonderful experience at Shelby pediatric dentistry! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. The waiting area was bright, clean, and filled with fun toys, and books that kept my child entertained before the appointment. And my daughter was given the opportunity to choose a toy from a large supply after our visit.
Fantastic experience: My 3 youngest children have all gone to Shelby Pediatric and have always had great experiences. Scheduling is easy, the waiting room is geared for kids of all ages and the staff is top notch. Highly recommend SPD.

Fantastic experience: I usually don’t do reviews but this was the first time I took all four of my kids in at the same time and I appreciate everyone’s help for everything to go so smoothly. I had a difficult child at the end and the nurse was so sweet and very very very patient with all of my kids that she made the experience so much better. At the end of the day, my son Kayden ended up relaxing thanks to her patience and sweet choice of words so I really appreciate that. From the moment I came in and I addressed my concern to the front desk, I appriciate her too. Thank you all for the team work!

He is never scared to see the dentist because they take such great care of him and explain everything they are doing while cleaning his teeth. I have 4 kids have appointments today and it was only 45 for all of them start to finish, including picking out their prizes and rescheduling appointments. Amazing!

Fantastic experience: Shelby Pediatric Dentistry is fantastic! My son is 4 and had his first-ever appointment yesterday. He was very stressed about it, but everyone was patient and kind. No one made me feel like a failure when they found he had cavities. Instead, they gave me practical advice and suggestions to help improve his dental health. I HIGHLY recommend!!
Fantastic experience: LOVE this place for my kids. The amenities are super cool, like coffee for mom and a playhouse and playground for kids. Also stickers and a price tower to pick from afterwards. They’ve outdone themselves to make this a positive experience for kids. My kids are the loud protestors when it comes to the cleaning and dentist check, but they’ve never made me feel bad for it. They’re very patient with the kids.
Fantastic experience: My daughter has gone here for about 11 years & we absolutely LOVE it! Everyone there is so patient, kind & caring! The atmosphere is so welcoming & there’s hardly ever a wait & the rare occasion there is, it’s only a few minutes before being called right back! They are very knowledgeable & make sure you know exactly what’s going on with your kiddo’s teeth! I highly recommend Shelby Pediatric Dentistry in Pelham!!!
Fantastic experience: We had a stellar experience with Dr. Trego and her assistant. My daughter was initially anxious at her visit, but they were so patient with her. The explained everything to her in a way she could understand which made her feel comfortable enough for them to work. Thank you guys for giving her a chance to show that she could get dental work done during her office visit and for giving me dental plan options.
Positive experience: I have went back and forth on leaving this review and finally decided today that the office needs to be made aware of the situation. I've brought my son for every dentist appointment he's ever had here. He's always had really good visits. I never even considered going elsewhere until this most recent visit. The Dental assistant we got was treating my son poorly. It started with the X-ray. She would go to put the spacer in his mouth without any heads up or communication and then get mad and confused when he would gag. I've never seen anyone more oblivious on how to work with children. It honestly got worse from there. She just kept being snippy with him despite his really chill behavior. It's almost like she wanted him to have some weirdly advanced dental experience and just KNOW exactly what to do and when. I've decided not to include her name but I did make a mental note of it because if we do return I will have to request she does not work with him. It's my belief she shouldn't be working with kids at all. Everyone else there seems to understand that you need a gentle spirit to work with children.
Hi Velmine, thank you for bringing this to my attention. That is certainly unacceptable, and we never want any child to have a bad experience. I am the owner of the office. I am so sorry you had a bad experience. Please send me an email to [email protected] (my personal email), and I will handle the situation. We value your family as patients and would love to continue to be your dental home. Dr. Baxter
Fantastic experience: My little girl was worried about going to the dentist but all the staff at Shelby Peds made her feel right at home. Super clean environment. It is very welcoming and fun for kids of all ages. We will definitely be using them from now on.
Fantastic experience: We had the most amazing experience with Dr. Baxter today. I've never met such a kind hearted doctor. I completely trust in the care my daughter will receive. Thank you to the whole staff that took time out of their day to listen to my concerns and ease my fears. I give Dr. Baxter and his team 5 stars!
