A toothbrush does a great job cleaning the surfaces it can reach, but it can’t always get into those tight spaces between teeth. That’s where flossing comes in!

And yes, we know... adding one more step to the bedtime routine is exactly what every parent wanted to hear. 😂 But starting the habit early can make a big difference!

We have some really exciting news to share with our 318 families! 🎉

318 Pediatric Dentistry is now the first practice in the area to partner with Pediatric Dental Anesthesia Associates! That means we can now offer in-office IV sedation services right here, with Dr. Caldwell by our side.

Here’s what that means for your family:
🦷 For kids who need a significant amount of dental work, we can now get it all done in a single appointment. One visit, fully taken care of.

🦷 For children with severe dental anxiety, this is a game changer. IV sedation means they can get the care they need in a way that feels safe and comfortable for everyone.

Dr. Caldwell is incredible at what she does, and our patients already love her! We are so proud to bring this level of care to the Shreveport, Bossier, and Benton area.

There is no such thing as a perfect appointment.

We don’t need your child to be the bravest and we definitely don't expect them to love the dentist right away. Some kids hop right in the chair like they own the place, and others need a little more time. We see more of the latter!

All of that is okay, perfectly normal, and never an 'inconvenience' for anyone of us. Our only goal is that your child leaves feeling just a little more comfortable than when they walked in. One small win at a time!

Pediatric dentist for kids of all ages in Bossier City & Benton. From first visits to cleanings, we make healthy smiles simple. Book online!

The prize box is due for a restock and we figured the experts should weigh in...

We've been hearing a lot about Nee-Dohs lately?? If we somehow got our hands on a few and put them in the prize box, we're pretty sure our patient list would double overnight. 😂

But first, help us out. Drop your child's current obsession in the comments. Bluey, dinosaurs, Squishmallows, baseball cards, princesses, something that requires a ten minute explanation; we want to know all of it!

The Spigeners came back for their visit and this time, they brought a new addition! 💕

This is one of our favorite things about this job. Watching families grow, visit after visit, and knowing that 318 is their dental home through all of it. What an honor!

Dr. Schmidt needed a first day of school update from his 318Kids!

Based on the reports coming in...someone cried at drop-off (we’re not saying who 🤐 ), lunch was forgotten on the counter, and at least one kid decided this was the day to announce they hate their shoes. 😅

But you know what? Everyone made it and that’s a win! Happy first day of school, Bossier Parish!
