Athens Area Pediatric Dentistry Safe Sedation Dentistry for Your Child's Special Needs Dr. John T. Let’s redefine what it means to go to the dentist. 💚💙

Hansford, DMD
🦷 Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist & Dental Anesthesiologist
📍 Watkinsville, GA | Owner of Athens Area Pediatric Dentistry

I'm Dr. John Hansford, a dual board-certified pediatric dentist and dental anesthesiologist, committed to making dental care safe, accessible, and compassionate—especially for children and patients with special needs who can’t get treatment elsewhere. With adva

nced training in anesthesia, I specialize in helping even the most anxious or medically complex patients receive care comfortably. I lecture and consult internationally on topics like systemic diseases, dental anesthesia, and special care dentistry, and I take pride in mentoring the next generation of dental professionals. At our family-run practice in Watkinsville, we’re not just treating teeth—we’re creating positive dental experiences for kids and peace of mind for parents. Outside the office, I enjoy singing karaoke, taking improv classes, spending time with my family, and geeking out over Adventure Time.
