Family Dentistry in Fort Smith, AR

Our top priority is establishing a relationship with you and ensuring you are comfortable during your dental visits. We are proud now to extend that warm invitation to the entire family. We are Fort Smith born and raised, and we understand how extended families often live and work together. So why not seek dental care for everyone at once?

At Northside Dental, we can provide services tailored to each person’s individual needs.

Dental Care Is a Family Affair

Did you know that parents who seek dental care have children with healthier teeth? A 2018 study analyzed this relationship and found that regular dental care for parents’ children has three main advantages in that they "are more likely:

  • To have excellent, very good, or good teeth.
  • To have seen a dentist for preventive care in the past year."
  • To avoid delaying or going without recommended dental care.

The goal of Dr. Simpson and his team is to remove any obstacles between you and the dental care you deserve.

Advantages of Northside Dental as Your Fort Smith Family Dentist

  1. Convenience – Save time running around by having all your dental appointments under one roof.

  3. Communication – Dr. Simpson’s chair-side manner appeals to adults and children alike. We can put treatment details into terms you can understand and Se Habla Español Tambien.

Dental Care for Youngsters

We believe that parenting is one of the most important roles a person can take. We also agree that all children deserve the healthiest and prettiest smiles we can give them. Therefore, Dr. Simpson recommends your child makes their first visit to our office around their first birthday.

Your child’s distinct temperament will dictate our approach. For example, some children respond better to an initial practice visit where they can look around and see the interesting tools and technology while sitting in the chair with no treatment being applied. Once your child is ready, Dr. Simpson can check out their teeth to see how they’re coming in.

As your children grow, we will perform cleanings, and if Dr. Simpson needs a better look, we will take digital x-rays, which are quick and safe. We use all tools at hand to catch any future dental problems in your child’s baby teeth, and with consistent care, we can keep their smile strong.

Frequently Asked Questions

One common myth in our modern world is that dental care causes pain. Popular culture reinforces this idea in cartoonish ways, while historical dental appliances look cumbersome and medieval to the 21st-century eye.

But Dr. Aaron Simpson is happy to dispel that myth by pointing out a common denominator with most tooth pain: it probably hurt before your dental visit. In truth, the actual cause of most tooth pain is inflammation, infection, or both due to tooth decay or other progressive conditions and trauma.

Our job here at Northside Dental is to provide a comfortable and secure place for you to receive necessary treatments. In other words, we relieve pain and address what caused that pain in the first place.

Stress-Free Dental Treatments in Fort Smith, AR

If you have a toothache, combining that pain with dental anxiety compounds the nastiness of your experience. Fear reactions like increased heart rate impact swelling and have been proven to inhibit your ability to tolerate discomfort.

Suppose this describes you; above all things, we want you to know that we understand and promise to treat you in the way we want to receive care. We offer nitrous oxide as a safe and easy way to ease you through procedures. Our experience and techniques help complete care quickly and put you back in business, even on the same day.
