Morristown Pediatric Dentistry
OUR DENTIST is the heart of our practice. Dr. Helderman loves being a dentist and working with children. She aims to please and wants every experience to be amazing!
OUR FACILITY is designed for children, not adults. Most dental offices look like…dental offices. When you come through our front door, you will know right away that this is not your typical dental office. This is a place kids want to come to because it’s a fun place to visit! Our waiting area has a fun and interactive play area for little ones, along with video games for the bigger kids. Check out our facility.
OUR COMMITMENT to you is to provide your child with the highest quality dental care. We trust you will find the atmosphere child-oriented, the staff friendly, and our service exceptional.
OUR TEAM is amazing! We specifically choose each of our staff members for their friendliness and ability to build relationships with children. Not every person was born to interact with children all day – but we were!

Dr. Mallard was born and raised in Dyersburg, Tennessee, where he discovered at a young age that he wanted to become a dentist. He graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 2009 with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Your child may get to meet Dr. Mary Helen during their 6-month hygiene appointment or restorative appointment on days that Dr. Helderman has to be out of the office for hospital cases, continuing education days, vacations, etc.
With Dr. Moore as part of our team, it is our hope to ensure your child continues to receive timely and uninterrupted care throughout the year. We are so pleased for Dr. Moore to be a part of our practice and to help us provide the best possible continued care for your children!
