ATLANTA, GA – East Lake Smiles is a new, state-of-the-art pediatric dental office located at 2201 Glenwood Avenue. On September 10, the office celebrated its grand opening.
It was an important occasion for Dr. Melissa Brown as well as the community because the event marked a commitment to serving families by providing top-notch pediatric dental care. The event featured numerous guests, including DeKalb County Commissioner Lorraine Cochran Johnson and Rep. Steve Bradshaw’s chief of staff, Alesia Brooks.
Dr. Brown understands that a child’s first dental experience can shape their lifelong attitudes toward oral health. With her gentle and compassionate approach, Dr. Brown is to reduce dental anxiety in both caregiver and child. By creating a friendly office atmosphere, creating happy and healthy smiles for children will always be the goal. She takes the time to consult and educate each parent, providing five-star dental care for children from birth to 18 years old. A typical first visit includes a consultation to fit growing mouths, a dental cleaning and digital X-rays. Dr. Brown customizes an individual treatment plan according to each patient’s needs. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is available for visits requiring dental treatment.
With a long history in pediatric dentistry, Dr. Brown has the experience and knowledge to comfort and treat the growing child. She is an Atlanta native who graduated with honors from Spelman College. She went on to earn a Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the University of Iowa. After dental school, Dr. Brown received her certificate in pediatric dentistry in New York at Mount Sinai BronxCare Health System. Dr. Brown gained extensive clinical and didactic pediatric dentistry, behavior management and dental sedation training during residency. Her accolades include the University of Iowa College of Dentistry Dean’s Leadership Award, BronxCare Chief Resident, first recipient of the Sharon L. Holley DMD Pediatric Dentist of the Year Award, and a BronxCare Certificate of Recognition for Leadership Outstanding in the Community.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Brown enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, attending Broadway shows, watching Disney movies, and building Lego masterpieces.
