Your Child’s Dentists

Dr. Ansley Allen and Dr. Jill Gamotis

At Once Upon a Smile Children's Dentistry, Dr. Ansley and Dr. Jill bring together their passion for children's dental care with a truly nurturing approach. They believe that a trip to the dentist should be something children look forward to, not fear. By creating a warm, playful environment and taking time to connect with each young patient, they help build positive associations with dental care that can last a lifetime. 

Treatments For Tiny Teeth

Preventive Care

Give your child's smile the best start with our comprehensive preventive care services. From gentle cleanings to protective sealants, we focus on stopping problems before they start, making dental health fun and easy to understand for young patients.

Dental Crowns

When little teeth need extra protection, our variety of crown options ensures the perfect solution for your child. We offer strong, natural-looking crowns that protect damaged teeth while maintaining your child's confident smile.

Pulpotomies

Sometimes tooth decay reaches deeper than expected. Our gentle pulpotomy treatment helps save infected baby teeth while keeping your child comfortable. We use modern techniques to preserve natural teeth until they're ready to fall out naturally.

Sedation

For our more anxious young patients, we offer safe nitrous oxide sedation to help them relax. This gentle option helps turn nervous moments into calm experiences, ensuring your child stays comfortable throughout their treatment.

Dr. Jill and her staff are hands down the BEST pediatric dentistry clinic in northwest Alabama! They are truly called by God to do what they do! We have been using her for about 10 years and will continue to use her until my kids get too old or she retires, whichever comes first.

Theresa D.

The office is very child friendly. The staff is wonderful in making you feel comfortable. Dr. Gamotis and Dr. Allen are awesome! My grandson needed more in depth surgery and Dr. Allen referred him out to a wonderful place in Birmingham, so it would be easier for my grandson! I love these doctors and their staff.
