Pediatric Dental Group

What Pediatric Dental Group does

Pediatric Dental Group is a privately-held pediatric dental practice operating two physical clinics in Hattiesburg and Laurel, Mississippi, under the legal name Pediatric Dental Group of Hattiesburg and Laurel. Founded approximately 15 years ago, the practice serves children from infancy through adolescence, including patients with special health needs, using a team of six pediatric dentists (each with 2-3 years of post-doctoral specialty training), 12 hygienists, 11 dental assistants, and roughly 12 administrative staff. Core offerings split into preventative care (first pediatric visits, infant oral care, dental health education, sealants, fluoride) and treatments (resin crowns, tooth-colored composite fillings, pulpotomies, space maintainers) with a full sedation ladder spanning conscious oral sedation, nitrous oxide, and hospital-based general anesthesia. The technology stack is conventional clinical dental equipment (digital radiography, resin composite systems, sedation delivery) with no proprietary software or AI components.

The practice generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis through scheduled in-person appointments, accepted across Medicaid, CHIP, and TRICARE military insurance networks, with CareCredit offered as a third-party financing option for out-of-pocket costs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per case during consultation. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer and relies on community reputation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the practice website (pdghattiesburg.com); there is no evidence of paid digital advertising or remote/telehealth service delivery. The business is founder/physician-owned with no disclosed external institutional investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity in the source data.

Two physical clinics, dual-office scheduling, and a six-doctor roster enable meaningful regional throughput, but the operational footprint is geographically constrained to the Pine Belt region of southern Mississippi. There is no app, no API, and limited digital infrastructure; operating economics are driven by chair utilization, hygiene productivity, and sedation case mix rather than technology leverage.
