Charlotte is where Dr. Brent Smith grew up, and it’s where he has chosen to build his career caring for the city’s youngest patients. After leaving for school and returning to stay, he brings a deep personal investment to every child who sits in his chair at All Kids Pediatric Dentistry. His philosophy is simple: every kid deserves a good experience at the dentist, and those early visits shape how they feel about oral health for the rest of their lives.
Dr. Smith joined the All Kids Pediatric Dentistry team and brings board-certified credentials, community roots, and genuine enthusiasm for pediatric care. He has been named a Charlotte Magazine Top Dentist for the last three years, a recognition driven entirely by patient feedback and peer respect.
Dr. Brent Smith joined the All Kids Pediatric Dentistry team with a strong foundation in academic training and a clear vision: every child deserves a good experience at the dentist. He understands that a patient’s earliest dental visits shape their relationship with oral health for life. Originally from Columbus, Ohio, he moved to Charlotte at age 11 and has called the city home ever since, aside from his years away for school. That connection to the community informs everything about how he practices.
