As Pediatric and Orthodontic specialists, we know that we need to bring together technologies that protect your child’s health, comforts that help him or her receive anxiety-free dental care, and amenities that make trips to the dentist fun! We also know that the care we provide will set the stage for your child’s dental care well into adulthood – most people who have a fear of the dentist had bad experiences in childhood, and one of our main goals is to make sure your child only has great experiences at Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. And we haven’t forgotten the fun! We offer video games in the waiting room, free wifi, and TVs in every operatory, helping keep your child entertained and distracted during dental visits.
You’ll find our office at the intersection of S Jefferson St and E Jackson St next to Krystal and the Cookeville Commons shopping mall. We’re across the street from Jefferson Ave Church of Christ and near Kroger and Aldi.
We love investing in our community and doing school outreach! Some of the surrounding schools our team visits within the Putnam County School District are Capshaw Elementary School, Sycamore Elementary, Algood Elementary School, Algood Middle School, Prescott South Middle School, Cookeville High, Park View Elementary, and many more!

We accommodate a range of dental needs that keep you on the path to a beautiful,
functioning smile. We are here to discuss your options in a no pressure environment.
We recognize that every child has unique dental treatment needs from kids dentist. Sometimes a simple procedure can seem overwhelming or intimidating. If you have a child with special needs, we can provide kids dentist and pediatric dental care for them in an environment that ensures their experiences are positive and rewarding. Our team of specialists work to make the parents a part of the treatment process. At Cumberland we focus on educating our team members on the diverse needs of every child.

For greater comfort, we offer oral sedation for kids. Some children might need sedation from kids dentist during their dental visits for a variety of reasons, and if your child is especially sensitive to anxiety, oral sedation can make all the difference!

The atmosphere when you walking in family friendly. They have a bilingual staff to make communication no big deal. They work fast and efficiently. I love that they have tvs above every chair to let the kids watch a movie. The staff is very understanding with any issue a child has during the visit. They are also very patient with every child. I would recommend them 10 /10.
The whole office has always been great with my daughter. They do they're best to make her comfortable and always answer all my questions
This was my third visit with my daughters to Cumberland Pediatrics. The staff are extremely friendly, informative, and professional. From the desk clerks to the dental assistants to the dentist herself, which is Mrs. Lambert. They are amazing, I would recommend any parent in Putnam County and the surrounding County's to visit this office. Thank you for taking care of my girl's like they were your own!!!
Great experience with braces for two of my children! Great service, they clearly explain every step of the process and scheduling appointments is easy. Highly recommend!
We love this place! Everyone is courteous and friendly from the moment you walk in the door. My daughter feels at ease being there. I appreciate how they take the time to explain every procedure and ask if I have any questions. I recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a great pediatric dental staff for their child!
The staff is wonderful and I feel like they care about my children. I’m so grateful because taking a 5 year old and 2 year old to the dentist can be pretty scary!
It is a wonderful place for children to get orthodontic work or a dentist very friendly staff I would recommend them to anyone with children
The staff here are Absolutely fantastic! So helpful and fun! They are also very quick! Today my daughter went in at 9 for a cleaning... they did xrays, a cleaning, a checkup and she ended up having to have 2 teeth pulled, we were still out of there before 10!! My girls love going to the dentist and Orthodontist now! So do I!
We are extremely happy with the care here. My son had a bad experience at another dentist at a young age and was petrified of the dentist. Cumberland Pediatric makes him feel comfortable and safe. He and my niece both love the tablets in the waiting room and the movies playing above the exam beds. He still gets very anxious about anything other than a cleaning but everyone there has always been super supportive and helped put his mind at ease.

Followed this company across the state. Their staff are always gracious, thorough and, make going to the dentist a treat rather than a scary thing for our children.
Updated: returned today for my youngest to get a filling. The administrative personnel, nurses and staff made the experience enjoyable and were super quick. I just love this dentist
I got there early expecting fill out a lot of paper work but it was actually very simple. I was even seen before my actual appointment time and they did an excellent job caring for my son even though he was scared being this was his first dentist appointment ever. They were great in answering all of the questions that I had and explaining everything in detail.
There is a tiny lady named Tina Myers that works here. She is very compassionate and loving about her job and loves working with the kids. She is a great person and an awesome friend. I would recommend anyone taking their children to this Dentist. You will be well taken care of.
We changed to this dental office when they first opened after having a terrible experience with my son at another office in town. From the moment that we walked in they were so friendly and helpful to me and my son. He has a lot of dental issues and they have never once made us feel bad or guilty for his teeth. I would recommend them to anyone needing any dental work for their children!
My kids love this dental office! They are great with kids. They do quality work and are always able to get all three of my kids an appointment at the same time. Orthodontics is great as well!
They did really well with my 3 yr old daughter they explained everything well to us and even explained to her everything they was gonna do and what to expect with the gas they gave her and she did awesome she didn't fight it at all. And once she was asleep one nurse even promised me that she would take excellent care of her as if she was her own child. They was all really friendly and understanding!
The staff at Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry are the absolute best in their field. Their kindness and compassion and quality of service far surpasses any competition. My daughter enjoys going to the dentist and orthodontist, and tells her friends about how nice the staff is and how they always make her feel safe and comfortable. I am a nurse and I look for things like professionalism, cleanliness, ease of scheduling appointments in my hectic schedule and I am so pleased with all of the above. I have recommended Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry to my friends and colleagues and will continue to do so.
We took our daughter here for her first dental visit. She was very nervous at first but the staff was AMAZING. They went the extra mile to make her feel comfortable and create a fun environment. Dr. Lambert was great and very thorough as well. We are new to the area and were unsure of which dentist to choose but after today I would refuse to take her anywhere else. Definitely recommended!
Very quick and thorough with my 4 kiddos. Always such a clean environment and they are always so helpful! We recommend them to everyone!
Everyone is always so kind and patient. My 5 year old loves it here and my 1 year old just had his first visit and they were so kind to him and patient even during his screaming. Ill never go anywhere else!
Wonderful with my child from cleaning to sedation dentistry. My child has never had a fear of going here. Loves the TVs in the ceilings and the ninjas in the coin machine. He is 4.
Everyone from the front staff, the dental hygienists, to the dentists are amazing! Kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Thank you for making the experiences easier, and fun! Definitely bring your kids here! They work with schedules and keep parents informed with reminders! Thanks for all you do!
Tina did an excellent job with my son! He gets very worked up as she was so patient as she took excellent care of him. She turned the experience around for him as he left with smiles!!
My children likes both doctor's and all the staff. They are very professional and polite. It is a great atompshere for the children and their families to come to for all their dentistry. I would definitely recommend this company to everyone that has any age children.
I’m so happy I chose this place to take my grand daughter to get her braces! She had several issues with her teeth, It’s amazing how her teeth look now! I recommend taking your children here. My grandson loves going to the dentist now! Everyone are very professional and friendly and nice!!
Love,love,love Dr Mallory Dawson and the girls of the Orthodonist crew! They make you feel like family. All positive experiences over the years with both of my boys. ❤️❤️❤️
Great staff, dentists can be scary for kids, but this place makes it very comfortable to relax and not be scared.. It's a clean atmosphere too! Highly recommend!!!
Love the way they are straight up with my babies about having to keep their teeth brushed and flossed, rinsed out with mouth wash. They are wonderful and I would recommend every parent to take their children there. My kids use to hate going but now they love it then look forward to going they even ask me mom is it time to go to the dentist yet. Lol
Best dentist in town. My kids have been going here since 2014 and they have always given great service. They explain procedures if they need to be done, make it comfortable for the kids, play movies while they are having their mouths looked at to keep kids less stressed. They send text message reminders and they accept my kids insurance which is a major plus. I wish there was an adult dentist that was as wonderful as CPDO!😁🤗
Absolutely love all the staff here, we’ve always been greeted as if we are family. They treat the girls with the highest of regards. They always let them as well as me know ways to improve teeth care and if needed a dental plan we follow to get to our healthiest and prettiest teeth.
Let’s not forget the office staff , they are amazing as well , always greeting us with a smile and go above and beyond.
We Love Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry. They ROCK
This was our very first experience with CPDO and from the moment we walked into the office we were greeted with friendly and knowledgeable front office staff. The hygienist was extremely sweet and patient. My 8 year old daughter was a little nervous but once meeting the staff she began to immediately relax. The building was really clean and the decor was very “kid friendly” which helps ease their fears. I would highly recommend this facility!
Great office. Seems fun and nice place for the kids. I had braces when i was younger and in another state. I lost my retainer and the office where I had originally received my braces and retainer was very rude and not helpful now that I wasn't a patient anymore. CPDO staff are some of the nicest people in town! So professional and helpful. Went out if their way to make me feel comfortable and helped me get new retainers!
My son (now 9years old) loves coming here. Going to the dentist is something he looks fwd to. They cater to children with treating each one with genuine care and concern. There’s also movies during treatment and rewards after appointment. Wish I could watch a movie at my dentist with cool glasses too... 😉
Such a great dental office! Friendly and experienced staff, a fun and relaxing atmosphere from the moment you walk through the door. Greeted with bright smiles from the front desk. The office manager, Bobbie is helpful and caring with any and all concerns or questions you might have. I highly recommend this place for your childrens dental needs!
okay hands down best office I've ever been to. my daughter used to be afraid of the dentist. now she can't wait to go back! all the staff is very sweet and professional. we really loved Dr Lambert. there was no wait time even with a packed parking lot. you guys definitely deserve the five stars!!
y'all I love this place!!!!!!! the staff is so professional. everyone is so helpful. my kids love getting to watch Disney movies while getting their teeth cleaned. we loved seeing Dr Kyle today. he sang to my youngest daughter to get her calmed down for her first visit. my heart melted guys!! definitely recommending!!
This place is the best. We took my son here for a cleaning. The new hygienist made us feel right at home and gave us great advice. All the staff is so friendly! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Made us feel like family! i recommend this office to anyone looking for a kind, caring dentist for their family. My girls loved the new hygienist and i believe Leisha M. made them motivated to take better care of their teeth!
5 stars for whole office.
Both my kids see the dentist and orthodontist here and THEY LOVE IT! My children have received multiple services from cleanings, fillings, sedation, and orthodontic treatment and the assistants are always so caring and show concern. They explain the procedures of what they are going to do very thoroughly. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Bryan are great and would recommend them to family and friends! FIVE STARS!!!
This office was perfect for my son! He used to be intimidated by the dentist but his new hygienist, Leisha made him feel so much more comfortable. She was awesome, professional and kept him smiling. He can't wait to go back next time! Will definitely be recommending!
All three of my nieces come to the practice for their routine cleanings. Also my two oldest nieces come monthly for all of their Orthodontic needs. Definitely recommend this practice to everyone! Such a great kid friendly environment. All the employees are absolutely wonderful. Thank you guys for taking SUCH great care of my nieces.
I JUST GOT MY BRACES OFF YESTERDAY! THIS OFFICE IS GREAT AND THE ORTHODONTIST, DR.DAWSON, IS AWESOME! SHE REALLY TOOK HER TIME TO MAKE SURE I WAS HAPPY WITH MY TEETH. THE STAFF IS SUPER CARING, FRIENDLY, AND PATIENT. THEY REALLY MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOMED AND THE END RESULT OF MY BRACES IS PHENOMENAL!
Great staff, dentists can be scary for kids, but this place makes it very comfortable to relax and not be scared.. It's a clean atmosphere too! Highly recommend!!!
We love this dentist and orthodontist. My 2 kids go, and my baby will start going soon! Not only do they help take care of the kids teeth and do a wonderful job at it, but they are so friendly and makes sure the kids are comfortable. The staff is amazing! My kids have only had to have fillings once and it was a quick and painless experience. My son sees the orthodontist, and she's amazing, his treatment has been as pleasant as can be considering it's braces. Its a bit of a drive for us, but totally worth it, kids need to enjoy going to the dentist, and they do their best to make it happen.
