My name is Michael Blen, otherwise known as Dr. B. As a native Memphian, I am proud to have established a pediatric dental practice like few others here in Memphis. My mission statement has always been to provide quality dental care in a safe and nurturing environment in order to create happy and healthy dental patients for life. Every child is an individual and should be treated as such. Everyone in Dr B's office is Awesome! The Most professional & pleasant staff that I have Ever come in contact with.

However, most often, I have been told that a little Dr. B reinforcement at home would be nice. I have made these animated explainer videos to "have my parents' back" and to help reinforce excellent habits. We have two sets of teeth during our life: 20 primary teeth and 32 permanent teeth. The 20 primary, or baby teeth, are essential for chewing, speech, and holding space for permanent teeth. Primary teeth start to develop In Utero and emerge in the mouth in the first 3 years of life. It's that time of year again!

If you are looking for a pediatric dentist, look no future, you have found the perfect place for your child/children and family! Dr. B and his team have taken the time to make sure every contact with your kiddo/s is top notch! They are genuine, trustworthy, and provide the highest quality service. Everything is kid oriented! My kids love the dentist thanks to Dr. B and his team.

My son became a patient of Dr. B at age of 3 and has remained his patient continuously until he turned 18 years old. We would never have even considered another dentist in all those years. Dr. B and his entire staff are phenomenal! You will never find a more knowledgeable, kind, caring, attentive, or compassionate dentist. When you weigh your choices in pediatric dentistry, there is only one correct choice - DR. B!

Dr. B and his staff create a welcoming and uniformly positive environment to teach kids good dental health. I appreciate that Dr. B always speaks directly with parents after each appointment to keep them updated on their child's progress, and to give a head's up on any issues. Can't recommend this practice highly enough!

I can't say enough positive words about Dr. B and his staff! They are friendly and warm and extremely professional. My 12 year old daughter has been a patient of Dr. B for several years now and looks forward to her visits. She actually reminds me about setting her appointments. I highly recommend Dr. B to anyone who is looking for a caring and knowledgeable pediatric dentist.

We love Dr. B and his team! They are always so friendly and timely. My children look forward to their visits every 6 months. My daughter even got upset when her brother had an appointment and she didn't. Dr. B is very patient with them and discusses preventive measures and treatment. He is truly a partner in their dental care.

I have 5 boys that are 2 to 13, so finding a good dentist is a must. My 8yr old is very clingy, nervous and has a lot of anxiety. We found Dr. Blen after 2 very bad dental experiences (in the eyes of my child). And one we loved but was so far away. Dr. Blen eased my son's anxiety and was able to do work he needed without me present which was a huge feat for my son.
He helped my son trust a dentist again and be excited about the next time he would go in for a cleaning. I feel so blessed to have found such a sweet man with a true loving heart. You can tell he cares deeply about your child's experience being a positive one and giving your child a positive view of the dentist. He is the very best dentist I've ever been to and I wish I would've had him to care for me as a child.
The staff is excellent, kind and all smiles. The office is so adorabley decorated.in what else?.bees! It smells nice too, which is a big thing I personally notice. Very modern decor and comfortable. The building is nice and its a great location. I'm so very grateful we found Dr. Blen And look forward to a very long relationship, with all these boys!;)

Dr. Blen and his entire staff are amazing! My 2yr old was comfortable enough with his team that she walked back to be examined by herself! She left the office excited about her visit and exam. I recommend this office to my coworkers even though we work in a practice that includes dental services. It's a testament to how amazing Dr. B's office is!

Dr. B and his staff are amazing! They completely understand children, how they communicate, and their fears so that they can successfully navigate that experience to be able to administer dental care. They know when to include the parent, and when it's time to have separation - and their communication with the parent during this process is excellent.
I can not recommend Dr. B more - he has made the dentist visit a stress-free experience for my young boys. Start your kids there early to start getting used to the office while no major dental work is needed!

This place is amazing! I can hear my daughter giggling and having a great time while getting her check up! I did a lot of research before I picked her 1st dentist and oh boy am I thrilled with my decision! The staff is so nice and they really care about the kids. Dr. B is so nice and informative and my daughter loves him! She loves to brush her teeth with her new Dora toothbrush we got!

I am currently 16 years old, and I have been a patient at Dr. B's office since I was 3. My mom calls Dr. B the 'dental whisperer' because I have never, ever had a fear of visiting the dentist due to the way in which Dr. B calmly and carefully approaches each patient, especially the youngest ones. His welcoming smile, friendly hygienists, and colorful office decor set the mood for a fun and exciting trip to the dentist.
Maybe his slogan should read, 'Never fear. Dr. B is here!' If you're ever in need of a pediatric dentist, Dr. B is the place to be! He was even able advise me on braces when the time came to get them. He recommended an excellent orthodontist and still maintained my cleanings in between. I am aware that I'm technically old enough to seek treatment from an adult dentist, but I fully intend to continue being a patient at Dr. B's office until he kicks me out when I go off to college. Ha! Ha! Take my advice and choose your pediatric dental from Dr. Blen aka 'Dr. B'.

My experience at Dr. B Micheal Blen's pediatric dentist was outstanding. Going to the dentist as a little child and now as a teen still can make people nervous. In my case as a teen it still makes me feel that way but the faculty at this dentist office made me feel right at home. The nurses were some of the most friendly, outgoing, and helpful nurses I've ever been around.
These nurses didn't just do their job but did more by making me feel comfortable and answering any questions I had. Dr. Blen was wonderful as well doing a thorough check up on me, asking and answering any questions or concerns I had, and also being very friendly and outgoing. When I come to this dentist office I see that the people who work here do not just do their jobs but do them in a way that makes each child's experience there comfortable and enjoyable. I truly love my dentist office and recommend them to anyone in need of great care.

This is my three year old daughter's second visit to Dr Blen's and I have to say that I wouldn't want to go anywhere else! They treat my daughter like she is a princess and she absolutely LOVES coming to the dentist. The office is in a nice big building and there is a ton of free parking in the lot behind the building. The office itself has the "kid friendly" feel without feeling like you are at Chuck E Cheese.
The furniture and decor is modern with a few toys and a TV to keep the kiddos entertained for the short wait. Speaking of short waits, I didn't have a change to fill out the check in slip before they called us back! Dr Blen and his entire staff go out of their way to make both my daughter and me feel at ease. They even gave her a little token at the end of her visit to use in the prize machine. They They are just that good!

My Kids love Dr. B. We have been going there for about three years, nothing but simple check ups and general good maintenance for their teeth, they are now 5 yrs and 7 yrs. It is amazing. They can't wait to go to the dentist and that excitement has translated into good oral hygiene. They take brushing seriously bc Dr. B tells them in a fun and gentle way how to maintain their teeth.
His staff is friendly and gentle with the kids and parents. I wish he did adults! I highly recommend him for children. I dreaded my first day taking them and my kids went with the assistants without a problem, they took it at their pace, didn't push or scare them, they talked to them and explained everything. I really appreciated their approach.

Where to start? Dr. Blen's office is warm and inviting, and once a mom steps into reception, all the stress disappears. Our two children both adore Dr. B and their staff. Everything in this office is kid-friendly, and yet manages not to be condescending. Kids wear sunglasses during exams, and get to pick a prize at the end. Moms and dads are invited to relax in one of the waiting areas, which seems to give kids confidence. Dr. Blen will work with parents on issues like tongue-thrusting, bites, orthodonture, x-rays, and will watch for spacing as teeth come in, keeping parents informed at every stage. Dr. Blen's office is involved with the community, giving back with events like Loot for the Troops; kids bring in leftover Halloween candy the day after, and receive tickets for prizes, color, have snacks, and socialize.
Our American troops overseas get a taste of home, and a morale boost. Call for an appointment at this very convenient East Memphis location with ample free parking, and rest easy knowing you've chosen the very very best for your child.
