Dr. Timothy Followell, DMD

South Side families have long turned to pediatric dentists when baby teeth start wiggling. Dr. Timothy Followell, DMD keeps that tradition alive at 555 S 18th St, just blocks from Schiller Park where kids still chase fireflies after dinner. The practice specializes in early check-ups, sealants, and gentle cleanings—ideal for first-timers who might be nervous about the chair. Fluoride treatments and space maintainers round out the services, covering everything from tiny toddler molars to pre-teen braces prep.

Columbus neighborhoods like German Village and Merion Village often blend historic charm with modern needs, and this office fits right in. Parents appreciate how the team explains each step, whether it’s a routine exam or a more involved procedure like a pulpotomy. The location makes it easy to pair appointments with a stop at the nearby Book Loft or a picnic in the park afterward. No frills, just steady care for growing smiles in a part of town where community still means something.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling (614) 722-4579, and the office is straightforward to find—just south of downtown with clear signage along 18th.
