About Alabama Pediatric Dental Associates & Orthodontics

Dr. Marcus Moss and the team draw families from up to two hours away, many seeking care for special-needs and anxious children.

This is a pediatric dental practice that also provides orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, traditional braces, and early treatment. Reviews describe families traveling well beyond their local area, sometimes nearly two hours, because they trust the care given to special-needs and anxious kids. Scheduling is a particular strength, with quick in-and-out visits, same-day availability for urgent needs, and multiple children often seen in a single trip. A small number of billing and insurance disputes show up, but they're outnumbered by notes on gentle, patient care from Dr. Moss and the rest of the team.

Dr Moss and his staff are absolutely wonderful with my kids! Morgan E especially is a rockstar! She took the best care of my daughter while she got her fillings. She kept her entertained and comfortable the entire time we were here. If I could give higher than 5 stars, I would!

I absolutely love this place! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Today I accidentally showed up for my son’s appointment two days early, and everyone was so kind and understanding about it. They were even able to squeeze us in with only a short wait. I truly appreciate the amazing customer service and how well they took care of us. Highly recommend! Dr. Moss and Emily was so patient with my son walking him through every step .

Took one of our children to Brent M in Decatur. After the consultation it was clear he should not be working with children or the public in general. I asked him what was the sedation that they would be giving to my child. The response I got was very alarming and deeply concerning. He says.. “Do you have any training in sedation medicines? Then why should I explain it to you?” The child was emotionally upset, as any 4 year old would have been in a dentist office. He was angry that a 4 year old was crying and he said a few words and stormed off. After a few words back and forth we left and scheduled at another location with a more professional dentist and human. I will keep spreading this word as this man does not need to be working with young children. This was a few years ago but I will not let it go unnoticed.

My grandson who is 8 years old and I had the most amazing first visit here. Dr. Butler and Kelly our hygienest made Zachary want to come back...Being his first visit since he was little, this made my heart happy that they could take care of all his dental needs to come...and he totally was very comfortable and relaxed. The proposed treatment and our out of pocket cost was explained very well all the staff were amazing! And he loved the playground right there in the office too!
