His goal is to make every appointment upbeat, educational, and comfortable, giving kids a positive outlook on dental care while offering parents a small break. You can learn more about him before your initial visit below.
Healthcare had always appealed to Dr. Hodges, but his interest narrowed to dentistry during college. After shadowing and working alongside his own childhood pediatric dentist, he saw firsthand how rewarding it is to care for children and build relationships with families over many years.
Dr. Hodges earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Mississippi and went on to complete his dental training at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Afterward, he pursued a pediatric residency and became a board-certified pediatric dentist.
He continues to enhance his clinical approach through memberships in the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
During dental school in Memphis, Dr. Hodges met his wife, Katie, a fellow pediatric dentist. They now share a vibrant life with their daughter, Chambers, and their Siberian Husky, Shadow. A devoted Ole Miss sports supporter, Dr. Hodges also enjoys hunting and playing golf whenever he can.
