Exciting Breaking News for Jackson-Area Families: I’m Expanding to Pearl, MS to Better Serve You
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news—beginning April 15, 2025, I’ll be seeing patients on FRIDAY’S at a brand-new location in Pearl, MS, just outside of Jackson:
Robert H. Thornton, DMD
3823 Hwy 80 East, Suite 400
Pearl, MS 39208
Call or text (601) 850-2464
This expansion is a heartfelt step forward in my mission to support more families seeking answers and lasting solutions for tongue and lip ties.
As a dentist dedicated to treating tethered oral tissues in infants and children, I’ve seen firsthand the impact that tongue and lip ties can have on nursing, breathing, speech, and overall development. I understand how overwhelming it can feel as a parent when your child struggles to latch, eat, or thrive. That’s why I’m here—to listen, to help, and to guide you through it all.
At both my Tupelo, MS and now Pearl, MS locations, I offer advanced laser frenectomy treatment that’s gentle, precise, and effective. The procedure takes only a few moments but can create a lifetime of difference. Paired with pre- and post-procedure myofunctional therapy (think of it as physical therapy for the mouth), we help retrain oral muscles for improved function and lasting outcomes.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I’ll walk you through every step—evaluating your child’s needs, recommending care, and supporting you through wound care and healing exercises to ensure success and prevent reattachment. My goal is to empower you with the tools and confidence to help your child thrive.
Whether your infant is struggling to breastfeed, or your toddler is facing speech or feeding challenges, I’m here to help. Opening this new Pearl, MS location, just 10 minutes or less from Jackson, MS, means shorter drives and more access for families in the Jackson metro area who need specialized care close to home.
If you’ve been searching for answers, let’s talk. I’d be honored to support your family’s journey toward better oral health, growth, and development.
Appointments at my Pearl, MS location begin April 15, 2025—Fridays only for now—so be sure to reach out to schedule an appointment: Call or text (601) 850-2464.
I look forward to serving the greater Jackson, MS community.
Warmly,
Dr. Robert Thornton, DMD
