Dr. Tamerah Marable
Meet the Smile Expert Behind Tiny Roots!
Hello!
I’m Dr. Tamerah Marable, but you can call me Dr. Tam. I’m a proud Board-Certified pediatric dentist with a heart for creating great dental experiences for kids — and making sure they leave with a smile on their face! I grew up in Valdosta, Georgia, where dentistry runs in my blood. In fact, I’m the 10th dentist in my family (yes, you read that right!). My dad, who’s also a dentist, is the reason I fell in love with dentistry. I’ve always admired how he’s able to help people, and now, I’m doing the same — but with a focus on making kids feel safe and excited about their dental visits.
To me, every child’s first experience with a dentist is so important — it sets the tone for their future oral health habits. That’s why I’ve worked hard to create Tiny Roots, a practice that’s rooted in family, care, and a genuine commitment to making every visit fun and comfortable for my little patients.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me cheering on my favorite sports teams, traveling, dancing, or spending time with my family and friends.
I can’t wait to meet you and your little one — and make their smile shine brighter than ever!

Benefits of Pediatric Preventive Dentistry in Atlanta, GA
Helps Prevent Cavities Early
Preventive dental care focuses on stopping tooth decay before it starts. Regular cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and sealants help protect your child’s teeth from cavities. Early prevention reduces the need for more complex dental treatments later.
Supports Healthy Dental Development
Routine preventive visits allow dentists to monitor how your child’s teeth and jaws are developing. Identifying issues early helps guide proper tooth alignment and oral growth. This supports healthier smiles as children transition from baby teeth to permanent teeth.
Builds Lifelong Healthy Habits
Preventive dentistry teaches children the importance of good oral hygiene from a young age. Kids learn proper brushing and flossing habits in a positive, supportive environment. These habits help maintain strong teeth and gums well into adulthood.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Preventive Dentistry
-
Most children should visit the dentist every six months for preventive care. Regular visits allow early detection of cavities and developmental concerns. These appointments also help keep teeth clean and healthy. Consistent visits build comfort and trust with dental care.
What happens during these visits? Lots of gentle attention! Dr. Tam knows every child is unique and takes time to make each visit warm, welcoming, and stress-free. We use advanced tools like wireless polishing machines and tiny intraoral cameras so we can show you exactly what’s happening inside your child’s mouth — making every visit educational and engaging.
-
Preventive dental care should begin by your child’s first birthday or when the first tooth appears. Early visits help monitor growth and catch issues early. They also help children become familiar with the dental environment. Starting early supports lifelong oral health.
-
Yes, fluoride treatments are safe and commonly recommended for children. They help strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. Treatments are applied in controlled amounts during dental visits. Your dentist will recommend fluoride based on your child’s needs.
-
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They help block food particles and bacteria that cause cavities. Sealants are especially helpful for children who are prone to decay. They provide long-lasting protection with no discomfort.
-
Daily brushing and flossing play a key role in preventing cavities. Limiting sugary snacks and drinks also helps protect teeth. Using fluoride toothpaste and following your dentist’s guidance supports strong enamel. Preventive care at home works best alongside regular dental visits.
