surgical and emergency services at LeBonheur Children’s Hospital and St.
Jude’s Children’s Hospital. She is an active member of the American

Dr. Jodi Braid is a recent graduate of the Pediatric Dentistry program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. During her residency, she spent her time treating children from all walks of life at Children's Mercy Hospital, one of Child Magazine's top ten hospitals. Although she has also earned degrees from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign and Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Dr. Braid considers herself a life-long student of pediatric dentistry and is always striving to improve her skills and knowledge in order to serve you better. Dr. Braid always knew that if she were to be a dentist that she would be a children's dentist. She loves working with kids. Their honesty and curiosity can prompt them to say some pretty silly things and that makes for a fun day at work. Dr. Braid considers it a true honor and privilege to have the opportunity to help improve the oral health of your children. Dr. Braid and her husband, Bryan, were excited about relocating to Dyersburg in 2004 with their son, Billy, and their two labs, Handsome and Russell. They felt as though Dyersburg offered a great place for them to enjoy the outdoors, hunting and taking long walks. The Braid family was anxious to become involved in such a beautiful and friendly community.
Dr. Braid is delighted that you have brought
your child to Dyersburg Pediatric Dentistry to meet this wonderful group
of people. Although she had interviewed many places, she chose to
come here because Dr. Hughes, Dr. Cox, and their staff truly care about
helping children.
