The Polkdadot Story in Alpharetta
Alpharetta is integral to the story of Polkadot Pediatric Dentistry and its start. Back in 2013, Dr. Nanna was ready to begin her journey in her life’s goal of opening up her own pediatric dental office. Originally, she and her husband had originally chosen to move to Dallas after a visit and through a recommendation of some friends. They drove from Pennsylvania to Dallas, but on the way they had a friend from Alpharetta ask them to stop by and visit.
That one visit changed everything for Dr. Nanna and her family. Once they got into town and stopped to meet with their friends, they ended up staying for a while. They loved the community and were thoroughly enjoying their stay.
What first was a temporary visit ended up becoming much more? Our Alpharetta Pediatric Dentist, Dr. Nanna, and her husband got to talking and thought they had all their possessions and plans ready in Dallas, they just couldn’t part ways with Alpharetta.
Something about the community and the air made them feel just at home. They fell in love and just couldn’t leave Alpharetta.
Before they made the final call, they decided that they would give Alpharetta one more test. They wanted to know if the city could support their dreams of owning a pediatric dental office. So, Dr. Nanna and her husband went searching. They wanted to make sure that Alpharetta was a young and growing community with a strong youthful demographic, not only for the business but also to help provide a great environment for the family they would soon be starting. 2nd, they wanted to make sure that they could find an office that could house the vision they had for what is now Polka.
The search for an office is what sealed the deal. Dr. Nanna and her husband found two neighboring offices perfect for the dental office that they imagined. It was perfect. On one side, Dr. Nanna’s husband could start the business that he was working on, and on the other side, Dr. Nanna could open her pediatric dental office.
And ever since, Dr. Nanna and her husband have called Alpharetta their home. They’ve opened both their businesses and have grown them into successful businesses in the community, they have started their family by welcoming two children and have become active members of the community. Polkadot Pediatric Dentistry and its pediatric dentists in Alpharetta have called Alpharetta their home since 2013 and will always have strong roots in the city.
Alpharetta Community Topics
We created this page to create an easy reference page for all of the Alpharetta-specific topics we have on the website. The Polkadot Pediatric Dentistry blog consistently publishes content on oral health and topics specific to dentistry for children. However, to help families and parents further, we wanted to create something that parents could use day today.
Therefore, we started to create content that was specific to Alpharetta. Posts will discuss foods that you can buy that are healthy for your children’s teeth, safety precautions and other topics.

Guide to Alpharetta School Lunches
In order to be of the most assistance to our parents, we wanted to create a guide for the local school lunches in Alpharetta and Fulton County. As parents, we want to make sure that our kids are eating foods healthy for themselves and their teeth. What we’ve done is go to the local Fulton County School District’s website and download the actual school menu for the Fall Semester of 2018. We went through each menu to see what food options would be provided and what foods kids should avoid and which ones to choose.

Polkadot Pediatric Dentistry Community Work
Alpharetta Christmas Tree Lighting
Polkadot Pediatric Dentistry was proud to support and be apart of the Alpharetta Christmas Tree Lightning. The event was such a fun event for families and we loved to see the Downtown Historic District illuminated with over 10,000 white lights and so many happy faces. The event was full of pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus, holiday performances and, personally our favorite, a Snow Playground!
The event will be happening again this year and we hope to see everyone there!
“All Kids Count” Family 5K
This was a cause that we felt very strongly about supporting. The Foster Care Support Foundation help a 5k to help support the local community. Foster Care Support Foundation helps provide “free clothing, infant equipment and developmental toys to thousands of children in foster and relative care”. The organization hosts many great events including “Prom-A-Palooza” and a Hope 4 Tomorrow Mentoring Program.
