The Tooth Whisperer: Why Dr. Jason Vogt Is Davidson County’s Top Kids’ Dentist

For parents, few decisions feel as important as choosing the right dentist for your child. After all, you’re trusting someone with not just your child’s smile, but also their comfort and confidence. If you ask parents across Davidson County who they trust most, one name comes up again and again: Dr. Jason Vogt.

Recently voted Best Kids’ Dentist in Davidson County, Dr. Vogt has earned a reputation not just for his exceptional skill, but also for his warmth, humor, and the way he makes children genuinely enjoy going to the dentist. With his trademark magic tricks, easy laugh, and a quiet confidence honed through years of service at home and abroad, Dr. Vogt embodies what every parent hopes for: a dentist who treats kids like his own.

Service Around the World

Long before he became the beloved “Tooth Whisperer” to Middle Tennessee families, Dr. Vogt was serving children and families in some of the most underserved corners of the globe.

A native of small-town Nebraska, Dr. Vogt began his dental career after completing his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and pediatric residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He then went on to serve more than 22 years in the U.S. military, where his skills were put to use on humanitarian missions delivering dental care to children and families who otherwise had no access to treatment.

“Those years taught me so much—not just about dentistry, but about patience, humility, and how much of a difference a smile can make,” he says. “It really inspired the way I practice today.”

A Community Favorite

These days, Dr. Vogt has traded the desert and jungle for the cheerful, kid-friendly offices of Grin Doctors in Old Hickory and Wild About Smiles in Murfreesboro and Tullahoma, where he is a proud co-owner of both practices. Together with his team, he’s created environments where children feel safe, understood, and—even more surprising—excited about dental visits.

And parents have noticed. Over the past several years, Dr. Vogt and his practices have received numerous regional honors, including Best of Parenting, The Ruthies, Main Street Awards, and this year’s crowning achievement: being named the Best Kids’ Dentist in Davidson County.

“We’re incredibly grateful to the families who trust us,” he says. “It’s the greatest compliment to know that parents not only choose us but recommend us to their friends and neighbors.”

The Dad Who Gets It

Part of what makes Dr. Vogt so relatable to both parents and children is his own experience as a father of three. Married for over 25 years and an unapologetic family man, he understands both the anxieties parents feel about their child’s health and the small victories that make a difference.

“I’ve been on both sides of the chair,” he laughs. “I know how hard it is when your kid is nervous or scared, and I also know how incredible it feels when they walk out proud of themselves for being brave.”

That understanding translates into a gentle touch, kid-level communication, and an easygoing presence that puts young patients at ease.

Beyond Brushing: A Mission for Excellence

Dr. Vogt is quick to credit his military experience for his relentless drive to improve himself and his practice. “The military instills in you this idea that good enough is never good enough,” he explains. “I’m always looking for ways to learn, grow, and offer better care. Kids deserve nothing less than the best we can give.”

Whether that means staying on the cutting edge of pediatric techniques or simply remembering the names of his little patients’ pets, it’s clear that Dr. Vogt sees dentistry as more than a job—it’s his calling.

Why Parents Choose Dr. Vogt

So why do so many parents in Davidson County and beyond choose Dr. Vogt for their children’s dental care?

• His unmatched expertise, backed by decades of training and real-world experience.
• His commitment to creating positive, even fun, dental experiences for kids.
• His standing as a trusted co-owner of two highly regarded pediatric dental practices.
• His proven record of excellence, recognized by parents and peers alike.

And maybe, most of all, because he makes kids smile—not just after their cleaning, but while they’re in the chair, too.

A Smile They’ll Carry Forever

As Dr. Vogt likes to say, “Every healthy smile starts with trust.” For families across Middle Tennessee, that trust is well-placed in a dentist who has dedicated his life to helping kids feel confident, cared for, and ready to face the world—one bright smile at a time.
