Bud
Chief Belly Rub Officer
Bud is the longest tenured employee at Nashville Pediatric Dentistry.
When he’s not busy catching up on his beauty sleep, Bud loves welcoming our little patients with a wagging tail and plenty of love.
His favorite things? Belly rubs, playing fetch, long walks on the beach, and, of course, treats!
If Bud drops his ball at your feet, consider it an invitation to play! He might even be more popular with the kids than Dr. Brian. Bud takes his afternoon naps very seriously, but when he’s awake, he can’t wait to see your smiling faces!
