Brian Wah, DDS
"Dr. Brian” Wah is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist serving the greater Franklin area. He attended the University of Tennessee for dental school, and afterwards completed a General Practice residency in Bronx, New York. After his residency, he received his specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at Northwell Health/Staten Island University Hospital in Staten Island, New York. Ask him where his favorite restaurants in New York!
Board Certification has always been a goal of Dr. Brian and he believes that Diplomat status is one of the highest honors in the field of Pediatric Dentistry. He desires to provide evidence based dentistry and individualized treatment plans for each child. He stays to date with the latest dental technology, uses computer-based charts and digital X-rays to make patient education easier. Dr. Brian understands how important it is for a child to be supported in their dental care, so he encourages parents to become engaged in their child’s oral health and to ask questions when they arise.
Originally from the Memphis area, Dr. Brian loves to go and try new foods! He and Bud travel to eat. Dr. Brian is up for almost any cuisine, as long as it's not moving. Even if it does move, he will probably still try it! Bud's favorite meal is a Costco or Sam's Club Hot Dog and a puppuccino when he's been a really good dog! He may have to go on a little diet after all the food tastings!
In his spare time, Dr. Brian enjoys playing basketball, table tennis, and swimming. Dr. Brian is an avid Razorbacks fan, and he will cheer on the Hogs whenever he gets a chance. He also enjoys playing with his Corgi, Bud.
Bud is kid-friendly and is the official office dog. He enjoys long walks on the beach, eating and belly rubs! We think he is more popular with the kids than Dr. Brian. He always takes his afternoon nap, but when he is not catching up on his beauty sleep, he would love to see your smiling faces!
