Frankly, sometimes the dentist is the last person your child cares to visit. The dentist's office can be a fearful place for a child. Habits formed as children are habits retained as adults. The atmosphere at Dr. Lee Cope's office invites children and adolescents to enjoy their visits to the dentist. From the waiting room with toys for the little ones and TV for the older ones, to the examination areas with its comfortable colors and wholesome music, Dr. Cope's patients can relax while his highly trained staff performs their duties.
Dr. Cope has been in pediatric dentistry since 1978. He graduated with honors from the University of Tennessee School of Dentistry and performed his residency at Children's hospital in Cincinnati, the largest children's hospital in the United States. Dr. Cope moved to Jackson, MS in 1980 and began his private practice, specializing in pediatric and special needs patients. He has also served on the faculty at the University of Mississippi Dental School for the past 22 years where he enjoys teaching and mentoring future dentists. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, the Mississippi Dental Association, the Mississippi Society of Pediatric Dentists, the American Orthodontic Society, the Gnathos Orthodontic study group, and lastly the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists. Dentistry is just one of the activities that Dr. Cope enjoys- his family, church, and other hobbies keep him very busy. Dr. Cope has been married for almost 30 years and has 4 children. Three of his children are attending college pursuing various types of health related degrees and the youngest is in high school keeping Dr. Cope on his toes with sporting events and hunting on the weekends. Dr. Cope devotes much of this time and his talents to those who are in need of not only dental care, but also hope and an encouraging word. He has been actively involved in mission work on the local, national, and international level. He has participated in medical/dental mission trips to Honduras and Belize, and he currently volunteers regularly at the West Park Clinic for Christ in downtown Jackson. He is actively involved at the First Baptist Church in Jackson, MS where he serves as a deacon and senior high Sunday school teacher. Dr. Cope is also involved in Mission First.

In what time he has left, Dr. Cope can be found running with his dog Molly, kayaking, playing basketball, working on different projects around the house, or spending time in the woods hunting. Dr. Cope's love for children and their health is what makes him tick. His attention to detail and the comfort of the patient -- however young -- is the foundation upon which his practice is built. Your children's dental health is foundational to a lifetime of winsome smiles. Why trust anyone else?

Speaking
of his staff... they are more like a team! Each one radiates a
warmth and charm which would disarm even the most nervous of
patients. While they are completely serious about their jobs, they
are just as serious about the well-being of their patients. Every
task is professionally performed under the watchful eye of Dr. Cope.
Oh,
and about the frogs... Ask Dr. Cope and he'll tell you one of his
patients gave him this frog as a gift. He displayed the gift with
pride in his office. Other patients noticed his delight and also
gave him frogs. Big ones. Little ones. Fanciful
ones. Realistic ones. Real ones, too! So now, there are
hundreds of frogs decorating the office, making it an interesting place
for children (and adults) to wait in wonder. The idea worked so well
he enlisted the help of the Smile Inspector, a larger-than-life frog to
entertain visiting children. While it is entertaining, it is
educational, too. The children love it!
