I went to my doctor today.

I have been coughing at night. I cough so bad for the last few days that Mom had to call my pediatrician to schedule and appointment.

We waited for over an hour in the waiting room before we were being called to go to the examining room. We waited some more before the doctor came and checked me.

The doctor told Mom and Nana that I have a sinus infection but other than that, I am fine. I had an antibiotic to take for 5 days. I got two lollipops after the doctor checked me.

This is my dentist at Birmingham Pediatric Dental Care.

Dr. Frederick B. Smith, a University of Alabama graduate attended the University of Alabama School of Dentistry receiving a Doctor of dental medicine degree. During a tour of duty in the United States Army he served as the school dentist in the Pattonville Housing Area Elementary School in Germany. On his return to the states, he attended the graduate program of University of North Carolina School of Dentistry and received a masters degree in pediatric dentistry. Upon graduation he moved to Birmingham and taught in the UAB School of Dentistry and was the director of the division of dentistry at Sparks Center for developmental disorders. There he taught in the field of dentistry for the developmentally disabled. In 1974 Dr. Smith entered private practice with an emphasis on providing hospital dental care for children. He is on the active staff at The Children’s Hospital of Alabama.
He and his wife have two adult sons, five grandchildren, and one dog. His office is located in the Southside of Birmingham adjacent to the UAB campus.
