Franklin's Snodgrass-King Pediatric Dental Associates Wins 2011 Sizzle Award

FRANKLIN, TN, April 06, 2011

Snodgrass-King Pediatric Dental Associates has once again been recognized as the leading pediatric dentists in Williamson County, Tennessee. "We were very honored to receive this accolade from Franklin Is and Southern Exposure Magazine," said Dr. David Snodgrass, co-founder of Snodgrass-King. This is the fourth year in a row that the Franklin based Snodgrass-King has been recognized for excellence in pediatric dentistry in Williamson County.

The Sizzle Award conferred upon Snodgrass-King was determined by an online poll. "That's what makes this award all the more special," said Dr. David Snodgrass, "for it is our patients taking the time to log on and select us." The online poll in which citizens selected Snodgrass-King is the first of its kind for Williamson County, Tennessee. Those wanting to participate in the online survey can log onto the website FranklinIs.com and cast their votes on everything from "Best Burger" to "Best Veterinarian," explained Snodgrass-King's Dr. David Snodgrass. "My understanding is that in the last few years, the voter number has grown tremendously," commented the Snodgrass-King pediatric dentist.

The award given to Snodgrass-King came into inception five years ago. "The owner and publisher of Southern Exposure Monthly and the editor of the same publication began to notice no clear way to recognize excellence in Williamson County businesses," explained Dr. David Snodgrass of Snodgrass-King. "It was an effort, from my understanding, to help celebrate life and business in Williamson County," explained the Snodgrass-King pediatric dentist. Southern Exposure Magazine, which sponsored the effort that recognized Snodgrass-King, was created more than eight years ago. The Snodgrass-King co-founder stated that Southern Exposure Magazine is published six times a year. "Franklin Is, the other entity that recognized Snodgrass-King, has become the most comprehensive information centers for 'all things Williamson County'," stated Dr. David Snodgrass, adding that, "it's such an honor to have such high caliber organizations recognize our dental practice."

"Something to note about the reward given to Snodgrass-King is that there is only one vote allowed per voter," explained Dr. Snodgrass. Explaining the process, voters can only vote once per email address, said the Snodgrass-King founder. "So there is no voting a hundred times for yourself, and that is why this is such an honor for Snodgrass-King," commented the pediatric dentistry founder.

"This award only fuels our fire and reaffirms the Snodgrass-King passion to continue serving all of our dental patients to the very best of our ability," said Dr. Snodgrass. "Early on, we at Snodgrass-King made a commitment to give children a unique and outstanding experience at the dentist," said the pediatric dental practice's co-founder. "I feel this award not only demonstrates that commitment but will continue to propel Snodgrass-King further in our pursuit of dental excellence," concluded Dr. David Snodgrass.

In addition to co-founding Snodgrass-King, David Snodgrass is a sought-out lecturer, professor and mentor of young pediatric dentists. In addition to their work in Middle Tennessee, Dr. Snodgrass and several of the Snodgrass-King staff have performed, numerous times, charitable work in impoverished areas and offered dental services to those in need.
