Convenient Access from Pardew
Few homes in the city sit as close to Sandlin Dental as the houses on Pardew Street. Our office on Red Wolf Boulevard in Jonesboro is about a 1-minute drive or a 9-minute walk away, which makes us the most convenient dentist near Pardew for checkups, gum care, fillings and the occasional dental surprise. Dr. Jacob Sandlin and our small team handle all of it under one roof, a few blocks from your door.
From the south end of Pardew Street, turn east on East Nettleton Avenue and follow it to Red Wolf Boulevard (US 49 / AR 1). Go south on the boulevard for a short stretch and turn onto Forest Home Road; the whole trip covers about 0.4 miles. You pass the familiar row of Walgreens, Food Smart and Andy's Frozen Custard on the way, and the Target and Walmart Neighborhood Market of the Turtle Creek shopping area sit just beyond us. We are at 1699 Red Wolf Blvd, Jonesboro, AR 72401, on the west side of the boulevard between Forest Home Road and Driftwood Lane (open our listing in Google Maps).
Walkers have a quieter option. The walking path runs along East Nettleton Avenue, through short connector paths to Larkwood Drive and then onto Forest Home Road, which keeps you off the busy boulevard for most of the trip.

Pardew Street, One Block Behind the Boulevard
Pardew is not an official neighborhood on any City of Jonesboro map, and we would rather say so plainly. It is a short residential street that runs north from East Nettleton Avenue to Stallings Lane, parallel to Red Wolf Boulevard and just west of it. People use the name loosely for the pocket of streets around it, including Oakdale, Primrose, Stone, Neil, Tony and Larkwood.
Those streets are lined with detached houses tucked behind the shops and restaurants that face the boulevard. Turtle Creek and its drainage laterals wind through this part of east Jonesboro in Craighead County, and the city itself sits up on Crowley's Ridge. The result is a quiet street grid with a major highway a block away, heading north toward A-State and south toward I-555.
For a Pardew household, that layout turns a dental appointment into an errand rather than an outing. A cleaning, a crown fitting or a quick bite adjustment fits between other plans instead of eating a whole morning. That is a real advantage, because good dental care is mostly about showing up on schedule.
Why Living Close Helps Pardew Patients Stay Ahead of Problems
Most dental trouble starts small and quiet. A cavity found at a routine visit usually needs a simple filling, while the same spot left for a couple of years can reach the nerve. Gum disease behaves the same way, beginning with puffy or bleeding gums long before anything hurts.
The fix for both is consistency, and distance is one of the biggest reasons people skip visits. When the office is a 1-minute drive from Pardew Street, the usual excuses shrink. Six-month cleanings, gum maintenance visits and short follow-ups after a filling become easy to keep.
Timing matters too. We see patients Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and close for lunch from noon to 1:00 PM. A 1:00 PM or late-morning slot pairs neatly with a midday break from work, especially when home is only a few blocks away.
When something breaks, being close counts most. A loose crown, a cracked filling or a sudden toothache is easier to handle when the office is down the street. We offer same-day emergency care when our schedule allows.
Everyday Care From a Dentist Near Pardew
Preventive Dentistry
Exams and professional cleanings, usually every six months, are the backbone of healthy teeth. For Pardew families, a checkup takes about an hour, plus a minute of driving each way.
Periodontal Care
Swollen or bleeding gums are a reason to come in, not something to wait out. We diagnose and treat gum disease and set a maintenance rhythm that is easy to keep from just up the street.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges and other repairs rebuild teeth that have worn down or broken. Digital scanners replace messy impression trays, so a crown appointment is more comfortable from the first step.
Root Canal Therapy
A throbbing tooth that keeps you up at night may have an infected pulp. Treatment cleans out the inner canals with the help of digital imaging, then a filling or crown seals the tooth so you keep it.
Emergency Dentistry
Severe toothaches, swelling, broken crowns and lost restorations all count as dental emergencies. Pardew patients can call us first thing and be in the chair quickly when a slot is open.
Small cavities are the most common thing we treat for neighbors. Our page on dental fillings explains how a minor spot is cleaned out and sealed before it grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Sandlin Dental from Pardew, and how do I get there?
Sandlin Dental is about 0.4 miles from Pardew Street, roughly a 1-minute drive or a 9-minute walk. Take East Nettleton Avenue east to Red Wolf Boulevard, head south and turn onto Forest Home Road. Few residents have a dentist near Pardew this close, so even a short follow-up visit fits easily into the day.
Can I walk to my appointment from Pardew?
Yes, the walk takes about 9 minutes. The walking path follows East Nettleton Avenue, cuts through short connector paths to Larkwood Drive and finishes on Forest Home Road. That keeps you off Red Wolf Boulevard for most of the way. Allow a few extra minutes if you are walking after a numbing injection and want to take it slow.
How long does a routine checkup and cleaning take?
Plan on about an hour. That time covers the exam, the cleaning and any x-rays that are due, plus a few minutes to talk through anything Dr. Sandlin notices. Most adults and children need this visit about every six months, though people with gum concerns sometimes come in more often for maintenance cleanings.
Is it worth fixing a small cavity that does not hurt yet?
Yes, a small cavity is the cheapest and simplest one you will ever treat. Decay keeps spreading through the softer layer under the enamel, often without pain, until it reaches the nerve. At that point a basic filling may turn into a crown or root canal therapy. Treating it early keeps more of your natural tooth.
What should I do if a filling falls out?
Call us and keep the area clean until you can come in. Rinse gently with warm water, avoid chewing on that side and skip very hot, cold or sticky foods. A lost filling leaves the tooth open to decay and fracture, so it should be replaced soon. We offer same-day emergency care when our schedule allows.
