Grammar
Proper punctuation
I have a pediatric dentistry practice and we are wondering if we have used the proper punctuation in our slogan. Should it be:
"Kids need a kids dentist" or
"Kids need a kid's dentist" ?
"Kids need a kids dentist" or
"Kids need a kid's dentist" ?

Actually, you are right if you use any of these: Kids need a kids dentist. Kids need a kid's dentist. Kids need a kids' dentist.
- Actually, you are right if you use any of these: Kids need a kids dentist.
- Kids need a kid's dentist.
- Kids need a kids' dentist.
- I think the last is the most appropriate, but if I can be frank, I don't think much of the slogan.
- It's too much the truism.
