Healthy Smiles, Happy Parents
At Ash Family Dental, we know how apprehensive kids can be when it comes to visiting the children’s dentist. That’s why our team is committed to creating a comfortable environment for dental treatment while educating them on the importance of oral hygiene. It is our goal in Canton Ohio to build the foundation of your child’s oral health and set them up for lifelong success.
Promoting Children’s Oral Health with Preventive Care
Introducing your baby to a pediatric dentist at the age of one sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Early dentist visits are vital for identifying potential oral health issues, such as cavities, and offer a chance to educate parents on the best practices for home dental care. Pediatric specialists understand the unique challenges that come with children’s dental health, emphasizing preventive treatments to ward off future problems. Regular visits also help children feel comfortable in the dentist’s office, making each dental appointment relaxing and stress-free for both child and parent.
Preventive dental care is key to preserving children’s healthy smiles. Our Canton children’s dentist ensures every visit is designed to make kids and parents comfortable. Through professional cleanings and fluoride treatments, pediatric specialists protect young teeth from decay and cavities. Routine visits offer children treatments that head off oral health issues, fostering a bright smile that endures. Educating families about at-home care is integral to this process; we strive to instill outstanding oral hygiene habits in children that they can carry into adulthood. Ash Family Dental prioritizes Pediatric Dentistry to help maintain healthy teeth and smiles for all children.

Overcoming Dental Anxiety with Compassionate Care

With sedation options available, children who require additional assistance to ease their fears can achieve a relaxed state, ensuring that necessary dental procedures are carried out smoothly and safely.
Stainless Steel Crowns
When a baby tooth is extensively decayed and using other filling materials isn’t likely to be successful, we recommend restoring the tooth with a stainless steel crown. After removing the decay, your dentist will fit and cement a prefabricated crown made of stainless steel over the tooth. Stainless steel crowns are less likely to require retreatment, are highly durable, and offer full-coverage protection for the tooth, ensuring healthy teeth.
Root Canals
If the pulp of the tooth is involved in a filling or stainless steel crown procedure, the dentist may also need to perform pulpal therapy before placing the filling or crown. But rest assured it is quite common, even for young permanent teeth. Pulpal therapy is needed when a tooth’s pulp is infected, impacting the nerves in the tooth. During the procedure, we remove the infected pulp, disinfect the canals to eliminate any remaining bacteria, and fill the tooth with a medicated material to protect against further damage.

Our commitment to personalized dental care for children with special needs ensures they receive unparalleled oral health services in a supportive clinic setting.
