The center operates with a clear mission: to promote excellent oral health habits and instill a love for dental care from an early age. They aim to make dental visits enjoyable and encourage children to prioritize their dental health throughout their lives. The clinic is led by Dr. Stephen Girdlestone, a board-certified pediatric dentist with extensive experience in treating the unique needs of infants, children, and adolescents. Dr. Girdlestone is passionate about educating families on oral healthcare and strives to ensure all his patients meet the healthcare standard for preventing dental caries, which is the number one preventable disease in children.

They emphasize preventive care and age-appropriate oral hygiene education for both children and their parents. The clinic also utilizes state-of-the-art technology, such as digital X-rays (which reduce radiation exposure and are environmentally friendly by being paperless and chartless), and offers in-office and outpatient sedation options to ensure comfort for anxious children. The team at Canton Pediatric Dental Center is praised in reviews for being friendly, patient, and compassionate. They strive to create a relaxed and welcoming environment, often incorporating elements like flat-screen televisions in every room and allowing children to make simple decisions during their visit to reduce anxiety. They believe in fostering a "dental home" where families feel supported and children feel at ease. The center accepts most insurance plans and participates in programs like Care Credit and Yes, You Can Program to assist families with financial needs.
