Cherokee Children's Dentistry

Cherokee Children's Dentistry is a premier pediatric dental practice located in Canton, Georgia, dedicated to providing specialized, compassionate, and engaging dental care for infants, children, and teenagers. Founded by Dr. Miles Mazzawi and Dr. Anthea Drew Mazzawi, who were the first pediatric dentists in Canton, the practice emphasizes a "families treating families" approach, extending a warm and welcoming environment that often feels more like a home than a dental office. The practice is distinguished by its team of board-certified pediatric dentists, who have undergone extensive additional training beyond dental school specifically focused on the unique dental needs of growing smiles, including those with special needs. This expertise ensures that children receive the highest quality of care tailored to their individual requirements. Cherokee Children's Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of services, encompassing preventive care such as checkups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants, as well as restorative procedures like tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, and pulp therapy. They also provide emergency dental services, early interceptive orthodontics, and tooth extractions when necessary. Understanding that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many children, they offer sedation dentistry options, including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, to help soothe nerves and create a positive experience. A core philosophy of Cherokee Children's Dentistry is the prevention of dental disease through education and early treatment. They actively engage both children and parents in learning about proper oral hygiene, explaining procedures in child-friendly terms and using fun nicknames like "sugar bugs" for cavities. The office environment itself is designed to be cheerful and calming, featuring murals, TVs above every chair, and a staff adept at connecting with children on their level, discussing their interests to build rapport. The practice prides itself on building strong, trusting relationships with its young patients, aiming to redefine their perception of dentistry from something to be feared to an enjoyable and important part of their overall health. They encourage parents to establish a "dental home" for their children by their first birthday to lay the foundation for lifelong healthy habits. Cherokee Children's Dentistry is committed to the well-being of the Canton community, striving to make a positive impact by fostering healthy smiles and empowering families with the knowledge to maintain optimal oral health.
