Firefly Children's Dentistry

Firefly Children's Dentistry is a dedicated pediatric dental clinic located at 10005 Fremont Pike, Perrysburg, OH 43551. The practice is specifically designed to cater to the unique dental needs of infants, school-aged children, and adolescents, treating patients from birth up to 18 years of age. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child's first dental visit should be by 6 months but no later than one year, a guideline Firefly Children's Dentistry advocates. The clinic prides itself on offering a gentle, kind, and friendly environment, understanding that each child has unique needs, including those with complex medical conditions. Their team undergoes extensive training in behavior management to ensure a positive experience for all young patients. Services provided include comprehensive preventative dentistry such as checkups and cleanings, dental radiographs, fluoride treatments, sports guards, and sealants to protect against cavities. For restorative needs, they offer crowns, tooth-colored fillings, silver diamine fluoride, spacers, extractions, and nerve/pulp treatments. They also provide various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and general anesthesia, to ensure comfort during procedures. Firefly Children's Dentistry aims to make dental visits enjoyable, often incorporating kid-friendly décor and an engaging atmosphere. They prioritize patient and parent education, offering guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, prevention strategies, breaking unfavorable oral habits, and encouraging balanced diets for optimal oral health. While they accept most PPO insurance plans, they are not in-network with Medicaid or other state-funded programs, but do offer new patient specials for those without accepted insurance. Dr. Sarah Aref is one of the key pediatric dentists associated with the practice in Perrysburg, OH.
