Essential Dentistry for Kids

Taking your child to the dentist doesn’t have to be a stressful experience! At OHIOSmiles, Dr. Antalis and her team are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care for children of all ages in Cambridge, OH, and the surrounding southeastern Ohio region.

Our friendly and welcoming environment ensures young patients feel comfortable while receiving the best in preventive care and treatment. From routine dental exams and cleanings to specialized services like orthodontic evaluations, we offer comprehensive dentistry for kids to keep your child’s smile healthy and bright.

Dental Exams & Cleanings

Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. We carefully check for cavities, gum health, and dental care needs. Our Cambridge team helps children learn the importance of brushing and flossing, empowering them to establish healthy habits early.

Dental X-Rays

Our advanced dental X-rays provide detailed images of your child’s teeth and jaw to identify potential issues such as hidden cavities or abnormal tooth development. These images ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and protect against cavities. By applying fluoride during your child’s visit, we offer an additional layer of protection, which is especially important for young patients prone to decay.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a simple, effective way to prevent cavities. These thin coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s molars, creating a barrier against bacteria and plaque buildup.

Dental Fillings

Cavities are a common concern for young patients, but our gentle approach ensures your child feels at ease during dental fillings. We use safe and durable materials to restore your child’s teeth to health and functionality.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns protect and restore function for severely decayed or damaged teeth. We offer pediatric crowns that are durable and designed to fit comfortably, helping preserve your child’s oral health.

Pediatric Root Canal Treatment

When decay or trauma affects the tooth’s nerve, a pediatric root canal treatment can save the tooth and prevent further infection. Dr. Antalis carefully removes the damaged tissue and restores the tooth to preserve your child’s smile.

Tooth Extractions

If a baby tooth needs to be removed due to crowding, decay, or trauma, our gentle approach to tooth extractions ensures minimal discomfort for your child. We prioritize preserving their overall oral health and comfort.

Space Maintainers

When a child loses a baby tooth prematurely, space maintainers ensure adjacent teeth stay in their proper positions. This prevents crowding and alignment issues as permanent teeth emerge.

Habit Appliances

Thumb-sucking and tongue-thrusting can impact your child’s oral development. Our custom habit appliances are designed to help break these habits and promote proper jaw alignment and tooth positioning.

Orthodontic Evaluations

Early orthodontic evaluations are crucial for identifying potential alignment or bite issues. Dr. Antalis assesses your child’s oral development to determine if intervention, such as braces or clear aligners, might be beneficial.

Pediatric Sedation Dentistry

We offer pediatric sedation dentistry for children with dental anxiety or special needs to ensure a calm and stress-free experience. Dr. Antalis provides safe sedation options tailored to your child’s needs, making their dental care as comfortable as possible.

Emergency Care

When accidents happen, emergency dental care is just a phone call away. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or dental trauma, Dr. Antalis and our team are here to provide prompt care and relief.
