For many parents, taking their child to the dentist is a stressful experience, but it doesnt have to be! At Cherokee Childrens Dentistry, each member of our team goes out of their way to ensure our patients feel special and comfortable at each visit. With us, strong, trusting relationships always come first, and then we use them to deliver stellar dental care that creates gorgeous, healthy smiles. To see why so many Canton families already rely on us to take care of their favorite smiles, read on below!
Our dental office is led by multiple board-certified pediatric dentists, which means they have completed years of training focused on meeting the needs of growing smiles in addition to dental school. Theyve spent countless hours with children, so they know how to keep them calm, plus they have plenty of experience helping those with special needs as well. When your child is here, you can breathe easy, because they are in the hands of an expert.
Our dental office is a fun and welcoming place, but we know that many children just dont like going to the dentist. In fact, some are downright terrified! Thats why were happy to offer sedation dentistry for those with persistent dental nerves. The types we use, nitrous oxide and oral conscious (pill), will soothe your child without putting them to sleep, allowing these gentle methods to redefine their relationship with dentistry for the better.
Your child is like no othershouldnt their dental care reflect that? We certainly believe so, which is why we provide such a wide array of services in one location. This allows our team to tailor our approach based on each childs needs to give them the most effective care possible. Unlike the big corporate dental offices, we wont treat your little one like every other childthey deserve special attention, and thats exactly what theyll get here!
Health and safety have always been extremely important at Cherokee Childrens Dentistry, and thats especially true these days. In light of the COVID pandemic, we have updated and strengthened our already strict sanitation and infection control procedures. All of our team members will be wearing the appropriate PPE, weve allowed more time between patients to disinfect our dental office, and were doing much more behind the scenes so you can enjoy peace of mind during your childs visits.

Cherokee Children's Dentistry did very well with my son. They made sure he was comfortable and explained things in a way he understood (he's 6). The office, waiting area, and exam rooms were very clean. The receptionists were very friendly. It was easy to make appointments. I'm very pleased with the way this office runs.

Great experience for an annual checkup. Kind staff and doctor. Just surprised how much is charged for a out-of-network practice, like triple the amounts as our previous out-of-state & out-of-network dentist is about 40.00 less. I recommend checking with your dental insurance prior.

Best dentist we've ever been to. We have an autistic 9 year old daughter and this was the best experience we've ever had and we have been to a LOT of dentists. Highly recommend. All 3 of my children adored this place:)

After having a terrible experience at a previous dentist, Dr. Miles and his team made my five year old not fearful of the dentist. Dr. Miles and his team were very transparent and authentic! He is very knowledgeable and engaged well with my daughter. We feel 100% that he and his team will take the best care of our child during following procedures.

This was my child's 2nd visit to the dentist in a very short time. The first time was a scheduled cleaning and he loved it at first, but then (naturally) was not a fan. Everyone did everything they could to soothe him (and me :P). He has since had some tooth trauma and the tooth was showing a discoloration. I took him in this morning and he saw Dr. Drew! The environment and staff are so welcoming and made him so comfortable he didn't cry or even flinch when they were looking at his tooth! Luckily, he's fine, but it soothed this mama's heart for an easy and quick visit! I appreciate these wonderful people!

We were referred to Cherokee Children's from a different pediatric dentist because they offer in-house sedation (My 3 year old daughter refused to even get in the dentist chair and she needed treatment done). My anxiety was on high alert just thinking about putting my 3 year old through that process but it had to be done & I was completely blown away with Dr. Miles and his staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. My daughter did start out with a fight but they were able to work their magic and totally win her over (and me too!) Dr. Miles isn't rushed and genuinely wants you to understand and be a part of the process! The entire staff seems to authentically care for the well being of their patients. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!

My daughter was so excited to go back for her procedure today simply because of how nice everyone was during her consultation. She walked right in without any hesitation or worry this morning, which made this momma's heart happy. The staff was so kind and accommodating during our time there. Will definitely use them again in the future if needed.

We moved here from FL where we had a great pediatric dentist. The bar was set high. After asking a few friends about where to go that is "child friendly", Cherokee Children's Dentistry came up several times. They are WONDERUL! From the front desk when I called to make our initial appointment to the first visit and now, a follow up with my youngest having a filling. This office really takes the time to talk to you like a person they want to get to know. And I love how they ask me and my children if they have questions. That part is important to me as I am teaching my older two (13 and 11) to speak up and ask questions about their own health and self care.

We were referred to Dr. Drew's office because my child needed sedation. Dr. Drew was amazing! She was thorough and took the time with me! My child was not scared at all even after sedation. I can tell she truly cares about her patients and wants the best for them! She offered me multiple options and allowed me to choose what I felt was best for my child. Additionally, following my daughter's treatment, she answered questions for me about another issue. She personally called to check on my daughter at the end of the day. During the procedure, one of the staff members came and got me from my car (Covid) and told me my child was doing great and allowed me to go back with her to peak in. The entire staff was wonderful! This is a great dentist and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in need of dental care for their children!

Both doctors worked on 2 of my kids today and they both were very thorough with explanations about what was being done and what the kids could expect. I was very pleased with the care my kids received and how well the office staff treated us.

If anyone needs a dentist for their child, go to Cherokee Children's Dentistry no RUN to them. I cannot say enough good things about them. We were referred to them for having to get cavities filled for my 3year old son. They were AMAZING!!! 5 stars all the way! They take care of your babies. They are extremely welcoming and so sweet. They are people who love their job and it shows 100%. They want you to understand the whole process and take time to answer questions and talk to you. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby and easing my worry. Dr. Drew even called after hours this evening to check on my son.

Our son has EXTREME anxiety with dental work. Despite that he had to have a lot of work done. I am sure Dr Miles and his team had a very difficult time. He was honest but also still so positive about our son. We know how hard it must have been! They accomplished everything needed and we are beyond grateful for them.
