Dr. Ashok Kumar, DDS

Pediatric dentistry often feels like a separate world from the rest of family healthcare. Kids need a different approach—gentler tools, shorter appointments, and a setting that doesn’t trigger the same anxiety as an adult clinic. Dr. Ashok Kumar, DDS specializes in exactly that, offering routine checkups, sealants, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic evaluations without the clinical stiffness of general dentistry.

You’ll find the practice at 555 S 18th St Columbus, OH 43205, in a neighborhood where sidewalks still connect small parks and corner stores. The area has a quiet, residential feel, with tree-lined streets that make it easier for parents to park and walk in without the stress of downtown traffic. It’s the kind of place where families return year after year, not because they have to, but because the visits become part of their routine.

Cleanings, cavity fillings, and space maintainers are handled with the same attention to detail, though the real difference lies in how the team explains each step. Parents can call (614) 722-4579 to schedule an appointment or ask about emergency care for knocked-out baby teeth—something every parent dreads but few plan for.
