About This Service
What Is Children's Dentistry?
Children's dentistry — also known as pediatric dentistry — focuses on the unique oral health needs of children from infancy through adolescence. It's more than just treating cavities; it's about building a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles through preventive care, early intervention, developmental guidance, and creating positive dental experiences.

Space Maintainers
When baby teeth are lost prematurely, space maintainers preserve room for permanent teeth to erupt, ensuring proper alignment and bite development.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect young smiles during sports and physical activities, preventing dental injuries and trauma.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to cavities and supporting healthy tooth development.
Preventive Cleanings
Regular checkups and cleanings keep little teeth clean and healthy while building positive dental habits.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The Canadian Dental Association recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit within six months of their first tooth erupting or by their first birthday — whichever comes first.
Talk positively about the dentist, let them choose a small reward for good behavior, arrive early so they can settle in, and be patient and understanding with their fears.
Watch for white spots on teeth, persistent bad breath, difficulty chewing or swallowing, bleeding gums, frequent mouth sores, and changes in their bite.
