About Children's Dentistry
Children's dentistry focuses on preventive care and early treatment tailored to growing teeth and developing habits. Catching issues early and building positive associations with dental visits helps set children up for a lifetime of healthy teeth.
Our Children's Dentistry Services
Sealants and Fluoride Treatment
Sealants create a protective barrier over the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form, while fluoride treatment strengthens enamel to help resist decay.
Space Maintainers
When a baby tooth is lost too early, a space maintainer holds the gap open so surrounding teeth do not shift, allowing the permanent tooth room to come in properly.
Fillings and Dental Cavities
Cavities are common in growing children, and we treat them gently with tooth coloured fillings, explaining every step in simple, reassuring language.
Preventive Dental Care
Regular checkups, cleanings, and guidance on brushing and diet habits help set children up for a lifetime of healthy teeth and fewer dental problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
Most dentists recommend a first visit by age one or when the first tooth appears, whichever comes first, to start tracking healthy development early.
Are dental sealants safe for kids?
Yes. Sealants are a safe, well established preventive treatment that has been used for decades to protect children's teeth from cavities.
What happens if my child loses a baby tooth too early?
We may recommend a space maintainer to hold the gap open, preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting and allowing room for the permanent tooth to come in correctly.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Most children benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months, similar to adults, though we may recommend more frequent visits if your child is cavity prone.
Is children's dentistry covered by insurance or CDCP?
Most preventive treatments for children are covered under standard dental insurance and the Canadian Dental Care Plan. We offer direct billing to make the process simple for parents.
