Pediatric Care
Your Child’s First Visit to the Dentist
Your child’s oral health is essential for strong teeth and healthy gums. Healthy primary (baby) teeth allow children to eat nutritional foods, maintain the shape and guide the growth of their jaws, aid in speech development and boost their confidence.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends that a child has their first dental appointment by the time he or she is one year old or after the eruption of the first tooth. This initial dental visit allows us to exam the teeth and the gum tissues, but the main purpose of the visit is to provide education for proper pediatric dental health care. Dental caries, or tooth decay, is one of the most common chronic health condition in children and is one of the main reasons toddlers and young children require to have general anaesthesia.
The good news is that dental caries is completely preventable. At the initial visit, we strive to create a gentle and caring environment where your child can get the attention their teeth deserve, while we provide you with the tools and knowledge that allow you to keep their teeth healthy until they are ready to exfoliate
