Child Dentistry

Child Dentistry

We provide a fun, amiable, and supportive environment where children of all ages, from infants to young adults, are treated with kindness. We want every child to feel welcomed, heard, and valued — and to grow up eager to care for their smile!

The first visit to the dentist for a child should be enjoyable. Children do not have a natural fear of the dentist, but they do have a fear of the unknown. Our office makes a concerted effort to describe each therapy in a pleasant, non-frightening, and straightforward manner. We want you and your child to feel at ease the moment you walk into our office.

Dentistry Recommends when new teeth arrive:

Your child's primary, or "baby," teeth will appear between the ages of six and twelve months, and will continue to appear until around the age of three. Your child's gums may feel tender and sore during this time. We suggest that you soothe the gums with a clean finger or a cool, wet cloth to help relieve the discomfort. You may also want to use a teething ring.

All through childhood, your child's primary teeth will fall out at various times. Permanent teeth begin to erupt at the age of six and continue until the age of 21. Adults have a total of 28 permanent teeth (32, teeth including wisdom teeth).

Children should go to the dentist by the time they reach the age of one. It is essential that your child's newly erupted teeth (which appear between the ages of six and twelve months) receive adequate dental care and benefit from proper oral hygiene habits from the start.

To get healthy oral hygiene for Kids:

Examine your child's teeth every two weeks as they emerge, looking for lines and discoloration that could be caused by decay. Sugary foods and liquids can cause tooth decay in a new tooth, so make sure your child brushes his or her teeth after feeding or eating. Brushing twice a day is recommended for optimal oral hygiene.

Brushing can be enjoyable, and your child should begin brushing as soon as the first tooth appears. When a baby's first tooth appears, parents should brush it with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Fluoride toothpaste should not be used on children under the age of two unless advised to do so by a dentist or other healthcare professional. We recommend that you go over proper tooth brushing techniques with your child.

Flossing is also an essential part of good oral hygiene habits, and your dentist will advise you on the best time to begin flossing your child's teeth. Contact your dentist right away if you notice any signs of decay.

Preventing Children from Tooth Decay:

Tooth decay is caused by sugars left in your mouth, which react to form acid, which can erode your teeth. Children are especially vulnerable to tooth decay for one simple reason: many children and adolescents do not practise regular, good oral hygiene habits. Brushing and flossing routines, along with regular dental visits, help to keep tooth decay at bay.

Every six months, your child should visit the dentist for regular dental cleanings and check-ups. To keep teeth as strong as possible, we recommend fluoride treatments twice a year, in addition to cleanings. Tooth sealants are also advised because they "seal" the deep grooves in your child's teeth, preventing decay in these difficult-to-reach areas. Sealants are meant to last for several years, but they will be checked at your child's regular check-ups.
