Pediatric Dentistry

The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children are seen by a dentist six months after their first tooth comes in, or at one year of age.  Dental disease can impact the total well-being of a child and is mostly preventable.

Examinations at an early age can help detect problems early and will allow the dental team to provide important information regarding diet and home care that can go a long way in keeping your child decay-free for life.  At this early visit, the dentist will assess the risk of dental disease, initiate a preventative program and provide anticipatory guidance on issues concerning oral hygiene, diet, and fluoride use.   It will also establish a dental home for the child where future dental care may be provided to ensure good oral health.
