How We Earn Their Trust

We sincerely hope to earn the trust and confidence of every patient that walks through our door, especially our youngest patients. Our dental office is designed to be safe and kid friendly, and our staff are well trained to handle children of all ages.

We are big on the tell-show-do philosophy. We always show children what we are about to do before we go ahead with the procedure. Once kids gain the trust with you, they will never let go.

 

When is the best time?


According to the Canadian Dental Association, it is recommended that children see a dentist six months after their first tooth appears or before their first birthday.

Ensuring that your child sees a dentist so early in his/her life is crucial to introduce the child to the environment. They learn very early on a visit to the dentist can be easy, and this goes a long way to achieving a good oral health routine.

As parents you may also have many questions. The recommended type of toothbrush, toothpaste, drinking water and so on - we are here to simplify your life!

 

But it's only baby teeth...


Actually primary teeth are just as important as permanent teeth - if not even more so! It is always a good idea to have a dentist monitor the growth of your child's teeth. This ensures the teeth are coming out when they are supposed to and if they are in the correct position. The first set of teeth play a big part in both your child's nutrition and speech development, in addition to prepping them for the arrival of their permanent teeth.
