Dental Treatments for Children

Should your child have any signs of tooth decay, we recommend treating it before it spreads to other teeth. If care is delayed, it can impact the health or eruption of adult teeth underneath.

A small filling, pulpotomy or even a crown can help you to preserve your child’s tooth so that it is not lost prematurely. However, if a baby tooth does need to be pulled, we will recommend a space maintainer to accommodate proper tooth spacing. Some of our children’s dental treatments include:

Dental Checkups – Our gentle children’s dentist enjoys working with kids of all ages. We make their checkup fun, so they look forward to seeing us again.
Gentle Cleanings – Gentle cleans remove any plaque and ensure your child’s teeth and gums are strong and healthy.
Fissure Sealants – Dental Fissure sealants may be required if your child’s back molars have deep grooves, or if they are at risk of a cavity.
Fillings – Our dental fillings are safe, non-toxic and gentle for children. If your child has a cavity, it’s important to treat it right away.
Fluoride Treatments – Our safe fluoride treatments help the children’s enamel stay healthy and strong.
Mouthguards – If your child plays contact sport, we can safeguard their smile with a custom sports mouthguard. They can even pick their favourite colour!

Schedule a Checkup and Clean Every Six Months

Most of our healthy patients benefit from a preventative clean every six months. These visits allow us to intervene before problems have a chance to become more involved or expensive to treat.

We will share vital nutritional and oral hygiene information with you so that you can help your child experience the best dental health possible.
