A child's smile is one of the most precious gifts, and we care for it with the attention it deserves.
Children have unique dental needs and their first experience at the dentist can shape their relationship with oral health for life. Our team handles the dental concerns of childhood, from the first tooth to the permanent teeth, and guides children and parents on hygiene, nutrition and healthy habits.
Common pediatric treatments
Because a dental clinic can feel intimidating to little ones, we have created a friendly, welcoming environment where every child feels safe.
Prophylaxis and cleanings
Regular cleanings remove tartar and plaque, preventing decay and gum disease.
Fluoride application
Fluoride strengthens enamel, making it more resistant to acid and reducing the risk of decay.
Sealants
A protective coating placed on the chewing surfaces of permanent back teeth to prevent decay.
Treatment of decay
This may include fillings, crowns or pulp treatments such as pulpectomies in affected baby teeth.
Interceptive orthodontics
Corrects bite or alignment problems early, often with removable or fixed appliances.
Space maintainers
If a baby tooth is lost early, a space maintainer keeps neighbouring teeth from shifting and blocking the permanent tooth.
Dental injuries
Children are prone to accidents; treating fractured, displaced or knocked-out teeth is common in pediatric dentistry.
Oral hygiene education
We teach children proper brushing and flossing and advise on healthy eating habits.
What does a child's check-up include?
A chat with the family about habits and history, an examination of every tooth and the gums, an assessment of bite and growth, a clean if needed and hygiene advice for the child's age. If something needs treatment, we usually book a separate short appointment.
Do cavities in baby teeth need treating?
Yes. Decay in a baby tooth can hurt, become infected and affect the permanent tooth forming underneath. Baby teeth also hold space for the permanent ones; losing them early can disrupt eruption.
What should I do if my child knocks out or breaks a tooth?
Call us as soon as possible. If a permanent tooth has come out, hold it by the crown without touching the root, do not scrub it and bring it in milk or saline; time is critical. Baby teeth are not re-implanted, but the area should be checked.

Frequently asked questions about pediatric dentistry
At what age should my child first see a pediatric dentist?
The first visit is recommended when the first tooth appears or, at the latest, by the child's first birthday.
How can I prepare my child for their first visit?
Talk about what to expect and present it as a positive experience. Books or videos about visiting the dentist can also help.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
Stay calm and reassuring. Our team is used to working with anxious children and our environment is designed to help them feel at ease.
How often should my child see the pediatric dentist?
As with adults, a check-up every six months is recommended, although more frequent visits may be suggested if there are specific needs.
