Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first dental visit?
The Canadian Dental Association recommends scheduling a child’s first dental visit by age one, or when their first tooth appears. Early checkups help prevent cavities, monitor development, and create positive dental experiences.
How often should my child see the dentist?
Most children benefit from dental checkups every six months for cleanings, fluoride treatments, and monitoring of oral development. If your child has a higher risk of cavities or orthodontic concerns, more frequent visits may be recommended.
What if my child is nervous about the dentist?
Dental anxiety is common, and we take a gentle, child-friendly approach to help young patients feel comfortable. Our office features positive reinforcement, kid-friendly language, entertainment options, and calming techniques to ensure stress-free visits.
Do you offer sedation for children?
For children with dental anxiety or complex treatment needs, we provide safe, professionally monitored sedation options to ensure a calm and comfortable experience. Our team will discuss the best approach for your child’s needs.
What are the best ways to prevent cavities in kids?
Preventing cavities starts with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. We recommend:
- Daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste
- Flossing as soon as teeth touch
- Routine dental cleanings and fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants for added protection
- Limiting sugary snacks and drinks
Do you accept dental insurance for pediatric care?
Yes! We accept most major insurance plans and offer direct billing to ensure a hassle-free experience for parents. We also follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide for fair and transparent pricing.
What if my child knocks out a tooth or has a dental emergency?
We offer same-day emergency appointments for dental injuries, including knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, and severe toothaches. If an emergency occurs, call us immediately, and our team will provide urgent care to prevent further damage.
Do baby teeth really matter if they eventually fall out?
Yes! Baby teeth help with speech development, chewing, and guiding adult teeth into place. Early tooth loss from decay or injury can lead to misalignment or future orthodontic issues, making regular dental care essential.
How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?
To create a positive first experience, we recommend:
- Reading books about the dentist together
- Talking positively about dental visits
- Bringing a favourite toy for comfort
- Scheduling a morning appointment when your child is well-rested
