Kid-Friendly Dental Care Close to Home

We know a child’s first dental experiences shape how they feel about oral health for life. That’s why our team takes a gentle, positive approach that helps kids feel safe, heard, and excited about visiting the dentist.

Whether it’s their first visit or their tenth, we tailor every appointment to your child’s age, personality, and comfort level.

What’s Included in Pediatric Dental Care?

Our pediatric dental services are designed to prevent cavities, support healthy development, and build lasting habits. We offer:

Gentle cleanings and kid-friendly checkups
Digital X-rays (low-radiation and safe for children)
Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
Dental sealants to protect back molars
Cavity detection and tooth-coloured fillings
Space maintenance and early orthodontic evaluation
Oral hygiene tips for parents and kids
Support for thumb-sucking, pacifier use, and teething

We also offer comfort options and a supportive environment for children who may be anxious or have special needs.

Your Child’s First Visit

We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit by age 1, or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting. These early visits help us:

Monitor tooth development
Catch problems before they start
Build trust between your child and our dental team
Educate parents on teething, nutrition, and oral care at home

We make first visits simple and fun—introducing your child to the dental chair, showing them the tools, and taking everything at their pace.

Dental Care as They Grow

Toddlers & Preschoolers

We focus on prevention and education. Parents receive helpful tips on brushing, flossing, and feeding habits while kids get used to the dental routine.

School-Aged Children

We support growing smiles with cleanings, sealants, and cavity prevention. We also monitor for bite issues and provide early orthodontic guidance if needed.

Teens

We help teens stay cavity-free through busy school years, sports, and braces. We also offer Invisalign® Teen and custom sports mouthguards.

A Fun & Fear-Free Experience

Our goal is to make every visit positive and pressure-free. Here’s how we help kids feel comfortable:

Friendly, patient staff who explain everything in simple terms
A “tell-show-do” approach that helps reduce fear
Fun prizes and smiles after each visit
A warm, judgment-free environment for parents and kids alike

We take the time to build trust with your child—because when kids feel safe, they’re more likely to enjoy coming back.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should I start bringing my child to the dentist?

We recommend the first visit by age 1 or when the first tooth appears—whichever comes first.

How often should kids visit the dentist?

Just like adults, kids should come in for a checkup and cleaning every 6 months.

Are baby teeth really that important?

Yes! Baby teeth help with chewing, speech, and guiding adult teeth into position. Caring for them now sets the stage for long-term oral health.

What if my child is afraid of the dentist?

That’s completely normal. Our team has experience helping nervous kids feel safe, calm, and empowered during their visits.

Do you accept insurance for pediatric care?

Yes. We accept most insurance plans and offer support through the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).

What areas do you serve?

We welcome young patients from Alliston, Cookstown, and New Lowell, with convenient evening and weekend hours for busy families.
