Pediatric Dentistry

There are many aspects of treatment in a Family Dentistry Office, and we are also fortunate to have an excellent complement of Dental Specialists to whom we can refer.

Pediatric dentistry is the special branch of dentistry that is geared towards children and adolescents. It is recommended that children go for their first dental visit within 6 months of having their first tooth emerge. This is not only a good preventative measure, but can also serve to provide parents with resources to help maintain their children’s primary teeth. Children’s primary teeth play an important role in speech development and development of good eating habits; therefore oral care and preventative maintenance including regular dental checkups is an important investment in the overall health of the child. Speak to your dentist if you have any questions regarding your child’s oral health.

Expert Guidance of Behaviour

Pediatric dentists have extensive training in the psychology of child behaviour. Sensitive and affectionate management of a child’s fear, anxiety or pain is the basis of how we approach treatment. We use  adaptable methods of behavior guidance that are scientifically proven when dealing with children.
