Gentle, Expert Care for Little Smiles

Baby teeth typically begin to appear between six and nine months, though timing can vary. The lower front teeth usually erupt first, followed by the upper ones, molars, and then canines. Teething may cause discomfort, but soothing options are available. Clean your infant’s gums after each feeding, and begin brushing with a soft toothbrush and a smear of fluoride toothpaste by age 2, assisting your child until around age 6.

The First Step to a Healthy Smile

The Canadian Dental Association recommends a child’s first dental visit within six months of the first tooth and no later than age one. Early visits help prevent Early Childhood Caries (ECC), which can progress quickly. These appointments allow us to check for cavities, monitor development, and teach proper oral hygiene. Most importantly, they help your child build comfort and confidence for a lifetime of positive dental experiences.

Topical Fluoride

As part of pediatric dental care, fluoride treatments help strengthen your child’s teeth by hardening the enamel and increasing resistance to decay. While small amounts of fluoride are found in toothpaste and some water sources, professional fluoride applications offer a higher concentration for added protection. These safe, quick treatments are an effective way to support your child’s oral health and help prevent cavities during crucial stages of growth and development.

Dental Sealants 

As part of pediatric dental care, dental sealants offer a simple and effective way to protect your child’s back teeth. These plastic coatings seal the deep grooves—called pits and fissures—where bacteria often cause decay. Because young enamel is more vulnerable, sealants add an extra layer of defense. Quick and painless to apply, sealants can provide long-lasting protection and play a key role in preventing cavities during your child’s early years.
