Good dental health starts in infancy. Even before they sprout their first tooth, they should already be learning how to practice good dental hygiene - this is because developing good dental health habits is a learned behaviour that is typically taught by parents, teachers, or caretakers. Moreover, in addition to learned dental hygiene habits, it is also important to take the time to find a professional pediatric dentist who can help you care for children’s teeth from the time the first one sprouts to when they grow their last wisdom tooth.
Professional pediatric dentists are essential to helping kids learn good dental hygiene and provide intervention and treatment as needed. Over time, they become trusted confidants and even friends while helping their young patients develop good dental hygiene.
Preventing Cavities in Kids
Cavity prevention starts in early childhood. It requires teaching kids how to brush their teeth and tongue, floss, use mouthwash, etc. Moreover, it also requires visiting a qualified kid’s dentist bi-annually. Pediatric dentists can provide your child with sealants to protect the teeth from cavities, give tips to help them become more effective at brushing and flossing, and can provide corrective therapies such as fillings, retainers, temporary crowns, braces, and other things that are often necessary to help children maintain good dental hygiene and health over time. They can also provide alternative products, such as antibacterial treatments, that may be necessary for extreme situations.
Kids Smile Experts
As we all know, a child’s smile is something that changes drastically over time. They go from a mouth full of gums only to, hopefully, a full set of healthy, great-looking teeth. However, sometimes they need some extra help achieving their best smile. They may need to have teeth extracted, implants added, areas whitened, mouth guards to prevent teeth grinding, crowns to cover misshapen ones, braces, or even more.
This is where our experts come into play. Our team is highly skilled at developing individualized treatment plans that help children achieve and develop the best smile possible. Rather than waiting until adulthood to address dental issues, many of them can be solved or even prevented in childhood.
Pediatric Dental Services We Offer
Infant Exams
You don’t have to wait until your child has teeth to take them to the dentist. In fact, experts recommend that you do the exact opposite. Depending on your child’s age and the state of their dental health, an infant exam can be an examination of things such as the baby’s teeth, jaws, bite, gum line, oral tissues, and overall dental health and development.
Regular Checkups
Children should have regular dental checkups from infancy and beyond. Regular checkups for infants and children are meant to address your child's dental health and development. They may check the general health of the existing teeth and how the teeth are growing in, check for any abnormalities, and provide preventative therapies as necessary.
Fillings and Crowns
Teeth Sealants
In some cases, children need extra protection to help keep their teeth safe and free of decay. Sealants are a highly popular treatment used to provide a child’s teeth with more protection against cavities and decay. They are commonly installed on children’s teeth that may be overcrowded or have other issues preventing them from brushing properly.
SDF Treatment
Another common preventative treatment is the SDF treatment. Also known as Silver Diamine Fluoride, SDF treatments involve soaking the teeth in a liquid solution designed to help keep cavities at bay. This treatment is most common for young children, as they often need extra help and assistance in terms of cavity prevention.
Oral Sedation
Depending on the severity of the dental issue, your child may require oral sedation. This can include anything from nitrous oxide to Novocain and more. Either way, the most important thing is that the sedatives are administered safely and according to all pertinent regulations.

Very clean, professional and helpful. 2 other dentists previously tried to fix my composite veneer and both times it look awful and/or was the wrong colour. One trip here and everything was fixed!
Very friendly, helpful staff. Makes you feel welcome as soon as you enter. I needed a tooth removed and got in the same day I called. When I arrived I didn’t have to wait. I have numerous problem with my teeth and they came up with a solution. Thank you all so much.
Just got home from the Smile Centre and I'm thrilled with my results. Had Zoom whitening, and it was better than I expected. The attendant took the time to explain everything super thoroughly. She warned I may have sensitivity but so far so good. I wish I did it ages ago.
The first thing I noticed upon entering the building was the beautiful design plan and lovely staff. I was greeted at the door and made comfortable throughout my entire experience. Everything was explained to me in detail and the staff always made sure I fully understood. This is an amazing office and I would 10/10 recommend it!!
