We believe a happy dental experience goes a long way.
When should my Child see the Dentist?
How can I prepare my child for his/her 1st dental visit?

Discuss and role-play the first visit using books or videos about what a typical dental visit is like

Ensure that your child is well-rested and not hungry
-
You can bring along your child's favourite toy to play with and to hold onto during the visit
-
Use positive and encouraging language even if he/she has a hard time cooperating
-
Allow your child to accompany you for your routine dental visit. You are the BEST role model!

My Dental Team has an in-house Orthodontic Team!
A cool reason for having your Kid's first visit with us is that we have a highly-experienced Orthodontic Team on site that can be alerted when our dentists spot something seriously wrong with your child's dental or facial development (touch wood)!​
​
This way, we feel that we can keep your child's dental care coordinated and comprehensive.
Are Dental X-rays safe?
-
Radiation exposure associated with dentistry is low in dosage (e.g. 10 dental x-rays = 1 chest x-ray)
