Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
When should my child first see a dentist?
The Canadian Dental Association recommends children see a dentist by their first birthday or when the first tooth appears.
What makes a pediatric dentist different?
Pediatric dentists receive additional years of training focused on the dental development of infants, children, and teens.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Dental Care for Children accepts most insurance plans and offers direct billing when possible.
What if my child is nervous about visiting the dentist?
Our team uses gentle communication, patience, and specialized techniques to help children feel comfortable and confident.
How is a child’s first dental visit different at a pediatric dental clinic?
Pediatric dental visits are designed specifically for infants and young children. At Dental Care for Children, we often begin with a gentle “knee-to-knee” exam for very young patients. This allows a child to sit comfortably with their parent while the dentist performs a quick and gentle examination. It helps children feel safe and supported during their first dental experience.
At what age should a child first see a dentist?
Children should visit a dentist before their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help monitor development and allow dentists to prevent cavities before they start. Pediatric dentists are trained to care for infants, toddlers, and young children as their teeth and jaws develop.
What age should a child be seen by a dentist?
Most children should begin dental visits by age one.
What happens during a child’s first dental appointment?
A child’s first dental visit typically includes a gentle exam of the teeth, gums, and jaw development. The dentist will check for early signs of cavities, discuss brushing habits, and answer questions parents may have about nutrition and oral health.
