Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
At what age should my child first visit a dentist?
The Canadian Dental Association recommends a child's first dental visit within 6 months of their first tooth appearing, or by their first birthday — whichever comes first. At Growing Smiles Children's Dentistry, we welcome infants and toddlers for gentle, introductory visits at both our LaSalle and Windsor locations.
What dental services does Growing Smiles offer for children?
We offer comprehensive pediatric dental services including dental exams and cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, tooth-colored fillings, crowns, space maintainers, habit counseling, orthodontic evaluations, emergency same-day appointments, and specialized care for children with special health care needs. Dr. Gumber is also affiliated with Windsor Regional Hospital for surgical services.
Does Growing Smiles treat children with special health care needs?
Yes. Dr. Samita Gumber is passionate about providing inclusive dental care for children with special health care needs. She has specialized training to create an accommodating and understanding dental experience tailored to each child's unique needs.
What areas of Windsor-Essex does Growing Smiles serve?
Growing Smiles Children's Dentistry serves families across Windsor-Essex County from two locations. We welcome patients from Windsor, LaSalle, Tecumseh, Amherstburg, Essex, Kingsville, Leamington, Lakeshore, Belle River, and Cottam.
What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a family dentist?
A pediatric dentist completes two to three additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on treating infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special health care needs. Dr. Samita Gumber holds two Master's degrees in Pediatric Dentistry and is board-certified, meaning she has passed rigorous examinations by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Can general dentists refer patients to Growing Smiles?
