A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation
Give your kids the best start by helping them build strong oral hygiene habits early on. We understand that family dental care can be both challenging and rewarding, and that children need extra special attention. A healthy smile is an important part of childhood. Let’s work together to get them on the right path with personalized guidance tailored to their unique needs.
Getting Ready for Your First Appointment
Talking to your child about their upcoming visit can ease any nerves. The main goal of their first appointment is to relax, have fun, and begin building a positive relationship with their Dentist Toronto locals trust. Here’s what your child can expect:
Talk and Listen
We’ll chat with you and your child, explaining what we’ll do and why, while introducing some of the dental tools in a friendly, kid-appropriate way. We make sure your child feels comfortable and confident — it’s really not so scary!
Gently Examine
A gentle examination of gums, tongue, teeth, and overall oral health helps us spot any areas that might need extra attention. We’ll provide you with personalized advice and keep an eye on any tricky spots during future visits.
Educate
Your child might even show us how they brush their teeth, and we’ll offer gentle tips on improving their brushing technique at home. We’re happy to answer any questions you or your child may have about dental health.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Children usually start teething around 6 months old. We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by age 1, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. If you notice any discomfort or suspect a problem, please don’t wait to book an appointment, it’s never too late to start dental care.
Baby teeth do much more than hold space for permanent teeth. They influence the appearance of your child’s face and smile, and how often they feel confident enough to smile. Untreated dental pain can negatively affect eating habits, chewing ability, and even food preferences.
Appointments typically last about one hour, depending on your child’s needs and how cooperative they feel during the exam.
After the first visit, children should see the dentist as often as adults, generally every six months for checkups and cleanings, unless otherwise advised. If your child experiences tooth or jaw pain, frequently rubs their jaw, or avoids hard or cold foods, please schedule an appointment sooner.
Your mouth is a complex system that includes teeth, tongue, gums, cheeks, glands, ligaments, joints, and bones. When one part suffers, like swollen, itchy, sore, or bleeding gums, it can signal a larger oral health issue that needs attention.
