ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. It covers everything from monitoring baby teeth and guiding permanent teeth into place, to treating cavities with gentle tooth-coloured fillings, applying sealants, and talking to kids about brushing and flossing in a way that actually sticks.

Kids’ teeth and jaws are constantly changing. A dentist who understands this development can spot issues early and take a preventive approach, saving your child from more complex treatment later. Part of that prevention is the same foundation as adult care: regular cleanings and exams twice a year.

WHO CAN BENEFIT

When Should My Child Start Seeing a Dentist?

Earlier than most parents expect. Here’s a quick guide to what different ages need at our Mississauga dental clinic.

Under 1 year

The Canadian Dental Association recommends a first dental visit within six months of the first tooth appearing, or by age one.

Ages 2 to 5

Regular six-month visits establish the routine and let us catch early decay in baby teeth before it spreads.

Ages 6 to 12

This is when permanent teeth start coming in. We monitor the transition and can apply sealants to protect molars from cavities.

Teenagers

Wisdom teeth start developing in the teen years. We keep an eye on them and address orthodontic concerns as they arise.

Anxious children

We have lots of experience with nervous kids. A calm tone, clear explanations, and patience go a long way.

Kids with a sweet diet

Sugary diets put kids at higher risk for cavities. We'll give you practical tips to protect their teeth without a total lifestyle overhaul.

Around the time the first tooth comes in, usually between six months and one year. Early visits are short and simple, mostly about checking development and getting your child comfortable with the environment.
This is very common, and we’re experienced with it. We’ll introduce everything slowly, explain what we’re doing, and let your child set the pace. Building trust takes time, and we’re happy to take it.
Yes. Baby teeth hold space for permanent teeth, help with speech development, and affect how your child eats. Decay in baby teeth can spread and cause problems with adult teeth below. They deserve the same care as permanent teeth.
Sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They fill in the deep grooves where bacteria collect and cavities start. They’re quick to apply, painless, and can prevent the need for fillings later on.
