Children’s Dentistry
Are you aware of your child’s oral health?
Children’s Dentistry Canley Heights
Baby teeth begin to come out during the first 6 months of life.
By age 6 or 7 years, they start to lose their first set of teeth, which eventually are replaced by secondary, permanent teeth.
Without proper dental care, children face possible oral decay and disease that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications.

Our Children’s Dentistry Services in Canley Heights
Dental Exams
Regularly visiting the dentist is important to keep children’s teeth free from decay. It helps determine if children require dental treatment later in life.
Dental Cleans
A dental clean removes plaque build-up from hard-to-reach spots in your child’s mouth and to detect and treat tooth decay before it becomes a problem.
Kids should visit the dentist for teeth cleaning at least twice a year to keep food deposits and plaque build-up at bay. Children with a higher risk of decay can also benefit from fluoride treatments, and sealants are recommended for most children to protect their teeth from harmful bacteria and plaque.
Fluoride Treatments
Once your child has a tooth, your Canley Heights dentist may recommend that your child receive fluoride treatments to help prevent cavities. This can be done 2 to 4 times per year. The number of treatments will depend on how likely your child may get a cavity.
Mouthguards
Mouthguards help protect your child from suffering from a dental emergency. They should be worn every time your child is participating in sports and recreational activities.
The best mouthguard is one that has been custom-made for your mouth by your Children’s dentist. If your child wears braces or other fixed dental appliance on the lower jaw, your Canley Heights dentist may suggest a mouth protector for these teeth as well.
Fissure Sealants
Fissure sealants are a preventive measure, which may benefit your child. As children’s permanent molars start to erupt between the ages of six and twelve, fissure sealants are applied to the surfaces to prevent tooth decay from happening in the grooves found in these back teeth.
