Children Dentistry
The investment in our children’s oral health is one of our ultimate goals as patients. Below, we’ve gathered some of the frequently asked questions related to children’s oral health. If you couldn’t find what you are looking for, please give us a call on (905) 608-9000 and we will answer your questions.
Why do you need a dentist for kids?
Children start getting their first set of milk teeth from 6 months onwards. By the age of 6 to 7 years, they start losing their teeth and start getting permanent ones. You should as a parent start caring for their teeth because now your children face the possibilities of tooth decay and other oral diseases which can cause your child to lose their teeth or a lifetime of oral complications. Nowadays, early childhood dental caries, which is an infectious disease, are more common in children than asthma or hay fever.
Why is dentistry for kids important?
Early years in a child’s life are the most important to learn correct oral health behaviours. Children need to learn proper brushing and flossing techniques in early childhood because it will stay with them for the rest of their lives. As part of achieving this, children should be taken to the dentist office regularly as he/she can conduct regular checkups and cleanings and help them keep a healthy smile.
How can the dentist help my kids on such an early age?
Some of the things that the dentist can help your kid in early childhood age might include:
- Identifiy dental issues at an early age to avoid future complicaitons
- Teach your kid’s how to chew their food properly
- Teach your kid’s how to properly develop and maintain strong oral health habits
- Monitor jaw development and intervine with corretive measure as early as possible
- Assist with your kid’s speech development while growing up
These are some of the functions that the parents are not aware of and therefore don’t bring their kids to the dentist until they are teenagers.

Is there any reason for your child to have fear from the dentist?
Obviously, there is no reason for your child to fear the dentist’s office. They only fear it as they have never been there before. If your child’s first visit to the dentist clinic is at a later age such as 5 or 7, your child will understandably be scared while observing the dentist operating all these sharp and noisy dental instruments. This will make it harder for the dentist to treat your child and will develop a subconscious fear that might last until adulthood. But if you bring your kid as early as the age of 2 or 3, your child will become more comfortable coming to the office and some of those fears dissipate. Also, the child develops a stronger relationship with the dentist which helps him/her teach your child the necessary oral health care techniques.
How does the dentist teach your child good oral habits?
When you start bringing your child at a younger age, the dentist uses multimedia tools like photos, storybooks, videos, and other teaching tools that help your child learn in a fun way. The sooner the child learns the better he/she maintains good oral health through teenage and adulthood.
How to give my child a good school year?
To start your child’s school year correctly, teach your child to floss once every day and brush twice a day. Always use fluoride toothpaste. Additionally, it is highly recommended that you bring your child to see the dentist twice a year. We can provide you with an oral health assessment, prevent cavities and help your child attend the school without dental issues.
Does my child’s diet affect his/her dental health?
Yes, your child’s diet affects his/her dental health. You have to give them a balanced diet for maintaining good oral health. Limit their exposure to sugary and starchy foods and beverages.
