Our Procedure
01
A Friendly Welcome and “Happy Visit” Introduction
We begin with a warm and welcoming environment to help your child feel at ease. Our pediatric dental team introduces them to the clinic with a relaxed “happy visit,” allowing your child to explore the space and meet the team in a stress-free way. This step helps reduce dental anxiety and builds trust—especially important during early dental visits.
02
Age-Appropriate Preventative Education
Next, we focus on preventative dental care for kids by teaching age-appropriate brushing and flossing techniques. Our team also provides nutritional counseling for oral health, helping you and your child understand how food choices impact developing teeth. These early strategies are key to promoting strong, cavity-free smiles.
03
Dental Examination & Growth Monitoring
Our experienced pediatric dentist in Calgary will complete a gentle, thorough examination of your child’s teeth, gums, and bite. We assess dental development to ensure it aligns with their age and look for any early signs of cavities or orthodontic concerns. Early detection allows us to recommend proactive solutions when needed.
04
Personalized Preventative Plan & Follow-Up Care
At the end of the visit, we’ll review our findings with you and provide a clear preventative care plan tailored to your child’s unique dental needs. We’ll also schedule any follow-ups and provide tips to maintain their smile at home. Our goal is to support a lifetime of healthy oral habits—starting with every visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend scheduling your child’s first appointment with a pediatric dentist in Calgary when their first tooth emerges or by their first birthday. This early check-up helps establish a “dental home” and enables early monitoring of their oral health.
A dental home is the foundation of comprehensive children’s dental care, offering ongoing access to coordinated, compassionate, and preventive treatment from infancy through adolescence. It encourages continuity of care and supports healthy dental habits as your child grows
Routine dental checkups for children are usually recommended every six months. For children with higher risk of cavities, more frequent visits—such as every three months—may be advised to monitor their oral development closely and catch issues early.
During the first visit, our pediatric dental team will:
-
Begin with a friendly “happy visit” to reduce anxiety
-
Demonstrate brushing and flossing techniques
-
Conduct a gentle comprehensive dental examination
-
Discuss growth, development, and cavity prevention
-
Review a preventative dental plan and recommend follow-up care
Maintaining strong oral hygiene at home is essential. Encourage your child to:
-
Brush twice daily with a soft, age-appropriate toothbrush
-
Floss once two teeth start touching
-
Limit sugary snacks and drinks
-
Drink plenty of water to rinse away food debris
Cavities are caused by a combination of bacteria, fermentable carbohydrates, and time on the tooth surface. Baby teeth with grooves are particularly prone to decay. Regular brushing, dental visits, and protective sealants are effective preventive measures.
