Kickstart Your Child’s Healthy Smile With A Pediatric Dentist in Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Visiting the dentist is an essential part of oral and overall health. It’s important to do what you can to support your child on a path toward a lifetime of healthy smiles, and that can start with choosing a skilled, compassionate, and patient dental team in Fort Saskatchewan, AB, that offers pediatric dentistry and protects and strengthens young smiles!

What Is Pediatric Dentistry?

Our family-oriented dentists and team are trained to understand children's dental needs, including their developing teeth and jaws. We’re committed to creating a welcoming and soothing environment to make dental visits fun and stress-free for your little one. Pediatric dentistry and orthodontics visits typically start when your child reaches three years old or has all their baby teeth, whichever comes first!

What Services Are Included?

Dental Checkups: During examinations, our dentist will assess the growth of your child’s teeth and jaws, looking for signs of cavities or alignment issues that require further attention.

Periodontal Therapy: This treatment removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing often misses, reducing the risk of cavities.

Fluoride Treatments: Applied in the dental office, fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and provides added protection against decay, especially for children at higher risk.

Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars; dental sealants significantly reduce the likelihood of cavities in these hard-to-reach areas.

Fillings: When cavities occur, our knowledgeable dentists will remove the decayed material and replace it with a filling to strengthen smile function and improve appearance.

Emergency Dentistry: Our soothing dentists efficiently address and resolve dental emergencies, including broken or knocked-out teeth, to help your little one escape pain.

Orthodontic Assessments: We assess alignment issues early to allow for proactive planning. Early intervention can simplify future orthodontic treatment and lead to better outcomes.

How Can Your Child Maintain Oral Health At Home?

• Encourage little ones to brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, emphasizing the importance of brushing for two minutes to support a deep clean.

• Children can start flossing between the ages of two and three to prevent gum disease and cavities between teeth.

• Promote a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support strong teeth.
