Dental Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams for children include visual inspections, digital X-rays when needed, and developmental assessments. Our pediatric specialists evaluate oral health, monitor tooth development, and identify potential issues early. Each exam includes personalized recommendations for home care and preventive measures tailored to your child's specific needs.
Fluoride Treatment
Professional fluoride applications strengthen developing teeth and prevent decay. We use child-safe formulations applied through fun-flavored varnishes or foams. Our team educates families on proper home fluoride use while providing concentrated treatments during regular check-ups to maximize cavity protection.
Sealants
Dental sealants protect children's molars from decay by sealing deep grooves where food particles accumulate. Our quick, painless application process uses clear resin coatings that bond to chewing surfaces. This preventive measure significantly reduces cavity risk in permanent back teeth during critical development years.
Emergency Care
We prioritize dental emergencies with same-day appointments and after-hours on-call availability. Our team handles traumatic injuries, severe toothaches, and broken teeth with specialized pediatric techniques. Parents receive clear guidance for immediate care while en route to our clinic.
Nutritional Counselling
Our dental specialists provide age-appropriate nutritional guidance to prevent tooth decay. We educate families about snack choices, hydration habits, and meal timing that support oral health. Individualized plans address specific dietary needs while promoting healthy eating patterns for growing children.

Questions
When should my child first visit the dentist?
The Canadian Dental Association recommends a first dental visit by age 1 or when the first tooth appears. Early exams help establish good oral health habits.
What makes pediatric dentists different from general dentists?
Pediatric dentists complete 2-3 years of specialized training after dental school focusing exclusively on children's dental care, including behavior management and developmental needs.
How do you handle dental emergencies after hours?
We offer same-day emergency appointments and have dentists on-call after hours for urgent dental issues requiring immediate attention.
Do you accept government dental plans?
Yes, we accept Alberta Child Health Benefits (ACHB) and First Nations Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) dental coverage for eligible patients.
What should I expect during my child's first visit?
First visits focus on building comfort through play-based introductions to dental equipment. We perform visual exams, discuss oral hygiene, and may schedule cleanings at follow-up appointments.
How often should children visit the dentist?
We recommend check-ups every six months for preventive care, though individual needs may require different scheduling based on oral health assessments.
