Children's Dentistry

A child's first dental experiences shape a lifetime of attitudes about the dentist. Our children's dentistry program — led by Dr. Neda Ahmadi Roozbahani, who taught pediatric dentistry at the university level — is built around patience, play, and prevention, so kids leave proud of their visit and excited to come back.

Care that grows with your child

  • First visits & happy check-ups — short, positive appointments that build trust; we go exactly at your child's pace.
  • Gentle cleanings & fluoride — strengthening young enamel against cavities.
  • Dental sealants — a thin protective coating on the chewing surfaces of molars, where most childhood cavities start.
  • Tooth-coloured fillings — small cavities fixed gently and invisibly.
  • Sports mouth guards — custom protection for young athletes.
  • Orthodontic monitoring — we track jaw growth and tooth eruption, and flag early if alignment care will be needed.

A pediatric expert in the family practice

Dr. Neda's background is unusual for a family clinic: years of pediatric dentistry experience, a university faculty role in pediatric dentistry, and published research on children's care. That means expertise in behaviour guidance — helping anxious or energetic kids feel safe — is baked into every visit, not referred out.

Tips from our team for cavity-free kids

  • Brush together twice a day — kids need help until about age 8.
  • Water instead of juice between meals; sticky snacks with meals, not after brushing.
  • First visit by age one — early visits are about comfort and coaching, not drilling.
  • Ask us about sealants when adult molars arrive (around ages 6 and 12).

Good to know

Children's Dentistry — your questions answered

When should my child first see a dentist?

By their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are quick and friendly — the goal is comfort with the dental chair and practical coaching for parents.

What if my child is scared of the dentist?

That's normal, and it's our specialty. We use tell-show-do techniques, let kids handle the (safe) tools, and never force a frightened child. For treatment visits, nitrous oxide can gently take the edge off.

Are baby teeth really worth fixing? They fall out anyway.

Yes — baby teeth hold space for adult teeth, and untreated decay causes pain, infection, and damage to the adult teeth developing underneath. Small, easy fixes now prevent big problems later.

Is children's dental care covered by CDCP?

Yes — children are a priority group under the Canadian Dental Care Plan, and Healthy Smiles Ontario also covers eligible kids. We'll help you understand what your child qualifies for.
