Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Children should visit the dentist by age 1 or within six months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first. This early visit helps identify potential issues, provides guidance on proper oral care, and establishes a positive dental experience.
Primary teeth are essential for chewing, speech development, guiding permanent teeth into place, and maintaining facial structure. They play a crucial role in your child’s overall oral health and development.
A child’s first dental appointment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. This allows time for a thorough examination, addressing any concerns, and providing oral care tips. If additional treatments are needed, the visit may take longer, but we always focus on ensuring your child’s comfort.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends children visit the dentist every six months for check-ups and cleanings. This helps prevent and detect oral health issues early while providing personalized care. If specific conditions arise, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits.
Gum health is vital for maintaining the overall balance of your mouth, which includes teeth, tongue, cheeks, and supporting structures. Swollen, sore, or bleeding gums signal the need for extra care, as gum health impacts the well-being of your entire oral system. Let’s work together to keep your child’s mouth healthy!
