PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY HELPS PROMOTE CHILDHOOD DENTAL HEALTH

Your child’s dental health sets the foundation for healthy adult oral health. Catching cavities before they create a bigger issue, for example, is important for reducing dental pain and complications. This can only be done if you bring your child to the dentist in the NW Edmonton, AB area.

If you want to book a dental visit today, simply reach out to our pediatric dentistry professionals. We will make sure to set up an appointment at our children's dental center in the NW Edmonton, AB area.

DENTAL KNOWLEDGE

We will educate you and your child about the best dental practices during each visit to our office. From flossing demonstrations to helping you choose the best toothpaste, we provide you with valuable dental knowledge.

This is a critical part of pediatric dentistry in Edmonton, AB. Our pediatric dentists want to make sure that we are helping to foster great habits and to provide the right knowledge early on so that your kid's teeth continue to stay in the best shape possible.

Our pediatric dentistry professionals have specialized training and treat all of our valued patients well. We think that a healthier mouth starts when one seeks to prevent cavities and account for special needs early on.

We make sure that from the first visit to our clinic in Edmonton, patients of all ages can take advantage of our service and walk away with an amazing experience. Our friendly team is there to help infants get started on their teeth journey and have a great experience with every procedure. Whether we are doing cleanings in our Alberta office or seeking to help you with your smile in other ways, we ensure to develop a plan that gets all members of your family on the right track.

To Form a Positive Association with The Dentist

If your children learn that going to the dentist is not only important but even fun, each visit can be a pleasant one. Our job at Edmonton dentistry is to make their experience comfortable and enjoyable. We go out of our way to reduce anxiety around seeing the dentist, and you can help by making regular visits a priority.

When your entire family visits our locations in Alberta, our specialists, from our hygienist to other tooth professionals will make sure that all members of your family, from teenagers to adults, feel quite comfortable in our office setting.

Facilitates Normal Speech Development

Any problems with your child’s jaw alignment or teeth formation can be caught when you regularly bring them to see us. This can prevent speech development issues that are often a result of poorly developed teeth. These speech development issues can alter the course of your child's life in more ways than one.

Your child may have less confidence because of these speech development issues, which can affect other areas of the child's life.

When Should You Bring Your Child In To See Us?

Canadian Dental Association (CDA) and Edmonton Smiles recommends that you bring your child to see us within 6 months of their first tooth eruption. Our first-time visits are set up to make both you and your child as comfortable as possible. From rewarding your little one with stickers and toys for a job well done, to allowing you to hold them during the appointment, our goal is to reduce stress and anxiety for both of you.

What You Can Expect From Your First Childcare Visit

  • Our friendly dental staff greets you at the front door.
  • You’re asked to fill out a few forms to get started.
  • Your child’s dental history is covered during the appointment.
  • We’ll ask a few questions about your child’s dental habits including pacifier use.
  • Our dental team will provide a brief overview of good oral health for your child.
  • You will be allowed to hold your infant or child during the exam.
  • We’ll examine your child’s gums and mouth.
  • At the end of the visit, your child will be given a special prize or treat for their courage!

Some of the reasons we LOVE working with kids at Edmonton Smiles:

  • When our dental team takes your child’s picture, we send them a hard copy so they get their own mail. Our young patients always tell us how exciting it was for them.
  • To make sure their visit with us is fun we do silly things, like blow bubbles, give out balloons, and also prizes. Everyone in our dental practice likes to take part, from our front desk to Dr. Molly Rodgers!
  • Your young patient gets to have cool age-appropriate toothbrushes and other helpful home care items.
  • To make it easy for parents, we preschedule each child for their next dental appointment.
  • Our youngest patients love the “free rides” in our dental chairs. These “rides” allow Dr. Molly Rodgers to look at your child’s teeth to make sure there are no concerns or identify them early. Many of the kids like to sit on their Mom’s or Dad’s lap and we think that’s a great way to help kids get comfortable in a caring dental practice.
  • We are so focused on helping your child have a great dental experience that we’ll keep giving free rides in the chair until he or she is ready to handle an actual cleaning. This can be anywhere from age 2 to 5, and that is okay since we always want to be sure a child does not feel forced or anxious.
  • Our goal is to create fun experiences at the dentist so the child grows up with positive expectations for their dental visits and enjoys a lifetime of excellent oral health!
