Good habits can last a lifetime when formed early!
Healthy Teeth Save Money
The earlier your child starts practicing good oral health, the fewer dentist appointments they will require in the long term. As much as we love seeing our little patients, your child shouldn’t have to visit the dentist frequently. While we’re always available to assist you in case of need, corrective pediatric dentistry can be costly. We hope that your child won’t require any intervention outside of periodic check-ups because it can also create discomfort and anxiety in them.
Supports the Development of Healthy Teeth
While your teeth are completely formed, your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw are still developing and changing daily. Backed by the Canadian Dental Association, we always recommend you take your child to see a dentist as early as the child’s first birthday (and, of course, continue with routine visits throughout their lives!
A Healthy Smile Leads to a Happy Kid
It can be embarrassing or detrimental to your child’s confidence to deal with oral health issues like tooth decay. Giving your child oral health care and the support they require to develop a confident, healthy smile is your responsibility as a parent and ours at Macleod Trail Dental.
Preventing Oral Health Issues
Children’s teeth are more prone to tooth decay. Early detection of cavities in baby teeth is essential since neglecting them could result in more serious dental problems. Additionally, identifying bite issues early on and initiating interventional therapies can reduce the severity and expense of subsequent orthodontic treatment.
FAQs

On the appointment day, arrive early to guarantee a calm environment free from extraneous obligations. Until their dentist appointment is due, allow your child to play and become comfortable.
