From the first tooth
Raising kids who don't fear the dentist.
A good first visit can shape a lifetime. We go at your child's pace: a ride in the chair, counting teeth with a mirror, and a sticker at the end. If it takes three visits to get comfortable, that's fine.

Questions
Kids' dentistry, honestly answered.
When should my child first see a dentist?
By their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth.
Should I come in with my child?
Yes, for young children. Older kids sometimes do better on their own, and we'll follow their lead.
Is my child covered?
Children under 18 may be covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan or BC Healthy Kids. We'll check.
