What Are Children's Dental Services?

Children’s dental services are ideal for patients ranging from infancy to adolescence. Since children and teenagers undergo numerous growth cycles before adulthood, our dentists undergo training to address these changing dental needs in addition to providing general dentistry services. You do not need to visit a separate dentist for your child to receive dental care — Dental Choice has you covered.

Why It's Important to Schedule Dental Appointments for Your Children

If you are the parent of an infant, child or teenager, scheduling regular dental appointments is vital to care for their oral health. Some benefits of having your child visit our dentists in Red Deer are:

  • Calmer visits: By scheduling teeth cleanings and dental exams early, you can help your child feel more relaxed and reduce the risk of dentists-related anxiety.
  • Specialized services: Our dentists undergo extensive training in treating young jaws and teeth, which allows them to offer safe and effective dental solutions.
  • Helpful dental health baseline: The jaw undergoes many changes from birth to age 18. By scheduling regular appointments at our office in Red Deer, you will have an effective way to monitor your child’s development and establish a dental health baseline.

FAQ About Children's Dental Services in Red Deer

How Can I Keep My Child's Teeth Clean?

You have several options for keeping your child’s teeth clean:

  • Dental visits: Establishing a regular dental routine by attending our dental office in Red Deer is a great way to maintain the health of your child’s teeth and prevent issues before they require serious care.
  • Dental sealants: Dental sealants bond to the chewing surfaces of the teeth to prevent cavities and plaque.
  • Disclosing tablets: Disclosing tablets are chewable tablets that highlight any plaque left after brushing to help identify areas your child needs to focus on.
  • Brushing: Establishing a brushing habit should begin before your child gets their first tooth. Start by running a clean, damp washcloth across their gums and transition to a toothbrush as their teeth emerge.

Should My Child Visit a Dental Office if Their Baby Teeth Have Cavities?

While baby teeth eventually fall out, it is still wise to have your child visit our office to fill any cavities on their baby teeth, as leaving them untreated can result in infection. It can also result in premature tooth loss, which can negatively impact the alignment of the teeth.

When Should I Start Taking My Child to the Dentist?

We recommend taking your child to our dental clinic in Red Deer for the first time when they are 2 or 3 years old. After their first visit, we will schedule appointments every 6 to 12 months for cleanings and checkups.
