Our Children's Care Services
Every child is different, so we tailor each visit to your child's age, comfort level and dental needs.

Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatment
Sealants and fluoride treatment give growing teeth an extra layer of protection against cavities. Sealants cover the deep grooves of back teeth where food and bacteria collect, and fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel. Both are quick and comfortable, and they are especially helpful for children and teens. Learn more about Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatment in Calgary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Calgary team provides routine exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays when needed, sealants, fluoride treatment, tooth-coloured fillings and custom sports mouthguards for children and teens. If your child feels nervous, let us know before the visit and we will talk through what can help them feel comfortable.
Many children benefit from a check-up and cleaning about every six months, although some need visits more often. Your dentist will suggest a schedule based on your child's cavity risk, diet and daily oral care at home.
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, using a small smear for toddlers and a pea-sized amount for older children, and start flossing once teeth touch. Limiting sugary drinks and snacks also makes a difference. Regular check-ups, sealants and fluoride treatment add extra protection.
Yes. A custom mouthguard is made to fit your child's teeth, so it is more comfortable to wear than a store-bought guard. It is a good choice for contact sports such as hockey. Ask about one at your child's next visit.
There is no single age that suits every child. Crowding and bite concerns often become clearer as permanent teeth come in, and your dentist can spot them during regular check-ups. When the time is right, we can talk through options such as Invisalign, with free consultations available for teens and adults, or traditional braces.
