You want the best for your child. We want to improve dental care for everyone in Winnipeg.
Together, we’ll make a great team!
We love kids. When you bring your child into our office, our goal is to ensure they have the most pleasant experience possible while our dentists provide a high standard of dental care. We want your child to love visiting the dentist, and we want to help them (and you) start oral hygiene routines that will last their whole lives.
So come visit us at Fresh Dental. Your child’s first visit under the age of three is free!
Did you know children should have their first dental appointment before the age of one?
It’s true! Those baby teeth need special health care. Pediatric dentist is a dental speciality – pediatric dentists have the experience and techniques to take care of children’s teeth. These techniques extend beyond oral health. They’re about having positive mannerisms, and making visits to the dentist fun!
To ensure that your child’s teeth are coming in properly, we recommend a check-up every 6 months. During these check-ups, we can also make sure there are no other oral health problems – you’d be surprised how early gum disease can start occuring!
We can also give you and your child tips on how to improve their oral health routine. These check-ups will include a cleaning to get rid of any tartar and plaque.
Regular check-ups early in life can help reduce the risk of dental anxiety later in life. Best of all, they help us make sure your child’s adult teeth will grow in big and strong – and we recommend you tell your kids the same!
Why fill a cavity on a baby tooth when it’s just going to fall out anyway?
Some teeth don’t fall out until kids are around 12 years old. If cavities aren’t treated, infection can spread, putting your child’s health at risk. By treating the cavity and filling the tooth, we help to preserve your child’s dental and general health.
Proper oral hygiene can be hard to maintain for anyone – for kids, it can be particularly tough. And molars are the hardest teeth to care for!
When your child’s adult molars come in, we recommend using dental sealants. These sealants are easy to apply, and do an amazing job preventing cavities. In fact, according to the CDC: “School-age children without sealants have almost three times more cavities than children with sealants.”
Who doesn’t want their kid to be 3x less susceptible to cavities? Over time, dental sealants may help reduce the number of trips you have to take to the dentist. We’ll be honest, though – a lot of kids enjoy their trip to our clinic, so your child might be disappointed they don’t get to visit more often!
From advice on pediatric orthodontics to emergency care, like tooth extractions, we take a holistic approach to your child’s oral health. If your child needs dental treatment, give us a call!
