Caring for Young Smiles in Northeast Calgary
Regular dental care is just as important for kids as it is for adults. At Saddletowne Dental in Calgary NE, our services can be tailored to meet your child's oral health needs, and keep their smile healthy and happy.
Request AppointmentYour Child's First Visit
Infants should be seen by a dentist after the first six months of age or at minimum by the child's first birthday. By this time, the baby's first teeth, or primary teeth, are beginning to erupt and it is a critical time to spot any problems before they become big concerns.
Creating Early Positive Dental Experiences
At Saddletowne Dental in Calgary NE, we're committed to helping children feel at ease during their dental appointments so they can maintain good oral health today and into adulthood. We will go at your child's pace, take breaks if they get overwhelmed, and explain each step of the process.
Preventive Services
Visiting the dentist for regular exams and cleanings when your child is young will help preserve the primary (baby) teeth until they are ready to fall out and be replaced by the permanent (adult) teeth. During each appointment, your dentist or hygienist will review proper oral hygiene techniques with your child to ensure that their smile is getting the proper care at home.
Restorative Services
If your child is at risk of decay, develops a cavity, or is experiencing misalignment issues, your dentist may also recommend restorative treatments such as dental fillings and mouth guards.
Our dentists also perform frenectomies for babies and children when the frenum in the mouth is restricting oral function, commonly referred to as tongue-tied or lip-tied.
