Children’s Dentistry
Protecting young smiles with children’s dentistry in Oakville
Helping children build healthy habits and confident smiles from their very first visit.
The importance of oral health for children
Preventing tooth decay and gum disease is crucial for healthy development in young smiles. Thumb sucking, poor diet, and inconsistent hygiene habits can affect the development of facial muscles and jawbones. Oral health issues can cause crooked teeth, crowding, and malocclusion, increasing a child’s risk of oral health issues and airway disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea.
Our team will work with young patients to provide routine cleanings and exams, as well as educate them about proper brushing and flossing. These simple measures can prevent infections and decay, as well as ensure healthy development. By starting dental care early, you can save time and money on dental treatments and help your child build better habits for their overall health.
Treating cavities and other issues
During each appointment, your dentist will examine your child’s teeth and gums for oral health issues. Cavities and infections must be treated promptly, even in baby teeth, for healthy development. Once the adult teeth begin to grow in, your dentist will monitor their development for issues that may require orthodontics. Braces and aligners trays work best while the jaw is still malleable and providing them treatment early will help protect their teeth well into adulthood.
Our team is committed to providing your child a fun, educational experience at the dentist. Our waiting area is designed with your little ones in mind, and we have video games, toys, and activities to keep them happy while they wait. During the exam, they can watch DVDs or Netflix while we work. We offer treatment six days a week, and we will work with families to provide concurrent appointments whenever possible to make visiting the dentist as easy as possible for your family. Contact our office in Oakville today at (905) 581-4436 to get started.
When to Start Dental Care
We strongly recommend bringing your child to visit Burloak Centre Dentistry before the age of one. Early dental visits give children a jump-start on lifelong oral health, helping them develop a positive attitude toward dental care and a trusting relationship with their dental team.
A Comfortable, Safe Experience
Kids of all ages are welcome at Burloak Centre Dentistry. We take great care to ensure your little one feels comfortable and safe, and we make sure parents understand our recommendations every step of the way.
Beyond Basic Dental Care
We provide important services beyond routine check-ups, including custom mouthguards for sports, nutritional guidance for parents, and advice on healthy oral hygiene habits.
Why Baby Teeth Matter
Healthy baby teeth are crucial for chewing, speaking, and proper jaw development. They act as space holders for permanent teeth, and losing them prematurely can cause misalignment or crowding in the adult teeth.
Summary
Every child deserves a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles. At Burloak Centre Dentistry, we make dental care enjoyable, gentle, and effective for kids of all ages. Call us today at (905) 581-4436 to schedule your child’s appointment and join our family of happy, healthy smiles.
