Did you know that the sooner your child begins visiting your Calgary dentist, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their lives? Here are some of the great benefits of regularly visiting your kid’s dentist in Calgary.
Oral healthcare and visits to the dentist should begin with the very first tooth that grows in your baby’s mouth. Even though these teeth will fall out in a few years, baby teeth hold a space for your child’s permanent ones, and it’s important to keep your little one’s mouth healthy for when these arrive.
Without proper care, baby teeth can decay and will cause a host of undesirable problems for your child, including:
- Painful teeth and gums
- Gum disease and inflammation
- Difficulty sleeping, eating, and speaking
- Embarrassment when smiling or talking

VISITING YOUR CALGARY DENTIST DURING COVID-19
The Benefits of Visiting A Calgary Kid’s Dentist
Visiting a kid’s dentist is key to the oral and overall health of your child as they grow. Keeping teeth clean and free from decay is critical to ensure your little one’s teeth don’t easily sustain damage or infections.
It is always a good idea to visit a family and kid’s dentist, since such a professional has the expertise, tools, and patience required for taking care of children’s teeth.
Some of the great benefits of visiting a kid’s dentist include:
-
A Relaxing and Kid-Friendly Environment
Kids are full of energy and curiosity and if they have to sit in an environment that is rigid and sterile, they may experience distress. Dental offices that cater only to adults can give off this impression and cause anxiety in some children.
A kid’s dentist will have designed their clinic with young children in mind, allowing them to be curious, play, and make noise, allowing for a more enjoyable and comfortable experience.
-
Kid-Specific Treatments Will Be Available
At a young age, preventative dental care is very important, since the health routine established and steps taken now can ensure good oral health in the future. A kid’s dentist may offer specific treatments to prevent dental decay and damage, including:
- Fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants
- Mouth guards
By visiting a family dentist, you can ensure that your child will be set up for a lifetime of excellent oral health.
DENTAL CARE FOR CHILDREN IN CALGARY

Children Can Remain in The Care of The Dentist As They Age
By visiting a family dentist, you will ensure continuity of care for your child. This is important because your dentist will be aware of any oral health problems your little one has struggled with, and can apply that knowledge to future care and treatments.
Having continuity of care is important because your dentist will:
- Know your child’s oral health history intimately
- Be able to spot any genetic traits that lead to oral problems, which is key to early diagnosis and treatment.
- Build a strong rapport with your child, making them more comfortable about regular dental visits.
Remaining in the care of the same dentist as your child grows is in their best interest as it makes the process of receiving quality dental care far easier.
