Building a Foundation for Good Oral Health
Early dental care for kids is important because it helps ensure that children are able to maintain strong and healthy teeth as they grow up. Learning good dental habits at a young age may protect kids from dental problems down the road.
It's quite common for children to feel anxious about seeing dentists. At our Calgary dental clinic, we address this by establishing trusting, long-term relationships with our young patients and their parents.
At Deer Valley Dental Care, we want to make every visit to the dentist stress-free and fun for your children. The earlier kids that have positive dental experiences, the easier it is for them to establish confidence in us as their dentists.
Dental Visits for Parents & Kids
We know that our patients have busy lives and full schedules, and this can make it difficult to find time to bring your family to the dentist! To make it easier, we offer full-family appointments, extended weekday hours, and we're open seven days a week.
A Note About Prevention
For children, our primary goal is to use preventive techniques to stop dental problems from developing in the first place, safeguarding their oral health as they grow into adulthood.
Preventive dental care measures for children include regular checkups and cleanings at the dentist's office, thorough coaching in at-home brushing and flossing techniques, and additional options like fluoride and dental sealants.
Dental sealants fill in the deep grooves of the back teeth, making them easier to clean. This is important for children because they are still learning to clean their teeth properly.
Creating a Positive Dental EnvironmentÂ
We help parents make dental visits a lot easier by creating an environment that kids feel comfortable in from the moment they walk through the door.
We strive to make each dental visit a relaxed experience for kids, with a friendly team and fun games to distract them from feeling nervous.
Our office's waiting area features a kid's play corner stocked with toys, so that the little ones and their imagination forget they have a dentist appointment.
