Dental Care for Growing Smiles
Our dentists are committed to providing dental care for children in a comfortable and relaxed environment. These initial positive experience will help to set the stage for good oral health today and into adulthood.
At our office, we offer a complete range of general dental services for children in Richmond and the surrounding areas, including orthodontic treatment, preventive hygiene, and restorative services.
Our team strives to meet our young patients' oral health needs during this very critical time in their development.
We realize that going to the dentist can be an intimidating experience for children, so we will work at your child's pace, take breaks if they get overwhelmed, and explain each step of the process.
Your Child's First Dental Visit
Our dentists recommend that you bring your child in for their first visit when they are between six and 12 months of age. By this time, your 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.
Healthy Teeth for All - Big or Small
At Richmond Village Dental, we believe that by teaching children about the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene, we can build healthy, lifelong habits.
Preventive Dental Hygiene
Visiting the dentist for regular exams and cleanings when your child is young will help preserve the primary teeth until they are ready to fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth. During each appointment, we will review proper oral hygiene techniques to ensure your child's smile is getting the proper care at home.
Our dentists will likely recommend a fluoride treatment during this visit. This is to help strengthen and protect your child's teeth between visits. We offer this treatment in flavours like grape or chocolate.
Restorative Dental Services
If your child is at risk of tooth decay, develops a cavity, or is experiencing misalignment issues, your dentist may also recommend restorative treatments such as fillings.
These services will help to restore your child's teeth and protect them against further damage or issues.
