Regular Check-Ups From The First Tooth
Children and adolescents are at a high risk of tooth decay caused by sugars left in their mouths. This sugar turns to acid, which breaks down the teeth. One simple solution is often overlooked: proper brushing and flossing routines combined with a dental visit every six months.
We’re not your standard dentistry office. We get to know your child, help them ease into their appointments, and put their comfort first. You can depend on us for:

What Parents Can Expect
Your child’s first primary (aka baby teeth) will begin to emerge between the first six and 12 months. They’ll continue to appear until about age three. During this time, your child’s gums may feel tender and sore. To help alleviate this discomfort, we recommend that you soothe the gums by rubbing a clean finger or a cool, wet cloth across them. You can also opt to use a teething ring. When your child has finished teething, you can expect to see 20 primary teeth.
Making dental hygiene the norm in your household builds the foundation for a life-long healthy mouth for you and your children. Just because baby teeth fall out one day doesn’t mean you can shrug off brushing duty.
Once your child turns six, you can expect them to start getting their permanent teeth. That’s why it’s essential to establish healthy oral habits early. Believe it or not, it can take until age 21 to get your complete set. They’ll end up with 28 teeth, or 32 if their wisdom teeth come in.

Start Healthy Hygiene Habits
New teeth can be susceptible to cavities from sugary foods and liquids. It’s vital that you check your child’s teeth every two weeks for lines and discoloration that show signs of tooth decay. For optimal hygiene for your child’s new teeth, we recommend brushing at least twice a day.
But what about babies or toddlers that can’t brush their teeth by themselves yet?
Parents can assist their children’s healthy oral hygiene habits from the moment the first tooth arrives. All you need is a soft-bristled brush and a rice-kernel sized amount of non fluoridated toothpaste. In Calgary, we don’t have any fluoride supplement added to the water, so it’s up to your discretion if you use fluoride toothpaste unless advised by your dentist.
