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:

Calgary Families Love Our Office
I love Somerset Dental! They have been extremely nice, honest and punctual. All the women in there are extremely friendly, especially with the kids! Great place for family dental needs in South Calgary.
My daughter and I have been going here for many years and have always had a great experience. The staff are friendly and the office is very welcoming. If you’re looking for a family dentist, this is the place to go.
My child has been going to Dr Abe since June 2017. We have had a wonderful experience; including cleanings for a highly allergic child, and getting an appliance for upper and lower teeth. We have seen the doctor about once a month (sometimes more) during this entire time and we have had a wonderful experience at every interaction. We also have had to get squeezed in at the last minute and they have always accommodated what we have needed. We appreciate their customer service and their location, so close to home for us that we can walk.
After many years of missing Dental work l finally had to go for fillings & cleaning. Everything was explained to me the staff are amazing with a great sense of humour…. which of course makes anyone more at ease.
What a breath of fresh air! This is by far, the best place that I have been to. From the staff at the front, to the assistants, to the doctors themselves. Kind, courteous, and gentle! So far, I’ve had a tooth extraction, and a filling done, and both were done amazingly well. Got the bite right the first time. No going back to get it done a second or third time. Take time to pat yourself on the back folks. You know exactly how to get it done properly.
I’ve had one of the best experiences here. The staff was so friendly and I felt relaxed and confident in their skills. About two months ago I had a broken tooth that had been worked on multiple times with other dentists, and Dr. Abe helped me fix it. My tooth is still doing great and my gums are no longer bleeding like it used to. Super happy!
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.
