When Should My Child First See a Dentist?

The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children visit a dentist within six months of their first tooth appearing, or by their first birthday. Early visits allow us to:

  • Monitor the development of primary (baby) teeth
  • Establish a preventive care routine from the start
  • Detect any concerns early when they are easiest to address
  • Help your child develop a positive, confident attitude toward dental visits

Frequently Asked Questions — Children's Dentistry in Toronto

If you are in need of high-quality, professional and friendly dental care, look no further than our clinic.
My child is scared of the dentist. What do you do to help?
Our team is experienced with anxious young patients and takes a gentle, unhurried approach. We explain each step in child-friendly language, allow your child to ask questions, and never rush through an appointment. For children with significant anxiety, sedation options may also be discussed.
Yes. We use digital X-ray technology, which emits significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. We only take X-rays when clinically necessary and always use appropriate protective equipment.
Talk positively about the dentist before the appointment. Avoid using words that might create anxiety, such as “pain” or “needle.” Reading age-appropriate books about dental visits or playing pretend dentist at home can also help familiarize your child with what to expect.
You can begin cleaning your baby’s gums with a soft, damp cloth even before teeth appear. Once the first tooth comes in, use a small, soft-bristled toothbrush with a rice-grain-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Our team will guide you on age-appropriate brushing techniques at your child’s visit.
A combination of regular brushing and flossing, limiting sugary and acidic foods, fluoride treatments, and routine dental checkups provides the best protection. Fissure sealants are also highly effective in reducing cavity risk in young patients.
