Children’s Dentist in Ottawa

Your Child’s First Visit to the Dentist

Your child’s oral health is crucial to their overall health, starting with the appearance of their first tooth. Children who learn to properly care for their teeth and gums when they are young have fewer cavities and are more likely to keep their teeth for a lifetime. At Orleans Dental Arts, we focus on nurturing our youngest patients’ understanding of the importance of good oral hygiene and proper dental health care, establishing relationships that last a lifetime.

Anxiety-Free Children’s Dentistry

Dr. Nicolas and our dental care team, with their extensive experience in working with children of all ages, are here to put your mind at ease. We take a friendly, non-threatening approach to getting to know your child and putting them at ease in the dental chair. A bit of humor and a lot of understanding and respect for each child’s fear or anxiety help ensure your child’s first visit is reassuring and pleasant.

Dental Care for Now and the Future

While your child’s baby teeth will fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth, they are vital to your child’s health. Eating and speaking become difficult if their baby teeth develop cavities or have to be extracted. Baby teeth are also “placeholders” for permanent teeth, which may not come in properly if the baby teeth are lost prematurely. Infections of the teeth or gums can lead to serious health problems. For these reasons, children should begin seeing a family dentist as soon as their first baby tooth emerges.

We offer a wide range of pediatric dentistry procedures tailored to children’s specific oral health needs. We help kids learn to care for their teeth and gums properly. The rapport we create with your child now will establish a relationship we hope will continue for a lifetime of beautiful, healthy smiles.
