A Children’s Dentist in Edmonton You Can Trust
At Westmount Dental Centre, we understand how terrifying going to the dentist can be for little ones. And that's why we strive to create a pleasant, stress-free experience for your little one. Our friendly and compassionate team makes every visit comfortable and seamless, helping little ones feel less anxious.
This will remove any apprehension that may be present. We welcome parents to bring their little ones to visit at the same time as their appointment. This not only acclimates kids to the look and feel of our office but also makes it easy for them to become familiar with our friendly and approachable staff. Watching a pleasant exchange and understanding that the dentist's office can be fun and educational helps children do well with visits.
An Edmonton Children's Dentist Kids Like
Visiting a dental office is a new experience for most children. To ease children into the habit of attending regularly scheduled checkups we encourage parents to bring their children with them to their cleanings and checkups. By visiting the treatment room with a loved one, children meet our staff, become familiar with our office, and discover that going to the dentist is easy.
Engaging and Educational Visits
We like to call your child’s first official visit his or her “happy visit.” A “happy visit” is our way of giving children a positive first experience with the dentist. Many children look forward to their “happy visit” because they have observed older siblings making similar visits.
A “happy visit” usually occurs when your child is 3. At a “happy visit”, we typically do not take X-rays or clean your child’s teeth. This practice keeps the appointment short and simple. “Happy visits” make us a children’s dentist that Edmonton families are comfortable with.
We try to go beyond dentistry and engage our kids in the dental health game. At each appointment, staff members will explain the procedures to the children humorously and relatable, ensuring that the kids grasp the importance of oral health. Our staff is well-trained in making routine checkups an educational adventure during which children can learn about brushing, flossing, and good eating habits in a fun, interactive manner.
Be positive! It is important to speak positively about going to the dentist – otherwise fears can be created for no reason.
Children are naturally positive and only have fears if we teach them fears.
Providing On-Going Children’s Dental Care
After the “happy visit”, children are ready for more regular and in-depth visits to maintain dental health. These happen annually or biannually, as recommended by our staff. Children receive prizes every time they visit Westmount Dental Centre.
We further reinforce the importance of visiting the dentist by giving children positive feedback about how they are caring for their teeth. Children appreciate hearing this positive feedback from parents, too.
