Children's Program
We pride ourselves on creating lifelong dental fans! Our approach is a positive and gentle one, involving the child, the family and the dental team. We create a supportive and fun environment to foster your child's life long dental health.
We discuss, explain, demonstrate and teach; never lecture. Humour, patience and a great sense of fun are our biggest tools. (That and a great toy/prize box for our young patients.)
Typically, children are seen for a first visit at 2 1/2 to 3 years of age. If a parent has any concerns prior to that, we are very happy to arrange an appointment. The first visit is typically a (no charge) orientation, where a child has a tour of the office, a "ride" in the dental chair and gets to meet the hygienist and Dr. Ewart. We will spend time to discuss your child's dental health and address any concerns or questions that you might have. Introducing a child to the office prior to any dental concerns/issues arising is a crucial step in creating a trusting, comfortable environment for your child.
Our office building boasts a lovely atrium with fish, turtles and tropical plants. Our office has a great children's play area with video games and toys. Children love coming to our office and we love seeing them!
