Children’s Dental Care at Junction Village Dental

hudsoninchairAt Junction Village Dental we love making dental visits a positive experience for kids, helping them feel comfortable and confident from an early age. Our friendly, gentle approach ensures your child feels safe and comfortable while we care for their growing smile.

When Should My Child Have Their First Dental Visit?

We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental check-up by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting—whichever comes first.

Early dental visits help:
Establish a positive, stress-free experience at the dentist
Monitor early tooth development and detect any potential issues
Provide education and advice on teething, brushing, and diet for strong, healthy teeth

Gentle and Fun Dental Care for Kids

Our team understands that a child’s first experiences at the dentist shape how they feel about oral health for life. That’s why we take a gentle, friendly and fun approach to make each visit enjoyable.

Preventing Tooth Decay & Encouraging Healthy Smiles

Regular check-ups and cleans help prevent decay and ensure your child’s teeth and gums stay healthy as they grow. We also provide:

  • Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities
  • Fissure sealants to protect the deep grooves of molars from decay
  • Oral hygiene advice tailored to your child’s needs
When dental problems arise, we offer effective treatment options to restore and protect your child’s teeth, including:

  • Tooth-coloured fillings to repair small cavities
  • Stainless steel crowns (the gold standard for treating tooth decay in children) for extra protection on heavily decayed or weakened baby teeth
  • Pulp therapy (baby root canal) to save a badly decayed tooth when possible
Our goal is to prevent problems before they start, but when treatment is needed, we ensure it’s done with care, comfort, and reassurance to keep your child feeling safe and confident.
