Preventive Dentistry

The goal of preventive dentistry is to prevent the development of cavities and gum disease through routine cleanings, check-ups, and dental education from our office. A healthy mouth helps foster a happy and healthy child.

​

Preventive dentistry requires participation from your child, our dental team, and you.

​

Preventive dentistry begins at home with the appearance of your child’s first tooth, usually around 6 months of age. Even before the first dental visit, you should be cleaning your child’s teeth with a moist cloth after each feeding. By the time your child reaches the age of one, you should schedule your child's initial visit with us. Beginning dental visits early is the key to great dental health as these visits assist us in recognizing and addressing potential problems before they become serious. The Staff at TinySmile Dentistry will teach you how to protect your child's dental health by providing a personalized program of oral hygiene instructions, dietary counselling, and fluoride recommendations if necessary. As our team becomes active participants in your child's preventive oral care. We develop healthy habits encouraged by positive reinforcement to ensure your child grows up as part of a cavity free generation.
