When should my child first see a dentist?

The Canadian Dental Association recommends the assessment of infants, by a dentist, within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. The goal is to have your child visit the dentist before there is a problem with his or her teeth. In most cases, a dental exam every six months will let your child’s dentist catch small problems early. This visit is important for the parents to learn how to manage diet, hygiene and the proper use of fluoride to prevent problems. The dental team can show you how to care for your infant’s or toddler’s mouth. This visit also lets parents discuss teething and developmental milestones. It’s also important to bring your child in so that he or she may become familiarized with the dental setting. We look forward to seeing your little one!

Dental Emergency? We’re here for you.

We’ll help you through this and help you find peace of mind.

We’ve all been there.

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, call 604-805-2500 – 24 hours a day.

The sudden toothache that wakes you up in the middle of the night.

The crunchy snack that chips a tooth or dislodges a filling.

The sudden mishap that knocks out a tooth.

Okay, maybe we haven’t all experienced accidentally losing a tooth, but we all know it can happen easily and without warning.

Any of these can mean pain, discomfort and difficulty with normal activities like eating, drinking, sleeping, even breathing.

But, what else do dental emergencies have in common?

Anxiety – worry – concern.

It’s natural. Many people don’t know what to do when faced with a dental emergency.

What should you do?

  • Should you rush to the hospital?
  • Should you place a hot cloth on the jaw – a cold cloth?
  • Should you take painkillers – or not take painkillers?
  • Can a lost tooth be saved?
  • Should you put the lost tooth in a baggie in the fridge?
  • Can you eat and drink before you see the dentist?

So many questions.

And in an emergency, you should know where to look for the answers.

That’s why we created the 24 Hour Dental Emergency Line.

When you experience a dental emergency, and we’re not available – call 604-805-2500.

On our Emergency Line you’ll speak to a real dental professional.

  • We’ll help you understand what you should do – and what you shouldn’t.
  • We’ll help you book the soonest possible appointment so you can get the problem resolved.
  • And most of all, we’ll help you to reclaim your peace of mind.

Knowing what to do makes all the difference.

And now there’s only one thing you need to know.

Call 604-805-2500.

We’ll help you through this.

This service is made possible through our membership in 123 Dentist, a network of community-based dentists using technology and collaboration to provide our communities with comfortable dental care.
