Welcome to
The Children's Dental Centre
Our office is specially designed for families and children. We treat children of all ages and needs. We are proud of our reputation of offering children’s dental care in a friendly, warm, compassionate and professional environment. Our dentists are certified paediatric dental specialists and are sometimes referred to as the “paediatricians of the mouth”. Our office provides paediatric dental services ranging from preventive dental care to the treatment of complex dental issues.
Once they are here, most kids never want to leave, as they actually have a great time and want to return for another visit. It may have something to do with all of the video games, iPads, TVs, toys, movies and other fun activities we have!
We encourage families to make their first visit to The Children’s Dental Centre on the appearance of their child’s first tooth or 12 months of age, whichever comes first.
A Caring And Positive Experience For Your Entire Family!
When choosing our office as your child’s dental home, it provides Dr. Masse and her staff with the opportunity to teach you and your child about proper dental care from an early age. Prevention and education are the keys to good lifelong oral health. Early detection of dental issues is very helpful in avoiding pain and/or urgent dental issues for children. Dental caries (cavities) have been shown to spread and progress faster in children. Some children may have Early Childhood Caries and parents are unaware until their child’s first dental check-up.
From our unique office design to our behaviour management style, our complete focus is on the dental needs of your child. We want you and your child to feel comfortable visiting the dentist and for your visits here to be pleasant experiences. We accept patients without a referral and for dental emergencies. Please contact us today with any questions you may have, or to schedule your first appointment.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
Why Choose a
Paediatric Dentist?
Paediatric dentists are general and family dentists first. They also have three more years of graduate level training focusing on the specialized dental care of children. Extra training with child behaviour and psychology, growth and development and pharmacological management (sedation dentistry), are just a few of the reasons why many parents prefer their children seeing a paediatric dentist from an early age.
Paediatric dentists have more experience with children, and are able to ease the anxieties and manage the emotions that sometimes accompany a visit to the dentist. The first visit is typically when your child’s first tooth appears or when they reach their first birthday (whichever occurs first).
Although there is no exact date of graduation from a paediatric dental office, most children graduate to a family dentist around age 18.
