Children's Dentistry
Children often need extra time and attention in an unfamiliar dental environment. At Lougheed Family Dental, the team takes the time to help younger patients feel comfortable and make their dental experience as pleasant as possible. Entertainment is available in the waiting area, with TVs on the ceiling in dental rooms during appointments.
Children's dental care includes regular examinations and hygiene visits, monitoring for early signs of tooth decay, and assessment of dental development to identify whether early orthodontic treatment may be needed.
What It Is & How It Works
Regular dental visits allow the dentist to monitor your child's teeth and gums as they grow, identify early signs of decay, and assess developing teeth and alignment.
Who Needs This Treatment
A child's first dental visit is recommended within six months of the eruption of their first baby tooth. Regular hygiene and recall examinations are then generally recommended every six months.
