Children's Dentistry

There are many steps to take when it comes to taking care of your child’s oral health. Avoid complicated dental services in the future by monitoring what happens inside your little one’s mouth.

Children’s Dentistry in NE Calgary encompasses a variety of treatments and services including:

Infant Oral Exams: The eruption of the first tooth signifies it is time to visit the Kids Dentist Calgary. This is the beginning of the journey down a healthy oral path. This is the ideal time for your dentist to familiarize themselves with your child’s mouth and prepare you for future treatment requirements.

Children’s Cleanings & Exams: Two cleanings and two exams every year help keep your child’s mouth in good shape. It is important to remove plaque and tartar and monitor any abnormalities that may require additional treatments with our Children’s Dentistry in NE Calgary. 

Digital X-rays: Dental issues can be hiding beneath the tooth enamel and below the gumline. This is where dental X-rays come into play. They provide a clear picture of concealed areas allowing your dentist to correct problems under the surface. 

Fluoride: Fluoride is a mineral used to safeguard the teeth from cavities and decay. It can even help rebuild spots where decay has started. Your dentist only uses a tiny amount of it at the age when it becomes safe, usually when your child’s first tooth erupts. This is applied by painting the teeth with it until the age of five, at which time other methods may be used.

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): This type of fluoride helps to stop decay on painless cavities and can be used in place of a varnish. It is extremely effective on baby teeth and front teeth.

Restorative Dentistry: Has your child lost or damaged their teeth? Restorative dentistry can help these teeth get back to looking and feeling like they used to. From fillings to crowns, there are treatment options for each scenario.

Care for Dental Anxiety: Dental fear is a common occurrence with children. At Savanna Market Dental in Calgary, we understand your child may be nervous and know how to help them feel relaxed in the dentist’s chair with Child Dental Care Calgary. By talking to your child about the procedures or using sedation, there is an option for each level of anxiety.

Root Canals on Baby Teeth: If your child is experiencing throbbing pain this can be relieved while preserving the tooth until it is ready to naturally pop out. Your dentist will know if a children’s root canal is a good option.

Sports Mouthguards: Mouth protection is important especially if your child is an avid sports player. Mouthguards can be customized to fit the size and shape of their mouth so dental accidents can be avoided.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings: Durable and natural-looking, tooth-coloured fillings are used to fill in gaps and restore dental damage. Do you notice the filling? We didn’t think so.

Tooth Extractions: Sometimes saving a tooth is just not an option. This is where tooth extractions come into play. This treatment is used to help your child avoid further complications, overcrowded teeth, or impacted teeth.
