Children's Dentistry in Doreen

We warmly welcome your family’s littlest smiles to become part of our dental family. We welcome kids from age one and will partner with parents to develop a healthy at-home dental care routine in tandem with our professional dentistry.

When Should My Child Have Their First Dental Visit?

Our Doreen children’s dentists welcome children from age one. These early visits are to help your child grow accustomed to the sights and sounds of the dental clinic. By getting started early, your child can have positive feelings when they visit our clinic.

We Celebrate Children’s Milestones!

Part of preventive children’s dentistry includes monitoring their early development and keeping parents informed that everything is progressing properly. We do everything we can to make dentistry fun for your child so they look forward to their visits and actively participate in caring for their teeth and gums.

This approach helps little ones take ownership of their oral health, resulting in a generation that values oral health and strives to keep their teeth for a lifetime.

Children’s Check-Ups and Cleans

Check and clean appointments are essential for growing kids. While we often associate gum disease with adults, kids are prone to it as well, but catching it early can mean a full reversal with the proper care.

Since tooth decay is one of the most preventable childhood diseases, we also look for that while keeping your little one comfortable and involved. We also include oral hygiene instruction so that your child learns to care for their own teeth, and they clean all of the surfaces and do a thorough job.

Early orthodontic evaluations for kids will let you and your dentist know if interceptive orthodontics, such as palatal expanders, space maintainers, or other interventions could benefit your child. Often, early childhood orthodontics can reduce treatment times and help eliminate the need for extractions.

We Are Here for You If Your Child Has a Dental Emergency

Kids are energetic and active! It makes sense that sometimes, dental emergencies can happen. If your child injures themselves on the playground or playing sports, our dental team is here when you need us most.

We also help prevent tooth and bone trauma with custom mouthguards to keep your child’s teeth safe while they are at play on the field.

Doreen’s Gentle Dentistry for Kids

We believe dentistry does not have to be painful. If your child needs a filling or other treatment, we will help ensure their comfort before we get started by numbing the area with powerful local anaesthetics. We also offer special needs dentistry with a general anaesthetic in hospital or medical settings.

We welcome you to contact us to arrange a dental appointment for your child, yourself or the whole family. We can often accommodate multiple appointments at once and participate in CBDS bulk billing/no-gap dentistry for qualifying patients.
