Pediatric dentistry
Your pediatric dentistry clinic in Montreal
Our pediatric dentistry service in Montreal offers dental care that is adapted to children’s needs, from the treatments we offer to the medication we prescribe.
Our dentists are here to help.
Children’s baby teeth aren’t immune to issues like cavities and abscesses, both of which need to be treated quickly.
In addition to preventing infections, the first few visits are a great opportunity to introduce your child to the dental clinic environment and help them develop a positive relationship with their dentist!
A range of dental treatments for children
Our children’s dentists and the entire department make a special effort to reassure our littlest patients with a warm welcome and clear communication.
Kindness and education are the keys to a positive experience. Our specialists take a pedagogical approach to prevention while providing the necessary care.
Our specialist will teach children the proper techniques for taking care of their teeth and help them understand why it is important. By instilling good habits at an early age, children are guaranteed to take better care of their oral health throughout their lives!
In addition to providing essential education, our children’s dentists regularly treat cavities. Scaling is also part of our routine pediatric dentistry service offering to prevent plaque buildup.
Our specialists may also extract children’s baby teeth if they are not falling out fast enough and therefore becoming painful or broken.
Some children are particularly anxious and restless during their first visit, or if they have previously had a negative experience. In these cases, we offer treatments under conscious sedation to reduce their stress levels and provide the best possible care.
The sedative, nitrous oxide gas, is administered via inhalation. This is a risk-free technique with no side effects that allows us to provide all of the necessary care in a single appointment and build trust with our smallest patients.
