An appointment between 60 and 90 minutes will be booked for your child or teen depending on their age and whether or not they have braces. As above, you will be greeted by one of our friendly business assistants and asked to provide all insurance, family and health information for your child. Our business assistants will then review our office policies with you and make note of any health or dental concerns you may have. At this time, one of our Hygienists or Dental Assistants will meet with your child and take any necessary X-rays, clean their teeth and review brushing and flossing techniques. One of our Dentists will then do a complete examination of your child’s mouth, review their x-rays and advise you of any treatment needs. This visit always ends with a trip to the toy box and entry into either our Happy Smile Club, Junior Achievers or Teens-to-the-top quarterly draws.

In 2003, the BC Dental Association launched a campaign recommending children visit the dentist 6 months after their first tooth or at one year of age. Since this campaign we have been offering a complementary orientation visits at our office for kids up until the age of three. This visit includes an exam by one of our Dentists, a ride in the chair and a show-n-tell of our tickle tooth brush and vacuum  as well as a “baby bag” of goodies to help care for your child’s teeth.
