Fostering Positive Early Dental Experiences
Our dentists aim to help children feel comfortable during their time with us. If your little one feels at ease during their first few visits to our clinic, this can help build good oral hygiene habits that will carry them into adulthood.
At Mountain View Dental Centre, we offer a range of dental services for kids in Fernie, including preventive and restorative care, and advice about caring for their teeth at home.
In some cases, your child may have questions about what's happening. We will make sure that we explain each step of the process to them in an age-appropriate manner.
If your child is nervous about their appointment we will work at their pace and take breaks if they get overwhelmed. These techniques go a long way toward helping prevent fear as your child learns about their oral health.
Building a Foundation for a Lifetime of Good Oral Health
We recommend bringing your infant in for a checkup once their first tooth has erupted. Scheduling appointments twice a year, once your child has reached this milestone, helps us keep their smile healthy. It makes dental care a normal part of their life, setting your little one on the path toward optimal oral health.
Dental Services for Kids
During every appointment, we will provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices to ensure your child's smile is getting the right care at home.
Preventive Dental Hygiene
Seeing the dentist at least twice a year for checkups and cleanings is key to helping kids maintain their primary teeth until they are ready to fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth.
Restorative Dental Services
If your child develops a cavity, restorative treatments such as a dental filling may be recommended.
Orthodontic Treatment
If misalignment issues are starting to become apparent, your dentist may recommend orthodontic treatments such as Phase 1 Interceptive Orthodontics to resolve the issues before they cause serious problems for your child's oral health.
