Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services for Ottawa Families
From your child's very first tooth to their teenage years, The Teal Umbrella offers a full range of pediatric dental services designed to meet their evolving needs
First Dental Visit & Early Childhood Dental Care
We recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit around their first birthday, or when their first tooth appears. These early visits are crucial for establishing a 'dental home,' familiarizing your child with the clinic, and allowing us to provide guidance on proper brushing, diet, and habits. We'll gently examine their gums and emerging teeth, ensuring a positive start to their oral health journey. Early dental visits also help prevent potential issues before they become serious and allow parents to ask questions about teething, fluoride, and thumb-sucking. Creating a comfortable, fun experience at a young age helps reduce dental anxiety later in life. Our goal is to build trust and support your child’s healthy smile every step of the way.
Preventive Dental Care for Children
Prevention is key to a healthy smile. Our preventive services focus on protecting your child's teeth from decay and promoting good habits- Dental Cleanings & Exams: Regular professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar, while comprehensive exams monitor growth and development.
- Fluoride Treatments: Topical fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to cavities.
- Dental Sealants: Thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped in grooves.
- Oral Hygiene Instruction: Tailored advice for children and parents on effective brushing and flossing techniques.
Restorative Dentistry for Kids
Tooth-Colored Fillings: Safe and durable fillings that blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
Pediatric Crowns: Used to restore severely damaged or decayed primary (baby) teeth.
Pulp Therapy (Root Canal for Kids): When decay reaches the nerve, we can perform gentle pulp therapy to save the tooth.
Orthodontic Assessment & Early Intervention
We monitor your child's dental development and can identify potential orthodontic issues early. Our team provides initial assessments and can guide you on the best time for orthodontic treatment, offering early interventions when necessary
Sedation Dentistry for Anxious Children
For children who experience anxiety or fear, we offer safe and effective sedation options to ensure a relaxed and comfortable dental experience.
Our priority is your child’s well-being.
Emergency Dental Care for Children
Dental emergencies can be frightening. We are here to provide prompt and compassionate care for your child in urgent situations, such as toothaches, knocked-out teeth, or dental injuries.
What to Expect at Your Child’s First Dental Appointment
We recommend booking your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits allow us to:
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer emergency dental services?
Yes, you can call 613-225-9201 after hours and our answering machine will refer you to our emergency contact number.
Do you provide a play area for kids?
Yes, our office is very child friendly. We have a play area located in our waiting room and a selection of children’s books to keep them entertained while they wait. Our dental team is also very friendly and will take the time to make your child feel right at home.
What are your rates for pediatric dentistry?
Our rates are consistent with the suggested fee guide provided by the Ontario Dental Association. Our dental clinic is also upfront with our fees; you will not be subjected to any hidden fees. Estimates will include the cost of any laboratory fees and additional materials and treatments when required.
When should I bring my child in for their first appointment?
Usually around the age of three is when you will book your first appointment with a dentist. However, we recommend caring for your child’s teeth when they are babies. You can put a little bit of toothpaste on your finger to rub it over their gums after each feeding. When their baby teeth start to come in, they can be brushed. It is important that you supervise your children until they can brush on their own, without swallowing the toothpaste.
Do you offer sedative therapy?
Yes, we do. If your child is very nervous, we can use a sedative treatment to help calm and relax them.
