Overview
Early dental visits shape how children feel about oral health. Apex Dental Centre welcomes kids with a calm, family-focused approach and clear explanations for parents.
Dental care for growing smiles
Children may need exams, cleanings, fluoride guidance, sealants, fillings, space monitoring, or urgent care after a dental injury.
The team focuses on prevention and early detection so small concerns can be managed before they become painful or complex.
- First visits and routine checkups
- Cleanings and prevention
- Tooth-coloured fillings for children
- Assessment after chips, trauma, or tooth pain
Support for parents
Parents can ask about brushing, flossing, snacks, thumb habits, mouthguards, eruption timing, and when orthodontic assessment may be appropriate.
Because Apex also offers family dentistry and orthodontics, the team can help coordinate care as children grow.

Questions About Children's Dentistry
When should my child first see a dentist?
Many dental organizations recommend a first visit around the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth. The right timing can be discussed with the office.
Can parents stay with children during appointments?
The team will guide the appointment in the way that best supports the child, parent, and treatment needs.
Do children need X-rays?
X-rays are recommended only when they are useful for diagnosis or monitoring. Your dentist will explain why an image is or is not needed.
Can I use the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) here?
Yes. Apex Dental Centre accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Coverage depends on the plan rules and the treatment, so call the office to confirm what applies before your visit.
