Pave The Way For A Life Full Of Smiles With Children’s Dental Services

With myriad treatments and procedures that can help keep your child's teeth and mouth healthy, at Dr. George Daguiam Dentistry Awake or Asleep in Orillia, our children’s dental services also help educate kids and their families about the importance of preventing and/or quickly treating oral health issues.

Why are children’s dental services so important?

Good oral health is vital for overall health and well-being, not only because it helps prevent problems like tooth decay and gum disease, but also because it builds confidence, minimizes the likelihood that your child will experience significant dental issues in the short and long term, and because it helps to create a trusting relationship with our team. When your child feels comfortable visiting their dentist, they’re much more likely to prioritize their oral health and attend regular checkups as they age.

How early should my child have their teeth checked by a dentist?

The earlier your child starts seeing a dentist, the better. This way, any problems can be identified and treated early on. It's also a good opportunity for you to learn about proper oral care so you can help your child develop good habits that will last a lifetime.

What can I/my child expect during our first visit?

During your child's first visit, our team will do everything we can to make the visit fun! We'll "count" your child's teeth, ask questions about their medical history and examine their teeth and gums. We may also take X-rays to check for any problems that can't be seen with the naked eye. Should we find any issues of concern, we'll develop a treatment plan that’s customized to your child’s needs.

What should I do if my child is nervous about their visit?

We understand that some children may be nervous about seeing the dentist and we'll do everything we can to make your child feel comfortable and relaxed! Our team is experienced in working with children, and we'll take the time to explain everything in a way that your child can understand.
