What is Children's Dentistry?
Children’s dentistry, also known as pediatric dentistry, is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents. Our pediatric dentists have the unique training and experience to address the specific needs and concerns of young patients, ensuring that their dental visits are positive and enjoyable.
Naturally, children love sweets and that is normal. However, they can be prone to tooth decay because the bacteria in the mouth feed on the sugar and form into plaque that can damage your enamel and cause dental cavities. To solve this problem, Gardenbrook Dental offers sealants and fluoride treatment for your little ones. We provide sealants and fluoride treatment to ensure that your child’s dental cavities are prevented and smiles are maintained healthy. These treatments are of great value for children.
If a child lost a tooth prematurely, our dentist in Brampton may recommend the use of space maintainers. The primary purpose of space maintainers is to save the space left by one or more lost baby teeth so the permanent teeth can erupt properly. Space maintainers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Our experienced and skilled dentist in Brampton will provide a custom-made space maintainer that accurately fits your child’s oral structures.

You can help your child feel more comfortable and excited about their first dental visit by:
- Reading books or watching videos about going to the dentist: Choose age-appropriate materials that portray dental visits in a positive light.
- Talking to your child about what to expect: Explain in simple terms what the dentist will do and why it’s important.
- Keeping the conversation positive: Focus on the benefits of healthy teeth and a bright smile.
