Positive Early Dental Experiences
At Markham 7 Dental, our team is dedicated to making kids feel comfortable and relaxed during their dental visits, so they can build healthy habits that last into adulthood.
We understand going to the dentist can feel a little scary for some kids, so we do our best to create a calm, friendly environment. We will work at your child’s pace, take breaks when they need one, and explain everything we can in a way that helps them feel confident and at ease.
If your child is hesitant about their upcoming appointment, we will take them on a tour of our facility, where your child can meet the staff and become familiar with the dental environment. We want both you and your child to feel comfortable when you visit us for an appointment.
Your child’s oral health contributes to their overall physical health and should not be overlooked. At Markham 7 Dental, we strive to make children feel comfortable and give them the proper dental care that they need at a young age.
Your Child's First Visit
Babies should see a dentist within six months of their first tooth coming in – or by their first birthday. This is when their primary teeth are just starting to appear, making it the perfect time to catch any potential issues early before they become bigger problems.
Dental Services for Kids
A number of external factors can affect the health of your child's teeth from the moment they erupt. Diet, pacifiers, bottles, and even thumb-sucking habits can have an impact. This makes monitoring your little one's oral health a big responsibility, which our team is eager to help you with.
Preventive Dental Hygiene
Helping children develop strong oral hygiene habits is important, but it can often be a struggle with young kids. Many children strive to be independent and want to brush their own teeth. While developing these habits at a young age is good, if teeth are not cleaned well, it can lead to severe oral health conditions.
During each appointment, one of our dental hygienists will take the time to thoroughly clean your child's teeth and review proper oral hygiene techniques to ensure their smile is getting the proper care at home.
Restorative Dental Services
If your child develops a cavity or chips a tooth, your dentist may also recommend restorative treatments such as dental fillings.
