Children’s Dentistry in Calgary
We get it - a visit to the dentist is typically not your child’s ideal afternoon. Our goal is to change this! We are passionate in reshaping your child’s oral care experience and helping them make the shift towards a positive mindset when it comes to the dentist.
We’ll work with you to design a unique program for your child because we understand that no child is alike. By taking the time to educate children on the key connection between a healthy mouth and a healthy body, they will not only be on the fast track to a healthy smile now, but for years to come!
Dental Fillings
Perhaps you ate too much candy (we’ve all been there) and now you have a cavity. Ouch! Don’t fret - we’ll make your filling process quick and painless with our highly skilled dentists customizing a treatment option just for you.
Invisalign®
Maybe you have a big year ahead of you (weddings or graduations anyone?) or you prefer to keep a clear smile for the occasional selfie (we don’t judge). In these cases, traditional braces don’t always cut it. If that’s the case, Invisalign may be for you!
Discreetly align your smile with confidence using a series of trays made to fit your teeth. The cherry on top? Invisalign treatment duration is generally shorter than traditional braces.
FAQs
Is it too late to take my child to the dentist?
It’s never too late to take the first step in caring for your child’s mouth. Not only are we dental professionals, we’re parents too. We know how challenging it can be to take your child to the dentist and we’re here to help. We’ll work with you to make dentist trips an easy and enjoyable experience for your family. West Wind Dental always welcomes new patients. Go ahead and call us when you’re ready or book an appointment online.
When should I bring my child in for their visit?
The Canadian Dental Association recommends bringing your child to the dentist for the first time at age 1 so we can check for any developmental issues that could affect how their teeth will grow in. We can then assess whether they are at risk for having cavities when their teeth have come in by age when we will want to see them regularly. Even something as innocent as putting your child to bed with a bottle of milk can bathe their teeth in sugars and contribute to cavity formation. Most of your child’s first appointment will be focussed on helping you establish a good home routine and diet to support your children having healthy teeth for life.
