A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation

Healthy smiles are key to your child’s development, from their early years through adolescence and into adulthood. But balancing family life with dental care can be tough with the demands of work, school, and everything in between.

We’re here to make your trips to the dentist as easy as possible. With flexible scheduling and appointments grouped together, we aim to accommodate your busy family.

As your child reaches each dental milestone—like their first visit, losing baby teeth, and getting their adult teeth—we’ll be there every step of the way, supporting them in building a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your little one will start cutting their first teeth around 6 months. It’s a good idea to bring them to the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth. If you ever notice any discomfort or think something might be wrong, don’t wait—book an appointment right away! It’s never too late for their first dental visit.

Baby teeth play a huge role in your child’s development. They don’t just hold space for adult teeth—they affect how your child’s smile looks and how often they smile. Dental pain, even minor, can impact how kids chew, what foods they enjoy, and how much they eat. Taking care of their baby teeth helps ensure they develop healthy habits and a confident smile that lasts.

The first visit will depend on how comfortable your child feels and what needs to be done, but typically, it lasts about an hour. We try to keep it relaxed and fun, so they have a positive experience!

Just like adults, kids should visit the dentist regularly. We recommend a check-up and cleaning every 6 months, unless we suggest otherwise. If you notice any signs of tooth or jaw pain—like them avoiding hard foods or rubbing their jaw—don’t wait too long to book an appointment.

Cavities are little holes that develop in teeth over time, often caused by bacteria and plaque. Things like sugary foods, acidic drinks, and poor brushing habits can make cavities worse. The good news? Catching them early can help prevent bigger issues down the road.

Your child’s mouth is a whole system—teeth, gums, tongue, and more. If one part isn’t healthy, it can affect everything. Swollen, sore, or bleeding gums could be an early sign of a bigger problem, so keeping an eye on their gum health is just as important as caring for their teeth.

We get it—life’s busy with a family! We’re happy to make things easier by scheduling multiple appointments close together. Just give us a call, and we’ll do our best to work with your schedule.

Honestly I’ve been terrified of the dentist since I was super young. So I’ve avoided it most of my life. But I knew I had to get work done and it was time to bite the bullet. I don’t think anyone genuinely loves going to the dentist… however, they make the experience worth it. They don’t judge you for how long it’s been, how bad of condition your teeth are in, but they also don’t sugar coat it either and let you know what you need to do going forward. They make every experience nearly painless. Front desk staff is always super friendly and they remember you by name. This is THE place to go. You will feel safe and comfortable. This is very important if you are someone who is afraid of the dentist. I’ve been here a lot in the past couple months and never had a single bad experience. My fear is almost completely gone. Thank you

I visited Port Dover Family Dentistry for a routine teeth cleaning and a dental filling, and I had a great experience from start to finish. The clinic is modern, clean, and welcoming. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Dr. Bukhari was professional, patient, and explained everything clearly before starting the procedures. The cleaning was thorough but gentle — I didn’t feel rushed at all. For the filling, Dr. Bukhari made sure I was completely comfortable, and the process was virtually painless. He took his time to ensure the filling looked and felt natural. If you're looking for a dentist who is skilled, compassionate, and respectful of your time, I’d highly recommend Dr. Bukhari and the team at Port Dover Family Dentistry. They’ve definitely earned my trust for future visits!

I recently visited Port Dover Family Dentistry and had one of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had. The moment I walked in, I noticed how clean and well-organized everything was. The clinic clearly maintains very high hygiene standards, which made me feel comfortable right away. Dr. Bukhari and his team were extremely professional and kind throughout my visit. They took the time to explain each step clearly, which really helped me feel at ease. It was obvious that patient care and comfort are a top priority for them. Dr. Bukhari addressed my dental concerns with a calm approach. His confidence, skill, and attention to detail were evident throughout the appointment. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, answered all my questions patiently, and made sure I was comfortable at every step - I truly felt in good hands. I left the clinic not just with a healthier smile, but also feeling genuinely looked after. I’d definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality dental care.
