Explore care for Boston patientsFrom first tooth to teenage years
Dental care that keeps pace with a growing child.
Children’s dental needs change quickly. A toddler’s first visit is mostly about getting comfortable, a school-age child may need sealants or a filling, and a preteen may be due for a look at how adult teeth are lining up. The sections below follow those stages so parents can find the topics that fit right now.
Families from Boston bring their children to our Port Dover office for all of this care. When you call, mention your child’s age, any worries they have about the dentist and anything you have noticed at home, so the visit can be planned around them.

Children’s dentistry questions from Boston
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
Many families book around the time the first tooth appears or by the first birthday. Early visits let the dentist check development and give practical advice on brushing and diet before problems start, while visits stay short and friendly.
Can I stay with my child during the appointment?
Parents are often welcome, particularly with younger children. Mention your preference when booking. Some older children cope better on their own, and the team can help you decide what suits your child at each age.
Is there a children’s dental office in Boston?
No. All children’s visits described on these pages take place at Port Dover Family Dentistry, 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2, in Port Dover. The Boston pages simply help local families plan ahead before they make the trip.
