Explore care for Cultus patientsFrom first tooth to teenage years
Dental care that keeps pace with a growing child.
A toddler meeting the dentist for the first time needs something very different from a ten-year-old with a loose tooth or a teenager heading into hockey season. This page gathers our children’s services by stage, so Cultus parents can find information that matches where their child is right now.
All children’s appointments take place at our Port Dover office. When you call, share your child’s age, any worries they have and anything that has helped or upset them at past visits. Those details let our team plan a calmer, more predictable appointment.

Parents’ questions from Cultus
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
A visit around the first tooth or first birthday is commonly recommended. If your child is older and has not been yet, booking now is still worthwhile, and the first visit will be adapted to their age and comfort.
Can siblings have appointments on the same day?
Often, depending on the schedule. Mention each child’s age and what they need when you call, and the team will let you know which arrangements are possible for a single trip to Port Dover.
What should I do if my child knocks out a tooth?
Do not put a baby tooth back in. For an adult tooth, hold it by the crown, keep it in milk and call the office right away. Seek emergency medical care first for a head injury or breathing difficulty.
