Children’s dental care that grows along with them.
A child’s mouth changes constantly, from the first baby tooth to a full set of adult teeth. Along the way come first visits, cleanings, sealants, the occasional cavity and questions about thumb sucking or crowding. Long Point families, whether there all year or for the warm months, can use this guide to find information for each stage and to prepare their child for what a visit involves.
All children’s appointments are at our Port Dover office. Tell the team about your child’s personality, worries or sensory needs when booking, so the visit can be paced and explained in a way that suits them.

Children’s dentistry questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
A first visit is often suggested once the first tooth appears or around the first birthday. If that time has passed, it is still worth booking now. The dentist can review your child’s teeth at any age.
We are only at Long Point for the summer. Can my child be seen?
Yes. Mention your seasonal schedule and the details of your child’s other dentist. Records can be shared with your consent so checkups and any treatment stay coordinated between offices.
What if my child is very nervous?
Tell the team when booking. The visit can be kept short and gentle, with each step explained first. Building familiarity over several positive visits often helps anxious children feel more at ease.
