Questions from Nanticoke parents
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
A common guideline is within about six months of the first tooth or around the first birthday. If your child is older and has not been seen yet, book whenever you can; it is never too late to start.
Do you see children at a Nanticoke location?
No. All children’s appointments take place at our Port Dover office. These pages help Nanticoke families prepare for visits and understand the care available.
What if my child is very nervous?
Let the team know when booking. Shorter visits, careful explanations and a gradual approach can help. For some children, comfort options such as nitrous oxide may be discussed with the dentist.
