Explore care for Nixon patientsCare that grows with your child
Good habits and gentle visits make a lasting difference.
Children’s teeth change quickly, from the first baby tooth to a full set of adult molars. Along the way, families may need checkups, cleanings, protection against cavities, repairs, advice about habits and, now and then, help with an injury. This page brings those services together for parents in Nixon.
Every visit takes place at our Port Dover office. Let the team know your child’s age, any worries and what tends to help them feel settled. The aim is to keep appointments positive so children grow up comfortable with dental care.

Questions from 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 recommendation is around the time the first tooth appears or by the first birthday. The team can talk through timing and what to expect at a first visit.
Can I stay with my child during the appointment?
Many children feel more secure with a parent nearby. Ask about arrangements when booking, and the team can suggest how best to support your child during the visit.
What should I do if my child knocks out a tooth?
Do not put a baby tooth back. For an adult tooth, hold it by the crown, replant it or store it in milk and call right away. Seek emergency care for any head injury.
