Care that keeps pace with a growing child.
Children’s dental needs change quickly. A toddler meeting the dentist for the first time, a school-aged child getting sealants and a teenager who needs a mouthguard for hockey all need different things. Families from Peacock Point can use this page to find the service that fits their child’s stage.
All children’s care is provided at our Port Dover office. When you call, tell us your child’s age, how they usually handle new experiences and anything you have noticed about their teeth, so we can plan a visit that feels manageable.

Parents’ questions from Peacock Point
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
My child is seen by another dentist in winter. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Let us know the other office’s details so records and X-rays can be shared with your consent. That helps both dentists follow your child’s development without repeating tests.
What if my child refuses to open their mouth?
It happens often, especially with young children. The team can slow down, try a gentle introduction and keep the first visit short. Positive experiences tend to build comfort over time.
Do you have a children’s office in Peacock Point?
No. All children’s appointments take place at our Port Dover office on Norfolk County Highway 6. These pages help Peacock Point families prepare before they visit.
