Questions parents often ask
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see the dentist?
Many dental organizations suggest a first visit around the first tooth or first birthday. If your child is older and has not been seen yet, that is fine; simply book a visit and mention it is their first.
Can I stay with my child during the appointment?
Parents are usually welcome, especially with younger children. Let the team know your preference. Some older children like a bit of independence, and that can be discussed too.
Is children’s care provided in Pine Grove?
No. All children’s appointments happen at our Port Dover office at 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2. These guides help Pine Grove families prepare before the visit.
