Dental care that keeps up with growing kids.
A baby getting a first tooth, a seven-year-old with a wobbly front tooth and a teen heading out to hockey practice all need different things from the dentist. This page gathers our children’s services by stage and concern, so Silver Hill parents can find the right starting point.
Visits take place at our Port Dover office. When you call, tell us your child’s age, how they usually feel about new places and anything you have noticed, so the team can plan an appointment that suits them.

Is there a children’s dental office in Silver Hill?
Children from Silver Hill are seen at our Port Dover office at 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2. We do not have a separate location in Silver Hill.
