Planning your visit from Turkey Point
Making the trip from Turkey Point easier
Pick a time when your child is usually rested, perhaps not straight after a long day on the sand. Ask whether siblings can be booked together, and bring records from your home dentist if you are here for the season.
Appointments take place at our Port Dover office. When requesting a time, let us know you are coming from Turkey Point and ask about the expected visit length.

Questions from Turkey Point parents
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
Many children have a first visit around the time their first teeth appear or by their first birthday. If your child is older and has not been seen yet, it is still a good time to start.
Can summer visitors book children’s checkups?
Yes. Families staying in Turkey Point for the season can book at our Port Dover office. Sharing records with your regular dentist keeps care consistent.
What should I do if my child knocks out a tooth?
Do not replant a baby tooth. For an adult tooth, handle it by the crown, keep it in milk and call a dentist immediately. Seek emergency care for head injury or heavy bleeding.
