Children’s teeth change a great deal between the first baby tooth and the last adult molar. Along the way, families face questions about brushing, snacks, nerves at the dentist, cavities, crooked teeth and the occasional injury. This page brings our children’s services together so Villa Nova parents can find what applies right now.
Visits happen at our Port Dover office. When you call, share your child’s age, any worries and what helps them feel settled, and the team can suggest a suitable appointment.

Children’s dentistry questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first visit the dentist?
Many families book around the first tooth or first birthday. If your child is older and has not been yet, it is still a good time to start.
Can I stay with my child during appointments?
Parents are often welcome, especially with younger children. Let the team know your preference and anything that helps your child feel secure.
