From the first tooth through the teen years.
Children’s teeth change quickly, and so do their needs. A toddler’s first visit is about getting comfortable, while a ten-year-old may need sealants, a mouthguard or a check on how adult teeth are coming in. This page organizes our children’s services so Walsh parents can quickly find what fits their child right now.
Visits take place at our Port Dover office, with explanations pitched at a child’s level and time for parents’ questions. If your child is nervous or has particular needs, let the team know when booking so the appointment can be planned around them from the start.

Children’s dental care for Walsh families
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Where will my child be seen?
All children’s appointments take place at Port Dover Family Dentistry in Port Dover. There is no separate office in Walsh; these pages help local families plan their visits.
When should my child first see a dentist?
A common guideline is around the first tooth or first birthday. If your child is older and has not been yet, booking now is still worthwhile, and earlier if you notice spots or pain.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
Let us know when booking. The team can slow the pace, explain each step and suggest preparation ideas. For significant anxiety, the dentist may discuss other comfort options.
