Good dental habits and gentle visits start early.
Children’s teeth change quickly, from the first baby tooth through to a full set of adult teeth. Along the way, families have questions about cleanings, cavities, thumb sucking, crooked teeth and what to do after a fall. This guide gathers our children’s services in one place so Windham Centre parents can find the right information for their child’s age and stage.
Every visit takes place at our Port Dover office, where the team adapts its pace and language to each child. Let us know about your child’s worries, health needs and past dental experiences when you call, so the appointment can be planned to feel as calm as possible.

Children’s dentistry questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
A first visit is often suggested around the time the first tooth appears or by the first birthday. If your child is older and has not been seen yet, it is not too late to book a gentle introductory appointment.
Can I stay with my child during the visit?
Parents are generally welcome to stay, especially with younger children. Some older children prefer to go in on their own. The team can suggest what is most likely to help your child feel comfortable.
Is there a children’s dental office in Windham Centre?
