General dentistry questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Where should I start if I am new to the practice?
A new patient exam is usually the best first step if there is no urgent problem. If you have pain, swelling or a broken tooth, mention it when you call so a more focused assessment can be discussed instead.
Can I book a cleaning without an exam?
Ask the office when you call. Cleanings and exams are often scheduled together so the dentist can review your hygiene visit findings. The team can explain what is recommended based on when you were last seen.
Is there a dental office in Selkirk itself?
No. These pages are for Selkirk residents who visit our practice in Port Dover. Our office is located at 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2, Port Dover, and all care takes place there.
