What happens at a pediatric dental visit?

Each visit is tailored to your child's age and needs. It may include an exam, a gentle cleaning, guidance on brushing, flossing and nutrition, and a check for cavities, gum concerns or bite and alignment changes. For teens, we may also review wisdom teeth and discuss orthodontic options.

Pediatric Dentistry FAQs

Dental associations generally recommend a first visit around your child's first birthday, or within about six months of the first tooth appearing. At City Oasis Dental, we welcome patients from infancy and a child's first visit can include guidance on gum care, feeding, and nutrition even before the first tooth erupts.

Many children are seen about every six months for a check-up and cleaning, but the right schedule depends on your child's age, oral health, and risk of cavities. Our team will recommend a routine that fits your child, and regular dental cleanings play an essential role in maintaining young smiles.

Each visit is tailored to your child's age and needs. It may include an examination, a gentle cleaning, instruction on brushing and flossing, and a evaluation of tooth and bite development. For teens, we may also check wisdom teeth alignment and review orthodontic options.

No. You do not need a referral from your family doctor. You can request an appointment online or call 647-980-1200.

Let us know before the visit and we will take things at your child's pace. Previewing the office through clinic photos or a virtual tour helps children know what to expect, and dental sedation options are available when extra support is needed.
