Your family's oral health is important to you. Our team at RV Dental in Thornhill will work with you to help keep your child's oral health on track as their smiles grow.
Our goal is to make sure your children maintain their oral health. Together, we will educate your family on good at-home care routines to help ensure your kids start their oral habits off healthy!
Your child’s dental visit may be covered by the Canada Dental Benefit (CDB).
Your Child's First Visit
We strive to make your kids feel comfortable. Our dedicated team will walk you through the process of introducing your children to visiting the dentist.
We'll teach them how to brush their teeth properly and to have some fun too!
Baby and Toddlers Exam
We recommend that children, accompanied by their parents, visit the dentist as soon as the first teeth appear.
Afterwards, regular checkups and cleanings go a long way to preventing problems before they occur.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
At RV Dental, we recommend that you bring your family to visit the dentist twice a year at least, or more often recommended by our dentists based on your oral health needs.
We will do a thorough assessment of their overall oral health and ensure they are comfortable with our team.
During your child's appointment, we will show them:
- How to brush their teeth
- How to floss their teeth
- How often to brush and floss for a healthy smile
Let us help your family get to know our team and services. Come in for a visit, and learn more about us! Contact us today.
