Pediatric Dentist in Surrey, BC


Pediatric dentistry is a specialty field in the dental industry that focuses on the growth, development, and care of children's teeth. A pediatric dentist is trained to provide specialized care for infants, toddlers, and children up until their teenage years. At Smiles @ Fleetwood, parents can rest assured that their child will receive personalized attention and treatment tailored to the needs of their child's teeth. We have the specialty training to provide pediatric dental care to treat children of all ages. From their baby teeth to their adult teeth, our kid friendly environment makes dental visits fun and effective. 

Creating positive experiences is a priority for pediatric dental offices like ours. Children should feel welcome, safe, and comfortable during their visit. These crucial aspects will instil confidence in young patients, making every child's dental care easier and more enjoyable. It will also make them more comfortable as they receive treatment from adolescence into adulthood. 

Our pediatric dentists work hard to ensure that each child has a positive experience by utilizing kid-friendly waiting rooms, interactive tools such as iPads during treatment, and giving out fun rewards to reinforce good dental habits. Our pediatric dentists also make an effort to use simple and positive language, helping your child feel more at ease in the dentist's chair. All in all, we strive to make every dental experience as positive as can be with our welcoming atmosphere, safe practices, and deep understanding of pediatric dentistry.

Pediatric Dentistry Services

Your child's teeth have special needs that require expert attention. Children's teeth grow and change at a rapid pace, making them prone to cavities, misalignment, and other concerns if not handled with proper care. Regular visits to a pediatric or general dentist can prevent dental problems and help your child establish a good hygiene routine.

At Smiles @ Fleetwood, we provide specialized care to maintain your child's dental health. To set your child up for a lifetime of good oral hygiene, our team can monitor their health and development, prevent cavities, decay, and infection with professional cleaning, provide early orthodontic intervention, and establish healthy, at-home care routines.

When should your child come in for their first dentist appointment? According to the Canadian Dental Association, children should have their teeth professionally examined within six months of their first tooth coming through or around their first birthday, whichever comes first. This way, we can detect issues early on and provide preventative care if needed.

Child Oral X-Ray

X-rays are essential for detecting potential issues with baby teeth and ensuring the proper development of adult teeth. A great diagnostic tool, X-rays allow our pediatric dentists to spot issues below the surface, including cavities, the location of adult teeth, hidden trauma, and more. Our experienced kids' dentist uses state-of-the-art equipment to capture clear images while ensuring your child has a positive experience. We understand that some children may be anxious about their visit to the dentist, so we prioritize creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for all our young patients.

Pediatric Dental Checkups

Preventative dental care is key to your child's long-term oral health. The first visit with our young patients typically occurs around a child's first birthday; however, certain health concerns like lip ties or tongue ties should be addressed immediately. We believe in creating positive experiences for our young patients, which is why we take a gentle and reassuring approach during each visit. Our pediatric dentist in Surrey will conduct a thorough examination of your child's mouth, teeth, and gums, and go over any concerns or questions you may have. Since healthy smiles start at home, we can advise on proper oral hygiene practices to ensure your child maintains good dental health between visits.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Cavities are one of the most chronic diseases Canadian children face, making prevention and treatment essential. We understand that cavity fillings can be a daunting experience for children. That's why our team of experienced dentists provides exceptional, gentle care with your child's comfort and health in mind. For child dental fillings, we recommend using either tooth-coloured or composite fillings to prevent decaying and act as a more affordable option for a temporary baby tooth. We use the latest techniques and materials to ensure a pain-free and stress-free experience for your child, while also ensuring that your child's oral health is properly maintained.

Child Dental Extractions

A simple and routine procedure, tooth extractions are sometimes needed when a tooth has become diseased or damaged. For children and adults alike, dental extractions can be a scary experience. But our friendly and patient staff will always provide exceptional, gentle care to prioritize your child's comfort and well-being during extractions. When you come into our dentists office, we will make the process as lighthearted and enjoyable as possible. We will talk you and your child through the entire process, avoiding intimidating language to ensure your child's comfort. From the initial consultation to the procedure, after-care, and follow-up appointments, we can make your child's tooth extraction a positive experience.

Pediatric Sedation Dentistry

Young children with dental pain or infection, or who are undergoing dental surgery may need to go under general anesthesia or sedation. Sometimes it's essential for the dental procedure, other times it is helpful to put an anxious child at ease. There are several sedation options available, however, we most commonly administer nitrous oxide (commonly known as 'laughing gas') which is a mild form of sedation. Whether your child needs to remain completely still, undergo multiple procedures, or is simply scared by the sound of the drill, we can provide safe and effective sedation to give your child a pain-free experience.
