During your child's initial visit, we will make them as relaxed as possible. Our kids' dentist in Hamilton will get to know them and their dental history, dental problems and medical history. We will explain everything to them simply so they know what to expect.

When your child establishes a good oral care routine early, they're able to avoid problems such as cavities, bite issues and gum disease. Your child should have their first dental visit as soon as their first tooth appears.
