Laying the Foundation for a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles

Early dental care is essential for your child’s oral health and overall development. Establishing good dental habits from a young age helps prevent cavities, supports proper jaw development, and ensures a smooth transition from baby teeth to adult teeth.

We understand that balancing a busy family schedule can be challenging, which is why we offer flexible hours and grouped appointments to make visits more convenient. As your child grows, they will experience key dental milestones, such as their first checkup (recommended by age one), the loss of baby teeth, and the eruption of permanent teeth. Orthodontic evaluations may also be necessary to assess alignment and bite, and learning proper oral hygiene habits early on helps set them up for lifelong dental health.

By prioritizing regular dental visits and preventive care, we help ensure your child maintains strong, healthy teeth well into adulthood. Visit a trusted Children’s Dentist in Toronto to start your child’s dental journey.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s best to bring your child to the dentist by age one or within six months of their first tooth erupting—usually around six months old. Early visits prevent issues and ensure a positive experience. If your child experiences discomfort or pain, schedule an appointment right away. It’s never too late for their first checkup!

Baby teeth are just as important as adult teeth. They hold space for permanent teeth, support jaw development, and aid in speech, facial structure, and eating habits. Early dental issues can affect chewing, food preferences, and self-confidence. Addressing them helps ensure healthy smiles for life.

The first appointment typically lasts about an hour, depending on your child’s needs and how cooperative they are during the exam.

Your child should visit the dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning, similar to adults. If they experience tooth pain, jaw discomfort, or sensitivity to hot or cold foods, an earlier visit is recommended.

Cavities form when bacteria and plaque break down tooth enamel, leading to decay and infection if untreated. Sugary and acidic foods can speed up cavity formation. Some children are more prone to cavities due to genetics or oral habits. Even baby teeth with cavities should be treated to prevent further damage and discomfort.

Oral health includes not just teeth, but gums, tongue, jaw joints, and bone structure. Poor gum health can lead to inflammation, discomfort, and more serious conditions. Swollen, sore, or bleeding gums may indicate early gum disease, which should be treated promptly.

Have been with Leaside dental for more than 10 years now. They have always been very tentative and make me and my family feel at home! Even though dentist appointment can be stressful but the hygienists, dentist and even front desk person always gave us warm welcome every time we visit. I believe trust and relationship is the main reason why I keep coming back and trust the expertise of them! Highly recommend esp if you live in the area.

My experience here was fantastic. I booked my appointment through their website and the follow-through communication from Meron was efficient and helpful. During the appointment, Meron was just as helpful (and friendly) in getting my paperwork sorted. Shairoz was professional during my cleaning and kept me informed on what she observed with recommendations on how to improve them. The space is clean with enough sitting space, and even a little entertainment set-up for kids. Their office is on the 2nd floor, and can be accessed either via elevator or stairs. The doors are also accessible.

Dentist and the staff are very polite. Take their time to explain things. Dentist takes time to consider other health conditions and recommends treatments based on what is best for me. I drive over an hour to visit the clinic at least twice a year. Overall an excellent setup.
