Family Dental Care
in Westboro Ottawa

We recommend that you schedule a dental appointment for your child within 6 months of their tooth coming in or before they reach their first birthday! At this first appointment, we use the time to introduce your child to our dental team and the environment so that they feel more comfortable during future visits. We focus on providing you, the parent, with all the necessary information and recommendations for maintaining a good oral hygiene plan with your child.

Regular dental check-ups are critical for maintaining optimal oral health. These regular check-ups involve an examination of your oral health and a teeth cleaning. This helps to avoid any serious (and expensive!) future problems. No matter how good of an oral health routine you have, some dental issues have serious consequences if left undetected.

There are many things you can do to maintain your oral health between dental appointments. Brushing your teeth 2 to 3 times a day (when you wake up, before you go to sleep at night, after meals if possible). Daily or regular flossing is also recommended to ensure you’re removing any food or substances from between your teeth that contribute to cavities.

Contact our dental office if you have any more questions regarding your oral health routine for you or your family.

Dental anxiety is common in both adults and children. If your child is experiencing dental anxiety, they might show fear or stress associated with dental settings. They may not want to go, feel anxious, scared, stressed, or even feel sick to their stomachs.

At Sekhon Family Dentistry, we take dental anxiety very seriously and strive to make all of our patients, both young and old, feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Avoiding the dentist for routine checkups due to dental anxiety is very common and can lead to serious dental and oral problems.

Contact our dental office if you have any more questions regarding our family dental practice or how we can help with dental anxiety.

At Sekhon Family Dentistry, we want all of our patients to feel as comfortable as possible. Helping with dental anxiety can start in the home with your kids. At home, you can help relieve stress through education. Walking them through what they might expect once they go to the dentist can help relieve some of the stress and uncertainty they might be feeling. Even role-playing and pretending to check your child’s teeth with fake instruments can reduce their anxiety levels.

On our end, we will do everything we can in order to make your kids feel comfortable in the dental chair, whether that’s using distractions like music, watching movies, encouraging them to communicate, or encouraging them to ask for breaks if they need them.
