The Cataraqui Dental Centre believes that a child's first dental experience should be a positive one. Often times it is recommended that a small child be brought with a parent or older sibling for a visit prior to their first actual appointment. It is strongly advisable that a child's first examination happen between the ages of 3 to 4 years old and hopefully before there are any concerns present. This will enable the child to build a trusting rapport with our dental team in a comfortable kid friendly environment.

Our children's room is filled with toys and dental education materials specifically geared to children and their parents. The children of our practice love being members of our "No Cavities Club" which means if they are cavity- free at their check-up they have their picture taken and added to our Wall of Fame. All children under the age of 12 are given dental report cards, which act as great communication tools between our office and the parents. It is also a nice keep sake for the children and it provides a means to compare their advancement from one appointment to the/next. Click here to see eruption schedule chart.
