A Kid-Friendly Family Clinic for Early Childhood Dental Care

Parents trust us and children love us! At Bank Street Dentistry of Ottawa, we are a family dental clinic dedicated to meeting your special needs. Dr. Nasrin Saba welcomes you to our kid-friendly office, where we focus on the little things that make a visit to the dentist more enjoyable for you and your kids.

Importance of Early Childhood Dental Care at Ottawa

Early childhood dental care is crucial for the development of strong and healthy teeth and forms the foundation for a lifetime of proper oral hygiene. Children who learn to care for their teeth are more likely to practice good hygiene habits later in life, resulting in fewer dental problems and costs.

Risk Factors for Tooth Decay in Children

Research shows that several habits during the first two years of a child's life increase their risk of developing tooth decay, including improper brushing habits, poor food choices, and an unbalanced diet. Developing cavities in primary teeth also increases the risk of developing them in permanent teeth. Therefore, we recommend bringing your child in for their first children's dental visit as early as one year of age.

Preventive Dental Care for Children at Bank Street Dentistry

Our dental clinic provides comprehensive preventive dental care to help children avoid dental problems and maintain healthy teeth. This includes teaching children proper brushing and flossing techniques and providing diet counseling to make healthier food choices that promote good oral health. Regular dental checkups are also crucial to maintaining good oral health, and our dental professionals recommend that children visit our clinic twice a year for routine dental exams.

Fluoride Treatment for Children and Tailored Treatment Plans

We offer fluoride treatments to children to help strengthen their tooth enamel and protect against cavities. Our dental professionals can determine the appropriate frequency and dosage of fluoride treatment based on the child's age and dental needs. We also create a tailored treatment plan specific to each patient's needs, which includes a review of the child's brushing, flossing, and fluoride use, as well as any necessary treatment to address dental problems.

Creating a Positive Experience for Children at the Dentist

At Bank Street Dentistry of Ottawa, we believe in making dental visits as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for children. Regular visits to our office can prevent unhealthy teeth and costly treatments further on in life
