Children's Dentist in Hamilton

If you’re looking for a dentist for your children, Hamilton is the place to be. We’re a family dental office that helps look after your children’s needs, therefore, you can rely on us to provide a high level of oral care to your children, no matter their age, so they can have a healthy smile during the most important years of their life.

Dentistry for Children from 1988 to Today

Here at Century Stone Dental, our dental team strives to provide the same care for your children that we would want for our own. We love helping children and truly enjoy this aspect of our jobs. Paying a visit to a dental office is not always easy for them so we strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

More importantly, we prioritize preventative care to support dental health. By educating children and parents on proper oral hygiene, and providing preventative dental care, like cleaning and checkups, we help support healthy smiles for children.

Cleaning & Prevention

Before we bring your child (or children) in for their cleaning services, we’ll greet them with a warm smile and offer them whatever they need to feel at ease before being seated in the chair. Next, our dentist starts by examining their teeth to ensure they are free of cavities or other complications and determine the best course of action.

Polishing

We want to make your children’s dental experience fun, therefore, we offer different flavours and let them choose what they’d like. Polishing can help their teeth shine again after being applied to each tooth gently. It removes any existing stains or plaque.

Dentistry Sedation Options to Complement Our Hamilton Services

If your child is still very nervous, anxious or stressed while in our office, your dentist can offer them sedation services. This can add to your child’s comfort. Nitrous oxide, also referred to as laughing gas, is a safe and efficient way to relax your kids so we can proceed with the appointment. It is a lighter form of sedation than oral sedation, so we offer nitrous oxide as an option for children. Canadian guidance on dental care for children considers the procedure safe.

Nitrous oxide sedation dentistry is safe for adults and children alike and is applied with the help of a mask. After your child’s dental treatment is over and the mask is removed, they’ll feel back to normal in no time.

Here for All of Your Child’s Dental Treatment Needs

Even though these baby, primary teeth will fall out and be replaced, it is still important to care for them, or your child may develop gum disease, and tooth decay can spread to the permanent teeth. We will offer your children a friendly atmosphere while we provide oral and dental care to support healthy teeth. Whether they just require a general cleaning during their six-month appointment, updating x-rays, or providing restorative care, we provide appropriate oral care through their important developmental milestones and provide education to promote oral hygiene habits for life.

We’re a well-known family dentistry office in Hamilton and can handle a wide range of dental care requirements. In rare cases where dental development concerns call for care beyond general dentistry, we will refer you to a trusted children’s dental office with the training to fully care for your child’s teeth.

Dentistry for children is a branch of dentistry that requires extra dental school education; if there is a special need or developmental concern, a dentist with that training has the depth to help. For other children’s dental services, we can help!

We’re a dental team in Hamilton with years of valuable experience treating children with all of their needs in a relaxed environment. From their very first appointment with our gentle and professional dentists to thoroughly treating any early signs of tooth decay (which can occur even under the age of one), we want your children to grow up looking and feeling their absolute best.

When Should I Book My Toddler’s First Dental Appointment?

We recommend bringing your kids/toddlers for their very first dental appointment to our comfortable office in Hamilton when they are between 2 and 3 years old. We care about your family very much, therefore, we don’t just want to check their teeth. We want to be there for them as much as possible and ensure they are as healthy as can be. This means we will also provide important information on things like teething, pacifier habits, bottle habits (particularly drinking milk late at night), and how to keep their gums sparkling clean.

We will perform a thorough check of your child’s teeth and mouth, to ensure teeth are developing properly. We work hard to make a child feel as comfortable as possible, while providing oral and dental care to help support healthy smiles.

Convenient Dentistry When You Need It Most

Being a friendly dental team for children in Hamilton means we’re trusted professionals when it comes to your kids, but we’re here for every other member of your family too. Here at Century Stone Dental, we ensure the children, teens, young adults and seniors in your family receive a custom dental care plan dedicated to address their particular needs. We look forward to treating your entire family!

We are in Hamilton after all, which means our patients have busy schedules.
