Baby teeth help our kids to smile, chew, speak properly and hold the space in the jaw for adult teeth to come in. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain healthy baby teeth as good oral health means a healthy growing child.

At Lionsgate Family Dental, we firmly believe in the significance of preventative dental care, and we encourage parents to bring their kids for an oral and dental check-up from around age 2 to get them acquainted with the office and for us to examine and clean their teeth. Some of the ways to help prepare your child for their first appointment include reading to them children’s books about going to the dentist and bringing along a favourite toy to their appointment.

Regular dental check-ups will ensure that kids will not suffer from untreated dental decay or other oral diseases and encourages them to stay vigilant regarding their dental health. Since most kids are anxious to visit a doctor a dentist, we make sure to introduce your kids to the world of dentistry in a desirable way. If your child needs dental treatment and is anxious, we have advanced training in Nitrous Oxide sedation, also known as laughing gas, so that your child can have a more comfortable dental experience.

We at Lionsgate Family Dental strive to offer the most satisfying and credible dental care for your kids, so visit our clinic at 1509 Eastern Avenue, North Vancouver or call us at 604-980-0112.
