Children’s dentistry is preventive work above all: watching teeth arrive in the right order, catching decay while it is still a small filling, and building the habit of a dentist being somewhere unremarkable to go. Canadian guidance is that the first visit happens by a child’s first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing — far earlier than most parents expect, and deliberately so.
Baby teeth matter more than their short lifespan suggests. They hold the space that adult teeth need to come into, shape speech, and make eating comfortable. An early lost baby tooth can crowd the permanent tooth behind it years later, which is why we treat decay in baby teeth rather than waiting for them to fall out.
Routine visits run on a simple rhythm, but some things should not wait for the next one.
Preventive first, and treatment kept as small and as gentle as the situation allows:
Short and friendly. A count of the teeth, a look at how they are arriving, and a chance for your child to meet the chair with nothing happening in it.
Prevention that works. A gentle clean and a fluoride varnish that strengthens enamel against the cavities children are most prone to.
Sealing the grooves. A thin protective coating over the deep pits of back molars, where the great majority of childhood cavities begin.
When something is wrong. Tooth-coloured fillings, and same-week attention for knocks, chips and toothache. See our emergency page for what to do first.
A child’s checkup is usually shorter and simpler than an adult visit. In Ontario, a children’s dental exam with any needed x-rays is typically quoted between about $100 and $300, with a cleaning and fluoride adding roughly $100 to $200 depending on the time needed. Most family insurance plans cover children’s preventive visits at set intervals, and children in eligible families are covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan — we are happy to help you check before you book.
You see the exact cost in writing before any treatment begins — no surprises at the front desk.
We help you understand your coverage and submit claims, so you know your real out-of-pocket cost.
Sol Dental Studio accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan for eligible patients.
The same six-month visit looks quite different at three, at eight and at fifteen.
Keep the language neutral at home — words like sore or needle plant ideas that were not there. Booking earlier in the day, before a child is tired, makes a real difference.
We show the instruments before using them, explain each step in plain words, and go at your child’s pace. A parent stays alongside for as long as it helps.
You get a straight account of what we found and what, if anything, to do next — plus one or two specific habits to work on rather than a long list.
Most childhood cavities come down to a handful of habits, and how often sugar appears matters more than how much:

The best time to visit a pediatric dentist is by your child’s first birthday or as soon as their first tooth appears.
Limit sugar and encourage routine brushing, flossing, and make sure to take your child to Sol Dental for regular cleanings to help prevent cavities from forming.
Baby teeth help children chew, speak clearly, and maintain space for permanent teeth. Keeping them healthy supports proper oral development.
Yes. Modern digital X-rays use very low levels of radiation and are only taken when necessary to monitor your child’s oral health and development.
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to help prevent cavities. They are commonly recommended for children and teens.
Our kids’ dental team is dedicated to making your child’s dental work, such as fillings, crowns, or simple extractions, as pleasant as possible.
Contact your pediatric dentist as soon as possible. Tooth pain may be caused by decay, infection, injury, or other dental issues that require professional care.
A gentle pace, plain-language explanations and zero judgment. Parents are welcome chairside, and we keep first visits positive so the dentist never becomes something to fear.
Yes — children in eligible families without private coverage are within the CDCP’s scope. We’ll help you confirm eligibility and what’s covered before the visit — see our CDCP page.
