Frequently asked questions about Children's Dentist

When should my child first see a dentist?

By their first birthday or when the first tooth appears, then every six months. Early visits build comfort and prevent problems.

Does the CDCP cover children's dental care?

Yes — eligible children are covered for exams, cleanings, fillings, and more. Check individual clinic pages to confirm CDCP acceptance.

How do I prepare an anxious child for the dentist?

Choose a pediatric or kid-friendly clinic, keep your tone positive, and consider a 'meet the dentist' visit first. Many clinics specialize in nervous young patients.
