Laurel Dental & Copperwood Dental
Children’s Dental Care in Edmonton

We know that visiting the dentist can feel a little scary, so we work hard to make it something your child can look forward to!

A Fun and Relaxing First Visit

We want your child’s first dental visit to be fun and stress-free. They can watch their favorite TV show with headphones on to help them stay relaxed. If your child needs a procedure, we use a gentle numbing tool called The Wand. This special tool makes the freezing process easier and less scary. We also warm the numbing solution to body temperature, so it feels more natural and comfortable.

Children’s Dental Services in Edmonton

At Laurel and Copperwood Dental, we offer many services to help your child keep a healthy smile:

  • Preventing and treating cavities: Regular checkups help prevent cavities, and we provide gentle treatment when needed.
  • Fluoride treatments: Fluoride strengthens teeth and helps prevent decay.
  • Digital x-rays: We use safe, up-to-date technology to find and fix dental issues early.
  • Sedation options: For children with dental anxiety, we offer safe sedation to help them feel calm and comfortable.

Helping Your Child’s Teeth Grow Strong

We help guide your child’s dental growth and development to prevent future problems. Our team can help with:

  • Thumb-sucking and pacifiers: We give parents advice on how to manage these habits so they don’t affect your child’s teeth.
  • Nutrition: We help parents understand which foods are good for their child’s teeth.
  • Eruption guidance: As baby teeth fall out and adult teeth grow in, we help make sure everything is on track, reducing the need for future orthodontics.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Canadian Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (CAPD) recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. Early visits help establish good dental habits and allow the dentist to spot potential issues before they become bigger problems.

Children should visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings, just like adults. Regular visits help maintain oral health, prevent cavities, and allow the dentist to monitor your child’s dental development.

It’s normal for children to feel anxious about visiting the dentist. You can ease their fears by explaining what will happen in simple, positive terms. Pediatric dentists are trained to work with children and can help make the experience fun and comfortable.

Good oral hygiene is key. Make sure your child brushes twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flosses daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and encourage water consumption. Regular dental visits also help keep cavities in check.

Baby teeth play a crucial role in your child’s development. They help with chewing, speaking, and holding space for adult teeth. Healthy baby teeth set the foundation for a healthy smile in the future.

Orthodontics for Children at our Edmonton office

Setting the Foundation for a Perfect Smile

We believe early intervention is key to a healthy, straight smile. That’s why we offer early orthodontic evaluations and treatments for children. By guiding the growth of your child’s jaw and palate, we can correct bite issues before they become more serious. Some of the orthodontic problems we treat include:

  • Overbites
  • Underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Crowded teeth

Our orthodontic treatments involve a variety of appliances that are custom-fit to your child’s needs. To make the process more enjoyable, your child can choose their favorite color or add fun stickers to their dental appliances. We also offer Children’s Invisalign and Teens’ Invisalign for a more comfortable and nearly invisible way to straighten teeth.


Emergency Pediatric Dentist Edmonton

If your child has a dental emergency, like a broken or knocked-out tooth, we provide quick and gentle care to get them smiling again. We’re a trusted kids’ emergency dentist in Edmonton, and we’re here when you need us.

Building Good Dental Habits

We want children to have a positive attitude toward dental care. We help teach kids and parents the basics of good oral hygiene, like brushing and flossing. Our team makes dental care fun, so children feel confident about taking care of their own teeth.
