Kids Dentistry Toronto

Pediatric dentistry, also referred to simply as pedodontics, is a highly specialized field of treatment for children that we offer here at Bay College Dental Center. 

This section of dentistry focuses specifically on children – covering a wide variety of conditions or diseases that can affect the way their teeth develop. Nitrous Oxide, also referred to as “laughing gas” is offered to children to help calming them down throughout their dental procedure.

Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care for your child and our mission is to make the experience as pleasant and as fun as possible to facilitate a positive attitude towards dental health in your child.  We are thrilled that you have visited our website, and hope that it provides useful information regarding our services and your child’s oral health care needs.

Sealants are a fast and easy way of protecting your child’s teeth that act as barriers to cavity-prone areas. They are usually applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth and sometimes used to cover deep pits and grooves. Both primary and permanent teeth can benefit from sealants

The regular application of topical fluoride, early detection of orthodontic (bite) problems, and an evaluation for cavities are part of preventive dental health.

Hygiene Services 

Bay College Dental Center offers comprehensive cleaning using scaling techniques to keep your gums healthy and avoid encountering tissue problems.

  • Scaling with ultrasonic instruments is the process in which our dental team clean plaque from our patients’ teeth using an ultrasonic device that clears off the tartar and wash it away with a water spray.  
  • Scaling with hand-held instruments is the process in which our dental team use a dental scaler and curette to manually remove (scale) the plaque from our patients’ teeth. During the scaling process, our dental staff rely on touch to identify rough spots and areas of tartar build-up as they can’t see the plague.

Polishing:

  • It is done using a slow speed hand piece with a soft rubber cup that spins on the end after cleaning. This process leaves the teeth shiny and smooth. 

Fluoride:

  • To aid in the prevention of dental caries, we provide our patients different flavors of fluoride such as mint, peppermint, and strawberry. 60 seconds fluride application (Rinse or Gel)

In combination with oral examinations and routine cleanings, it is recommended that you also seek other preventative hygiene services such as gum disease treatments or even professional breath control treatments. 

Fluoridation is generally (not universally) utilized by dentists and many other practitioners due to its effectiveness in warding off tooth decay. The U.S. Center for Disease Control lists water fluoridation as one of the “ten greatest public health achievements of the 20th century.” Fluoride therapy is now frequently practiced by using various methods. Many different therapies exist, ranging from the fluoridated toothpastes used at home to topical fluorides and rinses applied by dentists. Some municipalities also apply publicly sponsored programs such as fluoridation of water or salts. At home therapies also exist and can be broken into prescription and over-the-counter strengths.
