Kids Dentist in Port Colborne, Family-Friendly Care
Gentle, fun, judgement-free dental visits for kids of all ages, from first tooth to teen years.
What is Kids Dentistry?
We love treating kids. A great first dental visit sets the tone for a lifetime of healthy teeth, and we work hard to make sure your child leaves smiling. We go slow, explain everything in kid-friendly language, and never rush.
Dr. Gaurav is a family dentist (not a pediatric specialist) who treats kids alongside their parents. For most children, including babies, toddlers, school-age kids and teens, a family dentist is exactly the right fit. For complex cases that need a pediatric specialist, we'll happily refer you.
Good news for families: the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) now covers all eligible children under 18, including cleanings, X-rays, fillings, sealants and fluoride. We direct-bill Sun Life so you don't have to.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Show & tell
On a first visit we let your child explore the chair, see the tools, and meet us before any treatment.
Gentle exam & cleaning
A quick, thorough check of teeth, bite and gums. Cleaning if your child is comfortable.
Plan & celebrate
We talk to you both about anything we found, then your child picks a sticker or small prize on the way out.
