Five Reasons to Work with a Family Clinic to Address Pediatric Dental Needs
Our dentists are committed to providing quality, comprehensive dental care for children at Surrey Place Dental Group in the Central City of Surrey, British Columbia. We understand that taking your child to the dentist seems daunting, so we strive to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for you and your child. Parents regularly seek a trusted professional to help with their child’s pediatric dental needs. Below are five reasons why working with a kids’ practice for pediatric dental needs can benefit your child’s oral health:
1. Specialized training in pediatric dentistry:
Our team has had extensive experience working with children after completing their general dentistry degrees, from pediatric tooth decay to periodontal disease in kids. This additional training allows them to better understand children’s unique needs and how to effectively treat common childhood dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. By working with a family dental practice, you can have peace of mind knowing that your child is receiving care from professionals who have the knowledge and experience to provide the best treatment for their specific needs.
2. Age-appropriate techniques and tools:
Our office is equipped with age-appropriate dental instruments and technology to make your child’s visit as comfortable as possible. We understand that children have different needs when it comes to dental procedures, so we use specialized techniques to help alleviate any fears or discomfort they may have. From smaller equipment to gentle numbing methods, our Surrey Place Dental Group team knows how to make your child’s visit a positive one.
3. Child-friendly environment:
Our kids’ clinic has created a fun and welcoming atmosphere for children of all ages. From our Toy Tower reward station to kid-friendly shows on the screens in all rooms, we want your child to feel comfortable and at ease during their visit. Our team is even trained in balloon animal making, and we have a dentist who is a juggling specialist! All of our dentists also take the time to explain procedures reliably and easily so that children can understand them, helping them feel more involved in their oral health care.

4. Early detection of dental issues:
Working with a family dental practice ensures that your child’s dental health is closely monitored from an early age. This allows our team to detect potential problems before they become more serious and require extensive treatment. Regular check-ups and dental cleanings are crucial for maintaining good oral health and can prevent future dental issues.
5. Establishing good oral hygiene habits:
Our team believes that developing good oral hygiene habits at a very young age is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout life. By working with a kids clinic, your child can receive proper education on caring for their teeth and gums, including brushing and flossing techniques. We also offer tips and tricks to make oral hygiene fun for children, helping them maintain good habits as they grow.
