Quality, fear-free dental care evolves with children’s needs

Smiles are forever. And those stunning, healthy smiles are ideally made in early childhood. We Smile Dentistry abides by the Canadian Dental Association recommendations; the first visit to our office should take place within six months of the first tooth surfacing above the gumline or by no later than the child’s first birthday. Children’s dental care in London, Ontario, at the office of Dr. Giulio Spagnuolo, is convenient, stress-free, and comfortable. We have minimized or eliminated many of the features that inspire dread of the dentist’s visit among young and older patients alike. We take great care to create an atmosphere and experience that is gentle and friendly, and we use technologies like lasers to avoid the clinical sounds, smells, and sensations that can be upsetting for many patients. Knowing this, if it’s been a while since you or your child have seen the dentist, there is no time like the present to acquaint yourself with modern dentistry that is designed to put you and your family at ease.

Friendly care, at every life stage

Every child is different. But, generally, you’ll see the lower and upper front teeth erupt between the ages of 6 to 12 months. The last primary or baby teeth to form in the gums are generally the upper back teeth (second molars), between the ages of 25 to 33 months.  During this time, the initial visits to our office are focused on evaluating these baby teeth and the gums and other oral structures. It’s important for our team to detect and intervene with problems early before they have an adverse effect on your child’s oral and overall development.
