At 17th Avenue Dental Center of Calgary, Alberta, we pride ourselves on a family-focused approach, treating our youngest visitors with the care they need. Our team is passionately committed to looking after children’s oral health, covering everything from teeth to gums.

Why should children see a dentist experienced in kids’ dental care?
Children have unique dental needs that require specialized care. It is essential for them to see a dentist who is experienced in working with children, especially as they grow and develop. A pediatric dentist understands the challenges and concerns of treating young patients and can provide personalized care to meet their individual needs.
Early dental visits also help establish good oral hygiene habits from a young age. Regular check-ups can prevent common issues such as cavities and tooth decay, which leads to more serious problems if left untreated. By starting dental visits early, children become familiar with routine cleanings and exams, making it easier for them to maintain optimal oral health as they grow older.
What pediatric services are available at 17th Avenue Dental Center?
Baby’s first dental check-up. Comprehensive examination of your infant’s oral health, including risk assessment for potential tooth decay.
Family education. We’ll provide insightful guidance on nutrition and habits to maintain your child’s dental health, covering topics such as thumb sucking, pacifier use, and preventing baby bottle tooth decay.
Protective measures. Our preventative care includes thorough teeth cleaning, fluoride applications, and dental sealants to combat cavities.
Restorative care. Despite our best preventive measures, tooth decay might occur. Regular dental visits enable us to spot and treat cavities early on, using tooth-coloured fillings to repair the damage.
Bite evaluation. As your child matures, we monitor the growth of their teeth, jaw, and bite orientation. Our attentive watch allows for early orthodontic action that can correct a misaligned bite before it causes pain or self-consciousness.
Management of pediatric gum disease. Children can suffer from gum disease as well! We employ soft treatment methods to manage and control it effectively.
Urgent dental care. Dental emergencies, like fractured or dislodged teeth, often occur in children while they are participating in activities or sports. We offer same-day service during normal business hours and are available for emergencies and after-hour phone consultations.
Oral condition analysis. Diseases like diabetes, allergies, asthma, and even congenital heart disease frequently show symptoms in the mouth.
