Children Dentistry

Children’s Dentistry at 16 Mile Dental Clinic

At 16 Mile Dental, we believe that every child deserves a healthy smile! Our dedicated team is proud to offer comprehensive pediatric dental care for children of all ages. We understand that instilling good oral hygiene habits early on is crucial for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

When Should My Child See the Dentist?

Your child’s dental journey should begin as soon as their first tooth appears, typically around their first birthday. While "baby" teeth may eventually fall out, they play a vital role in helping children speak clearly and chew food properly. Moreover, baby teeth pave the way for adult teeth to emerge correctly.

First Dental Examination

We LOVE our little patients! At 16 Mile Dental, we recognize that visiting the dentist can be intimidating for children. Our compassionate team goes above and beyond to make dental visits enjoyable and stress-free. From meeting our friendly “Mr. Thirsty” to taking a fun “chair ride,” we create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that helps your child feel comfortable.

During the first visit, we focus on:

• Gentle Examinations: Dr. Sama Salim and our experienced staff conduct thorough yet gentle examinations to assess your child’s oral health.
• Education and Prevention: We provide oral hygiene education tailored to your child’s age and development, empowering them with the knowledge they need to care for their teeth.
• Routine Check-ups and Cleanings: Regular check-ups are essential for monitoring dental growth and catching any potential issues early on.
• Custom Solutions: We offer a variety of services, including sportsguards, braces, and preventive treatments, ensuring that all of your child's dental needs are met.
