Understanding Children’s Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry, also known as children’s dentistry, is the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Edgemont Dental in Edmonton, we focus on providing expert dental care tailored to children from infancy to adolescence. This specialized care includes monitoring dental development, preventing decay, and treating issues early with gentle techniques. Without consistent dental visits, children are at risk for complications such as cavities, gum disease, and misaligned teeth that can affect them well into adulthood.

Sealants and Fluoride
The back teeth are particularly susceptible to decay. Dental sealants provide a way to protect these teeth and reduce the chances of tooth decay. Our dentist uses a thick resin material that coats the surface and back of the tooth (corners and crevices are potentially very difficult areas for a toothbrush). Ultimately, this “sealant” can restore years of maximum dental protection from cavities and reduce the need for dental fillings later on. Dental sealants have proven to be very beneficial for many patients, especially children.
Fillings and Dental Cavities
One of the most common oral health problems is a dental cavity, and children’s teeth are especially vulnerable due to their thinner enamel. Small cavities in children can typically be treated with a dental filling, where the affected area is removed, cleaned, and filled to restore proper form and function. However, once cavities become large, more extensive treatment is required to protect the teeth. That’s why it’s important to schedule routine checkups to catch issues early when they are easier to fix. To book your child’s cleaning and exam, contact our office today.
Space Maintainers
A space maintainer is custom-made by a dentist using acrylic or metal material. It can be removed or cemented into the child’s mouth. The purpose of this is to free up space for the permanent tooth to erupt and come into place.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Canadian Dental Association recommends children visit a dentist within six months of their first tooth, or by their first birthday. Early visits help prevent issues before they start.
Yes, sealants are safe and highly effective. They protect the grooves in back teeth from decay, which are difficult for children to clean thoroughly with brushing alone.
Talk about the visit positively. Read books or watch videos about visiting the dentist. At Edgemont Dental, we also offer meet-and-greets to help children get familiar before any treatment begins.
Small cavities are easily treated with gentle fillings. The sooner we detect a cavity, the simpler and less invasive the treatment will be. Regular checkups are the best way to stay ahead of tooth decay.
If your child loses a baby tooth early, a space maintainer may be recommended to hold space for the permanent tooth. This prevents misalignment and crowding as adult teeth come in.
