East Abbotsford Dental strongly believes that children should begin their oral health journey from a young age. This helps children prepare for a lifetime of good oral care and hygiene. We follow the Canadian Dental Association’s recommendation that children have an assessment by a dentist within 6 months of the eruption of their first tooth, or by one year of age, whichever comes first. East Abbotsford Dental is here to help introduce children to what happens during a dental visit and allow them to become comfortable with the entire dental office experience. For our youngest patients, we do this through our Smiley Visits, which are catered to our youngest patients.

Children's Dentist Abbotsford: Common Questions from Parents

When should my child first see a dentist?

Within six months of their first tooth appearing, or by age one, whichever comes first. This follows Canadian Dental Association guidance. If your child is past that and hasn’t been in yet, it’s never too late to start.

What is a Smiley Visit, and is it really free?

Yes, Smiley Visits are complimentary for children under 4. It’s a short, friendly introduction to the office so your child can get familiar with everything before any check-up takes place.

My child is nervous about the dentist. How do you help?

We go slowly and explain everything in kid-friendly terms, so nothing comes as a surprise. Many of our team are parents themselves. Nervousness is very normal, and we’ve seen plenty of anxious first-timers become confident regulars.

How often should children have a check-up?

Most children benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, though your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your child’s needs.

Do you direct bill insurance for children's visits?

We do. We offer direct insurance billing and follow the BC Dental Fee Guide, so costs stay clear and predictable. Ask our team about your coverage when you book.

Can the whole family book together?

Absolutely. We care for patients of all ages, so parents and children can be seen at the same practice, often on the same trip.
