A new year is the perfect time to prioritize your child’s dental health with a routine checkup at Glenmore Park Dental. Even if their teeth look fine, regular visits help catch small issues early and prevent bigger problems down the road. Our Calgary dental team offers gentle, thorough exams for kids of all ages, helping families in Glenbrook, Lakeview, Acadia, and beyond stay on track. If it’s been six months or more since your child’s last visit, contact Glenmore Park Dental to book their next appointment. Let’s start 2026 with healthy smiles and good habits that last all year.
Even when your child brushes and flosses daily, plaque can still build up in hard-to-reach areas. Over time, this plaque hardens into tartar, a rough, sticky deposit that brushing alone can’t remove. Left untreated, it can irritate the gums, lead to bad breath, and even contribute to early signs of gum disease. That’s why biannual dental checkups are more than just a formality; they’re essential preventive care.
At Glenmore Park Dental, our pediatric dental exams include a gentle cleaning to remove tartar, a detailed inspection of your child’s teeth and gums, and guidance on how to maintain good oral hygiene at home. We also screen for signs of misalignment, enamel wear, and other concerns that may affect their long-term dental health.
Let’s walk through what your child can expect during their visit:
Our hygiene team will gently remove plaque and tartar, especially in areas kids tend to miss during daily brushing. This not only freshens their breath but also prevents cavities from forming.
We examine all teeth for early signs of decay and inspect the gums for inflammation, bleeding, or recession, common signs of gingivitis, even in kids.
X-rays help us catch cavities between teeth or issues with developing adult teeth that can’t be seen in a visual exam. We use modern, low-radiation imaging for safe and effective diagnosis.
We check for alignment issues, early bite problems, and signs of teeth grinding. This is especially important in growing children, as early intervention can save time and cost later.
We walk your child (and you) through brushing and flossing techniques, discuss eating habits, and recommend products if needed (like toothpaste with fluoride or mouthguards).
The Canadian Dental Association recommends dental visits every six months, but if your child hasn’t been seen in over six months, has had tooth pain, or shows signs of sensitivity, book sooner. The new year is a great reset point for getting your family’s oral health back on track.
If your child is under seven, regular dental exams may be covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), depending on your family’s eligibility. At Glenmore Park Dental, we can help you understand your CDCP coverage and maximize your benefits.
We know kids can feel nervous about the dentist, especially if it’s been a while. Here’s how we help ease anxiety:
Establishing trust early helps children feel confident about going to the dentist, not just now, but for life.
Regular checkups do more than clean your child’s teeth, they build healthy habits, prevent future issues, and teach kids to value their oral health. If you live in Glenbrook, Lakeview, Acadia, or surrounding Calgary communities, contact Glenmore Park Dental today to schedule your child’s next exam. We’re here to help your family start the year strong, with smiles to match.
We recommend booking their first visit by age one or when their first tooth appears.
Every six months, or more often if advised by your dentist.
We’re experienced in working with anxious kids and use a calm, friendly approach to build trust.
