Children's Dentistry in Stony Plain

At North Stony Dental, we follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide. You can view our detailed fee structure on our website or at our office. 

We recommend that children visit the dentist at least twice a year for regular check-ups. These visits are important to keep their teeth healthy and to catch any dental issues early.

The Canadian Dental Association advises that children should have their first dental visit with a dentist within six months of the appearance of their first tooth or by their first birthday. Early visits help our kids dentists spot and manage any potential oral health issues.

Yes, Dental X-rays are safe for you and your children. We use modern, low-radiation X-rays to minimize exposure and protective lead aprons to shield your child. X-rays help us diagnose hidden problems that aren’t visible during a regular exam.

If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe pain, contact us immediately. We offer advice over the phone and will arrange an urgent appointment if necessary.

Familiarizing your child with the dental environment through ‘happy visits’ where they meet the dentist without receiving treatment can help. Reading books about dentistry, explaining what will happen in simple terms, and using positive reinforcement also make dental visits easier. Additionally for those kids who need it, also offer Nitrous Gas to help alleviate any anxiety in our office. 

Primary teeth usually begin to grow, or a child begins “teething” around six months of age. This may delay up to 12 months or more in some children. Usually, the central incisors or the two front teeth on the lower jaw are the first to grow. Then the lateral incisors grow on both upper and lower jaws. Lower molars start growing next, followed by the canine teeth. The entire set of primary teeth should grow in around 25-33 months, this can vary according to each child’s, genetics, growth, and nutrition levels.
