If you are looking for information about children’s dental care in Calgary, there are a few key things to know when choosing the right clinic for your family. At Rundlehorn Smiles Dental, we offer a dedicated children’s care program focused on prevention, early visits, and building healthy dental habits for life.

What Does Our Children’s Dental Care Program Include?

Our children’s dental services include routine checkups and cleanings, dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic evaluations. We focus on prevention from first checkups to sealants and fluoride, always using a calm and gentle approach geared to first visits.

Comfort and Communication for Kids and Parents

Parents are welcome in the room during their child's dental appointments, and we explain everything in simple language so children feel at ease. Regular exams, gentle cleanings and education are provided for both children and parents, which helps set kids up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Convenient Care for Calgary Families

We care for children of all ages and offer appointments seven days a week, including evening and weekend hours, to fit your family’s schedule. Our clinic provides care for parents and siblings at the same location, making visits convenient for the entire family. We accept new patients every day and hold time for urgent cases, with convenient hours seven days a week and free on-site parking.

Prevention is Key: Sealants, Fluoride, and Healthy Habits

Oral health for children includes preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride, both of which help protect teeth from cavities and decay especially as children grow. Professional fluoride treatments are safe and effective when provided by our dental team, and we assess for the right level of protection for your child. We teach children and parents simple routines that last, encouraging brushing, flossing, and eating habits that support healthy smiles for life.

Treating Cavities with a Gentle Approach

Cavities are a common childhood health problem, and we provide gentle treatment with tooth-coloured fillings to restore your child’s tooth and avoid more extensive procedures when treated early.

Signs Your Child May Need a Dental Visit

Look out for signs such as a dark spot, hole or white patch on a tooth, tooth pain, sensitivity, bleeding or swollen gums, early tooth loss, or crowded or misaligned teeth. We recommend booking a checkup or cleaning every six months for preventive care.

Understanding Costs and Insurance for Children’s Care

We are a participating provider for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and we direct bill most major insurers. After your child's exam, we provide a written, itemised estimate before any treatment begins so you know what to expect. We offer flexible payment options for larger treatments.
