As parents, the health and wellbeing of our children is vitally important to us. We try to ensure that they eat nutritious, well-balanced, and healthy meals while helping them to build confidence, self-esteem, and emotional wellness as they grow into adulthood.

At our advanced dental practice of Living Wellness Dental, we love serving generations of families from Calgary, Airdrie, Canmore, Red Deer, and surrounding communities, particularly our littlest patients! We understand that children learn best and establish healthy lifelong habits when they are positively engaged in a comfortable, familiar, and enjoyable environment. By encouraging a parent-patient to schedule his or her child’s first visit to us by as early as one year of age, we are reducing the risk that a child will develop dental anxiety in the future. We also have the opportunity, through many teachable moments, to ensure that oral health and hygiene will become a pleasant and important aspect of the child’s life throughout the future.

By introducing a child to gentle dentistry at an early age, we are also better equipped to monitor the appropriate physical development of the teeth, mouth, and jaws and detect any problems or variations before they become problems.

Metal-free and mercury-free care for optimal lifelong health

 Just as you closely monitor your child’s diet and typically avoid unhealthy foods, we also evaluate all of the dental materials and treatments that we use. As biological and holistic Doctors of Dental Surgery (DDS), Drs. DeSanti and James Redd believe in using only biocompatible materials, such as porcelain or composite resin,. In addition to reducing the risk of future adverse reactions, these tooth-colored fillings are also more aesthetically-pleasing, blending in with the natural tooth and boosting a child’s self-esteem.

Our team at Living Wellness Dental understands that your child’s happy and healthy smile can light up your life. Call us today at (587) 600-6935.
