Services We Offer For Children
We understand the importance of oral health starting at a young age, so we want to work with you to meet your child's dental needs.
Thumb Sucking Appliances
Thumb sucking in babies and young children is a normal self-soothing behaviour. Thumb sucking in very young children is typically not of concern as most children will outgrow this habit during the preschool years. It's best to get your child to stop sucking by age 5 before their permanent teeth come in. » Learn More

Calling All Three Year Olds
If your child is nervous about seeing the dentist, don't worry! At Downtown Dental of Hamilton we take every step to ensure everyone is comfortable coming to see us. Twice a year we host an event to make the dentist fun for your little one.
This fun event is filled with exciting activities including a magician, pizza and a fun tour of the office! One of our hygienists will even let them ride the chair, put on the sunglasses and teach them about their first appointment.
We look forward to seeing your little ones soon!
