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
