Friendly first appointments

At Peaks Family Dentistry Collingwood, we invite your child to experience a ‘friendly’ first appointment, getting comfortable with our environment. They’ll try out a ‘chair-ride’ and meet dental tools like “Mr. Slurpee, Mr. Whistle, and Mr. Bumpy.”

Our team provides children with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the clinic’s features, making visiting feel fun instead of frightening. There are even more small surprises we use to help reduce anxiety—but you’ll get to discover those in person!

Ultimately, we aim to make dental visits enjoyable for kids. ‘Friendly first appointments’ help establish a healthy and positive bond with the dentist from an early age – laying the foundation for lifelong oral health and bright smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Popular Questions about Peaks Family Dentistry

When should my child's first visit be scheduled?

Our team at Peaks Family Dentistry Collingwood recommends booking your child’s first appointment before their first birthday or within six months of their initial tooth eruption – whichever occurs first. This allows us to monitor oral development and address early concerns. It’s also a great chance to discuss brushing techniques and oral care with our team.

If your child is older than one and hasn’t been to the dentist yet, don’t worry – but do arrange an appointment soon. Early attention to oral health provides children with a strong foundation for healthy, happy smiles.

Does my dental insurance cover my child's dental care?

To include your child under your dental insurance plan, you may need to add them to your policy. For details, contact your insurance provider or your employer’s HR department. Since plans vary, it’s best to contact us directly for guidance on coverage options for your child. Regardless of your child’s insurance situation, we still recommend regular dental visits. The team at Peaks Family Dentistry Collingwood is happy to help you schedule an appointment time that suits your family.

If baby teeth eventually fall out, why care for them now?
We continually emphasize that primary (baby) teeth are vital to children’s overall oral health—not just placeholders. Neglecting them can lead to serious consequences.

Benefits of preserving baby teeth:

1. Supports jaw growth Baby teeth guide jawbone development and create room for adult teeth.

2. Supports proper chewing Healthy baby teeth enable chewing and digestion; missing ones can cause misalignment.

3. Helps with speech development Primary teeth play a crucial role in learning to speak clearly; early damage can significantly impact pronunciation.

4. Act as placeholders for adult teeth They help guide the emergence of permanent teeth; decay or loss can disrupt this process.

5. Prevents early tooth decay issues Catching cavities early guards against infections that threaten permanent teeth.

6. Instills lifelong oral habits Teaching good brushing and flossing early fosters lifelong dental hygiene.

Because baby teeth are so important, we’re here to answer your questions and suggest suitable toothpaste, toothbrushes, and daily routines when you bring your child in for a visit.

Seeking children’s dental care in Collingwood?
Choosing a dental provider for your child is key. While pediatric dentists are ideal for addressing complex needs, most family dentists can effectively care for children, and there are currently no pediatric-specific clinics in Collingwood. Providers offering services for all ages—from toddlers to seniors—help build a trusted relationship over time.

At Peaks Family Dentistry Collingwood, we offer comprehensive family and children’s dental treatment. We’d be glad to welcome your family, introduce you to our team, and show you around. We’re now accepting new patients of all ages!
