Children aren't small adults, and their dental needs are unique. At Hi Five Kids Dental & Braces in Pickering, our team of board-certified pediatric dentists has completed two to three years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on treating infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special needs.
We've designed every aspect of our practice with kids in mind. From our welcoming environment to our gentle techniques and child-friendly explanations, we help your little one build a positive relationship with dental care that lasts a lifetime.
Prevention is the foundation of healthy smiles. Our preventive services include comprehensive dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and infant oral health exams. We teach children proper brushing and flossing techniques while monitoring their dental development at every visit.
First visit by age one to establish a dental home.
Regular checkups and professional cleanings.
Strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.
Protective coatings for cavity-prone molars.
When cavities or damage occur, we restore your child's teeth using the gentlest techniques available. Our restorative services include tooth-colored fillings, pediatric dental crowns, and pulp therapy to save damaged teeth and maintain proper spacing for permanent teeth.
Dental anxiety is common in children, and some procedures require extra comfort measures. We offer nitrous oxide for mild relaxation, conscious sedation for moderate anxiety, and sleep dentistry for extensive treatment or children who cannot tolerate traditional dental care.
Early orthodontic intervention can guide jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth. We provide early orthodontic evaluations, space maintainers to preserve gaps left by lost baby teeth, and traditional braces for comprehensive treatment.
Dental emergencies don't follow a schedule. Whether your child has a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or dental injury, our Pickering team is here to help with same-day emergency appointments when needed.
Families throughout Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Scarborough, and the Durham Region trust Hi Five Kids Dental & Braces for their children's dental care. No referral is necessary to schedule an appointment with our pediatric dental specialists.
