Yes, we warmly welcome new patients to our dental clinic! Whether you are new to Waterloo, looking for a different dental provider, have a dental emergency, or have been referred to us, we are excited to meet you and provide you with exceptional dental care. 

We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit within six months of their first tooth eruption or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Early dental visits are important for establishing good oral hygiene habits, monitoring tooth development, and detecting any potential dental issues. 

Dental floss plays a vital role in maintaining optimal oral health. Brushing alone cannot reach the tight spaces between teeth and along the gumline, where plaque and food particles can accumulate. Dental floss is designed to clean these hard-to-reach areas, preventing the buildup of plaque, bacteria, and debris that can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
