Yes, please arrive 10-15 minutes before your appointment to fill out any remaining patient paperwork.

It is essential to maintain a regular schedule to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy and strong. Without these regular dental cleanings, stains, bacteria, and plaque will accumulate and increase your chances of developing gum disease or lead to eventual tooth loss.

Yes, it can. Sleep is a vital aspect of your overall health, and poor dental health can affect your sleep quality.

Generally, most parents bring their children in starting at the age of three. However, if you’ve noticed dark spots appearing on your toddler’s teeth, our kid-friendly dentists will gladly pencil you in for a primary examination to ensure your child’s oral health.

Yes! If you or your child have been involved in an accident resulting in dental-related trauma, we strongly advise that you call us as soon as possible so we can begin examining and treating your dental injury. We provide emergency services for knocked-out, broken, dislodged teeth, and more.

Children are at risk for tooth decay as soon as the first tooth emerges. Letting your child drink pop, juice, baby formula, or sweetened water from a baby bottle or sippy cup puts them at a higher risk for early childhood cavities. Too much fluoride ingestion may lead to fluorosis, while too little may make teeth more susceptible to decay.

Yes! Temporary (or baby) teeth are also prone to erosion and cavities and could also damage the permanent teeth below. Proper care should be done as any damage could potentially affect your child’s smile, chewing, and speaking.

Brush your toddler's teeth twice per day with a remineralizing toothpaste such as MIPaste (Minimally Invasive Paste), which we sell at Summerside Dental. It is made from a cow’s milk protein called 'casein', which strengthens the teeth as it bathes them with calcium and phosphate.

Most families have found that shortly after their child’s third birthday, the child is able to sit in a dentist's chair and have their teeth checked and cleaned. If you notice dark spots on your toddler's teeth you may schedule a primary exam or 'first dental visit before age three' appointment.

If you are unsure that your child’s teeth are coming in correctly, our team at Summerside Dental can help assess the alignment of your child’s teeth and bite. Problems such as crowding, spacing, mouth breathing, crossbites, deep bites, or open bites should be assessed by a professional at an early age.

Summerside Dental has been an established and reliable dental facility in Edmonton since 2007. We offer our patients outstanding care through personalized dental solutions. Whatever your priorities are, we will make sure to incorporate them into your dental plan so you can achieve your best smile and upgrade your confidence!

Veneers are slim coverings placed over the surface of the tooth, perfect for covering up small imperfections like stains, chips, and gaps. Crowns are hollow caps shaped to cover your tooth, used to restore a damaged tooth. Small parts of the enamel will need to be removed before bonding and placing the new crown.

Some of the most common include gold crowns, all-porcelain crowns, resin crowns, porcelain fused to metal crowns, and zirconia crowns. The right kind of crown will depend on the condition of your tooth and the available treatments.

The lifespan of your veneers can vary, but the better you care for your oral health, the longer the veneers will last! On average, they last between 10 and 15 years. The best way to ensure your veneers stay vibrant and healthy is by maintaining your oral health and hygiene.
