Families from Haysboro, Kingsland, Parkhill, and SW Calgary choose ABC Pediatric Dentistry for a gentle, positive first dental experience that builds lifelong healthy oral habits.

Regular preventive dental exams and professional cleanings at ABC Pediatric Dentistry in SW Calgary establish the foundation of every child's oral health. Dr. Sarah Hulland and her experienced team provide gentle, thorough examinations, safe plaque and tartar removal, polishing, and personalised oral hygiene instruction tailored to each child's age, developmental stage, and cooperation level.

Direct billing available for most Alberta insurance plans.

ABC Pediatric Dentistry provides professional fluoride varnish applications and dental sealants for Calgary children as proven preventive tools against childhood tooth decay. Fluoride treatments strengthen developing enamel and significantly reduce cavity risk, while pit-and-fissure sealants protect the deep grooves of back molars — the most decay-prone surfaces in a child's mouth. Dr. Hulland's hospital-dentistry background ensures every preventive procedure at the Centre 70 clinic is performed safely and gently, even for children with anxiety or special needs.

ABC Pediatric Dentistry responds to pediatric dental emergencies for SW Calgary children experiencing toothaches, dental trauma, knocked-out teeth, fractured teeth, or dental infections. Dr. Sarah Hulland is one of Alberta's foremost experts in paediatric dental trauma, having taught Management of Dental Trauma to University of Alberta dental students and participated in dental trauma research. Parents in Haysboro, Kingsland, Parkhill, and SW Calgary can call (403) 212-0809 for urgent guidance and emergency appointments. Hospital dentistry resources are available for complex cases requiring general anaesthesia.

ABC Pediatric Dentistry offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation to help anxious, sensitive, or younger children relax and cooperate comfortably during dental treatment. Nitrous oxide is the safest and most commonly used paediatric dental sedation — rapidly effective, easily reversible, and appropriate for most routine and restorative procedures. Dr. Sarah Hulland's extensive experience with sedation in children, including complex cases at Alberta Children's Hospital, ensures nitrous oxide is administered with the highest level of paediatric safety standards. Available for most procedures at our SW Calgary clinic.

For children who require deeper relaxation than nitrous oxide provides, ABC Pediatric Dentistry offers oral sedation — a safe, carefully dosed medication given before the appointment that produces a calm, drowsy state while the child remains conscious and responsive. Dr. Sarah Hulland's background in hospital paediatric dentistry and special needs care gives her the expertise to select and manage the appropriate sedation protocol for each child's age, weight, medical history, and procedure complexity. Oral sedation allows children with dental anxiety, developmental challenges, or behaviour management difficulties to receive the dental care they need.

ABC Pediatric Dentistry is one of a small number of Calgary dental practices offering general anaesthesia and hospital-based dentistry for children who cannot receive dental treatment in a standard clinic setting. Dr. Sarah Hulland spent nearly 20 years on staff at Alberta Children's Hospital and has extensive experience treating children with severely compromised medical conditions, severe behaviour management challenges, developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, and complex special needs under general anaesthesia. This capability ensures even the most vulnerable Calgary children receive the dental care essential to their overall health and quality of life.

ABC Pediatric Dentistry specialises in dental care for children with special needs, complex medical conditions, and developmental challenges across SW Calgary. Dr. Sarah Hulland is among Alberta's most experienced paediatric dentists in this area — having treated children with autism, developmental delays, severe behaviour management difficulties, and medically compromised conditions throughout her nearly two-decade career at Alberta Children's Hospital. The clinic's nature-themed office environment, gradual desensitisation approach, and full range of sedation options (nitrous oxide, oral sedation, general anaesthesia) ensure every special needs child can receive the dental care they deserve.

Protect your child's smile during sports with a custom-fitted sports mouthguard from ABC Pediatric Dentistry in SW Calgary. Custom mouthguards from Dr. Hulland's clinic offer a precise fit, superior shock absorption, and far better protection than store-bought boil-and-bite alternatives — significantly reducing the risk of dental trauma, chipped teeth, and soft tissue injuries during contact sports. Available for hockey, football, martial arts, rugby, and all contact activities. Dr. Hulland's expertise in dental trauma management makes mouthguard fitting a particularly important preventive service at our Centre 70 location.

ABC Pediatric Dentistry identifies and manages bruxism (teeth grinding) in Calgary children, a condition that can cause enamel wear, jaw pain, headaches, and disrupted sleep if left unaddressed. Dr. Sarah Hulland evaluates the pattern and severity of grinding, identifies contributing factors (anxiety, sleep issues, or malocclusion), and provides appropriate management strategies — from monitoring and parent guidance through to custom night guards and referral for related conditions where needed. Early bruxism intervention at our SW Calgary clinic protects children's developing dentition and overall oral health.
