A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation

Healthy smiles play a vital role in your child’s development from early childhood through their teenage years and beyond. But we understand how hectic family life can be, with work, school, and everything in between—it can feel overwhelming at times.

We aim to make your family’s dental visits as smooth and stress-free as possible, offering flexible hours and grouped appointments to fit your schedule.

As your child grows, they’ll reach many dental milestones, from their first check-up to losing baby teeth, getting adult teeth, and eventually coming to the dentist on their own to maintain their oral health. Dr. Rupa Bhatt and our team are excited to be a part of each step in their journey to a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Our Children’s Dentistry services

Child’s First Appointment

A child’s first trip to the dentist sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles and strong oral hygiene habits.

Fluoride Treatment

Strengthen enamel with fluoride and shield molars from cavities with dental sealants for long-lasting protection and healthier teeth.

Pediatric Treatment & Education

We provide comprehensive dental care for children, from infancy through their teenage years, tailored to meet the needs of both kids and their parents or guardians.

Teeth Cleaning for Kids

Regular teeth cleaning for kids is essential for monitoring their oral health as they grow. Routine check-ups not only track their dental development but also help prevent cavities and other future issues, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your child’s first teeth usually come in around 6 months. It’s recommended that they visit the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth. If you notice any signs of discomfort or suspect something might be wrong, book an appointment right away. It’s never too late for their first dental check-up.

Baby teeth are crucial, even though they eventually fall out. They hold space for permanent teeth and help shape your child’s face, smile, and self-confidence. Good oral health in early years prevents pain that could impact their eating habits and overall development. Ignoring dental issues like mild pain can have lasting effects on how your child chews, what foods they eat, and their overall health.

The length of the appointment depends on your child’s needs and how comfortable they are during the visit. On average, an appointment lasts about one hour.

Your child, just like you, should see the dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning unless otherwise recommended. If your child is experiencing any pain, avoiding certain foods, or showing signs of discomfort, schedule an appointment sooner.

Cavities are small holes in teeth that grow over time, often without causing immediate pain. They’re caused by bacteria, dental plaque, and worsened by sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Cavities, even in baby teeth, need to be treated early to prevent more serious issues or infection.

Your oral health isn’t just about your teeth—it involves your entire mouth, including gums, tongue, and jaw. Sore, swollen, or bleeding gums can be early signs of more serious problems. Keeping your gums healthy is essential for maintaining your overall oral health.

We understand how busy family life can be! We’re happy to schedule multiple appointments for the whole family, side-by-side. Just give us a call, and we’ll make it work for you.

I recently had a very pleasant experience at Oakville Smiles Dentistry. My son needed a tooth extraction due to an infection, and the procedure went very smoothly, thanks to the Dr. Rupa Bhatt who handled it with utmost care. Additionally, I have been visiting the clinic for regular check-up and cleaning, and had a very friendly experience with the entire staff. Hajira, the coordinator, was amazing in managing the timings, making the entire process convenient and stress-free. I highly recommend Oakville Smiles Dentistry for both routine and urgent dental needs.This has to be the nicest team of professionals working as an excellent team.

Today was my first check up with a dentist in 2+ years. Being self employed I don’t have benefits therefore thankfully qualified for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). I started my session with the dental hygienist Mrs. Pina she was amazing, very polite and did a fantastic cleaning. My teeth feel squeaky clean. I then was greeted my Miss Amira who is the dental assistant and she took all my X-Rays and was very kind and explained everything she was doing and what the dentist would go over with me. Then I was introduced to my dentist Dr. Rupa who has to be the nicest dentist you will ever meet! She did the assessment of my teeth, gums, lymph nodes and tongue. Afterwards we went through my imaging together and she created a care plan for me which was booked out by Miss Hajira who I contacted over phone to book my initial assessment. She was amazing as well! I reached out on a Tuesday and was able to get an appointment the following Monday. Thank you so much again to the entire Oakville Smile Group, you are truly the standard every dental office should strive for! Ps I will be sending over my entire family to your practice.

I had my first visit today, and it was exceptional right from the start. I was immediately greeted by the staff, was such a warm and welcoming first impression. It’s been quite some time since I’ve been to the dentist, and it is one of my least favourite experiences. Dr. Rupa Bhatt and her team made every part of the experience very comfortable. They explained each step, was very knowledgeable and eased my anxieties throughout the appointment. My teeth feel better than ever after my check up and cleaning. I already have my next appointment booked. Highly recommended Dental practice!

Dr. Bhatt is the best dentist I've ever been to. She took so much care to clean and inspect my teeth. She explained everything in detail and has all the great new tech. She is gentle and thorough and really cares about her patients health. I'm so glad I went to Oakville smiles! I generally have not liked the dentist, but this was a great experience. Highly recommend for top tier care.
