About Children's Dentistry in Calgary
Royal Oak Smiles recommends a child's first dental visit by their first birthday or first tooth — whichever comes earlier. Early visits allow Dr. Khattra to monitor development, identify early signs of decay, and give parents practical guidance on brushing, diet, and fluoride.

The team at Royal Oak Smiles uses child-friendly language, a calm and welcoming environment, and a tell-show-do approach — explaining each step before doing it. First visits are intentionally brief and low-pressure, focused on building a positive relationship before any treatment begins.
Royal Oak Smiles recommends dental sealants when a child's first permanent molars erupt — typically around ages 6 to 7 — and again for second molars around ages 11 to 13. Sealants are applied in one short visit with no drilling and can reduce cavity risk on back teeth by up to 80%.
