First Dental Visit — CDCP Hamilton Children
Canadian Dental Association and CDCP both recommend the first dental visit at 12 months or when the first tooth appears. At Red Rose Dentistry this visit includes:
- Gentle exam with the child in the parent’s lap
- Fluoride varnish (30 seconds, completely painless)
- Discussion of tooth brushing, sippy cups, and feeding habits
- No tools, no fear — just a friendly first experience
Starting early with positive dental experiences prevents dental anxiety that follows children into adulthood.
CDCP Sealants — Cavity Prevention for Hamilton Children
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars) to prevent cavities. CDCP covers sealants once per tooth for children. The best time to apply sealants is when the permanent first molars erupt (around age 6) and the second molars (around age 12). A sealed molar virtually cannot get a cavity on its chewing surface.

Lip Tie and Tongue Tie — CDCP Covered for Hamilton Infants
Lip tie and tongue tie (ankyloglossia) affect breastfeeding in newborns and speech development in toddlers. Red Rose Dentistry performs frenectomy (a simple tongue or lip tie release) under CDCP. The procedure takes less than 5 minutes and results in immediate improvement for most infants. Ask about this at your 12-month first visit.
School Dental Screenings — Hamilton Ontario 2026
Some Hamilton schools screen children for dental issues — but the screening doesn’t replace a dental visit. If your child receives a school screening letter recommending follow-up, call Red Rose Dentistry immediately. CDCP means the follow-up appointment is free. Early intervention for cavities and alignment issues saves significantly in future treatment costs.
FAQ — Children’s CDCP Dental Care Hamilton 2026
Q: My child is 3 years old and has never seen a dentist. Is it too late?
A: No — book now. We see many children coming to us at 3, 4, or even older for their first visit. We always start gently with no judgment.
Q: My child is scared of the dentist. Can CDCP cover sedation for children?
A: Nitrous oxide is available for anxious children and may be partially covered. We also use tell-show-do and other non-medication anxiety techniques first.
Q: How do I know if my child’s teeth are developing correctly?
A: A comprehensive exam at age 7 includes an orthodontic screening (CDA recommendation). Dr. Khakani assesses bite development and flags any early intervention needs. CDCP covers the exam.
