Why Children’s Dentistry Is So Important

Children’s dentistry focuses on prevention, early detection, and education—helping kids avoid dental problems as they grow. Early positive experiences also reduce fear and anxiety, making future visits easier.

Benefits of pediatric dental care include:

As a trusted family dentist in Edmonton, we partner with parents to protect every child’s smile.

Our Children’s Dentistry Services

Children’s Dental Exams & Cleanings

Routine checkups allow us to monitor growth, catch cavities early, and keep teeth clean with gentle, age-appropriate techniques.

Dental Sealants for Kids

Sealants protect vulnerable molars from decay by sealing deep grooves where food and bacteria collect.

Fluoride Treatments for Children

Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities—especially important for developing teeth.

Children’s Dental Fillings

When cavities occur, we use tooth-colored fillings that are durable, safe, and natural-looking.

Baby Tooth Extractions

If a baby tooth becomes infected or blocks proper eruption, we perform gentle extractions focused on comfort and reassurance.

Space Maintainers

When baby teeth are lost too early, space maintainers help guide permanent teeth into proper position.

Early Orthodontic Assessment

We evaluate jaw growth, bite alignment, and spacing to identify potential orthodontic concerns early.

Interceptive Orthodontics

Early intervention can reduce or prevent the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later.

Oral Health Education for Children

We teach kids (and parents!) proper brushing, flossing, nutrition habits, and cavity prevention in fun, age-appropriate ways.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came with chipped tooth. Dr. Laatsch recommended to fix cavity in another alive tooth first. Within initially planned time the doctor and his assistant Yulia fixed both. I got great value for the money I paid. A couple weeks have passed, no complains. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m sure everyone has concerns and even fear about going to the dentist.  Well let me help you overcome that fear.  I see Dr Wehbe at the Strathcona Dental office, and I have never experienced a more warm and stress free practice as you would experience here.  From Dr Wehbe to the office staff and hygiene department, everyone makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.  Professional is the word that comes to my mind when discussing this dental office.  Please take the time to see this office and agree with me that this is an awesome office, when you are experiencing something you are concerned about.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Strathcona Dental after being very disappointed with my last dentist, and I’m so glad I did.

The staff is extremely professional and welcoming. A big thank you to Claire(Receptionist) for the warm welcome and her clear understanding of my situation.

Tatyana (Dental Hygienist) did a fantastic job on my teeth, I could really tell the difference.

Dr. Abdul Wehbe and his assistant Jenny (Dental Assistant) were outstanding. They were very professional, made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire appointments. You can tell Dr. Wehbe genuinely loves what he does because his work was excellent.

It was the first time I actually felt excited to go to the dentist! Strathcona Dental isn’t just a dental office it’s a great experience.

Thank you to the whole team! I’ll definitely be back.
