A child’s dental experiences shape how they feel about dental care for life. That’s why at Aurora Sky Dental, located in the Aurora Shopping Centre near Costco, we’ve built a warm and welcoming environment designed to make kids feel safe, understood, and excited about taking care of their teeth. From their first tooth to their teenage years, our clinic provides compassionate children’s dentistry that supports healthy development and builds lifelong confidence in dental visits.

Families visit us from across Regina, including the east-end communities of Aurora, The Greens, The Creeks, Wascana View, Windsor Park, Wood Meadows, Varsity Park, Gardiner Heights, Parkridge, Creekside, Eastgate, Eastpointe Estates, Richmond Place, Riverbend, Spruce Meadows, University Park, and Glencairn. Many also travel from nearby Saskatchewan communities such as White City, Emerald Park, Pilot Butte, Balgonie, Indian Head, Fort Qu’Appelle, Kronau, Montmartre, Weyburn, and Moosomin for trusted, child-friendly care.

Our goal is simple: help every child feel comfortable, cared for, and supported as they grow a healthy smile.

A Children’s Dental Clinic That Feels Friendly, Not Scary

We know that a child’s early dental appointments influence their future feelings about dental care. That’s why we designed our dental clinic to support young patients with:

  • Kind and patient communication
  • Gentle explanations suited for a young age
  • A calm environment that reduces fear
  • A dental team that celebrates bravery and effort
  • A strong emphasis on prevention and education

Dr. Ravi Patel and the entire team make visits fun, relaxed, and encouraging. Whether we’re seeing a toddler for their first dental visit, guiding a school-age child through a cavity filling, or helping a teen prepare for orthodontic treatment, our focus remains the same: a positive experience that builds lifelong trust.

When Should a Child First See a Dentist?

We recommend that children visit a Regina dentist by age one or within six months of their first tooth poking through. These early visits let us:

  • Check the child’s teeth and gums
  • Monitor growth of the child’s mouth
  • Detect early signs of tooth decay
  • Offer tips for brushing and flossing
  • Provide parents with home care guidance

Starting early also helps a child become comfortable in the dental environment during a very young age, reducing anxiety later.

Helping Children of All Ages Build Good Oral Hygiene Habits

Strong habits start at home, and we partner closely with parents and caregivers to make oral care approachable, simple, and even fun. During each visit, we teach proper brushing and flossing techniques, offer creative ways to build daily routines, like using games or timers, and provide advice for navigating picky brushing phases. We also help families choose child-friendly toothpaste and encourage positive behaviour and independence as kids learn to care for their own teeth.

Our goal goes far beyond treating dental issues; it’s about building lifelong oral hygiene habits that support overall health and well-being.

Why Children’s Dentistry Matters

Children grow fast, and so do their teeth. Professional children’s dental care helps ensure:

  • Healthy jaw and bite development
  • Prevention of cavities and tooth decay
  • Early identification of dental problems
  • Proper eruption of permanent teeth
  • Confidence in their smile

Good oral health during childhood sets the foundation for strong, healthy adult teeth. And with regular checkups, children learn to trust and feel comfortable with their dentist, something that pays off for years to come.

The Children’s Dental Services We Offer in Regina

Aurora Sky Dental provides a full range of dental services designed specifically for kids of all ages.

Regular Checkups & Preventive Care

Preventive dentistry is the heart of pediatric dentistry. Routine checkups, dental checkups, and regular checkups allow us to monitor a child’s oral health, detect early issues, and ensure a solid baseline for healthy development.

Preventive care may include:

  • Cleanings
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Digital x-rays when needed
  • Dental sealants for cavity-prone areas
  • Guidance on nutrition and reducing sugar exposure
  • Bite and growth monitoring

These visits empower families with tools and knowledge to maintain good oral hygiene at home.

Fluoride and Dental Sealants for Stronger Teeth

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens enamel and prevents tooth decay. Our safe, child-friendly fluoride treatments help reinforce your child’s teeth during important growth stages.

Dental sealants provide even more protection by coating the grooves of molars where cavities often form. Sealants are painless, fast, and extremely effective, a great option for preventing future fillings.

Fillings for Kids

Even with great brushing habits, some children still develop cavities. When this happens, our children’s dentist uses gentle techniques and comforting communication to make the process easy.

We repair teeth using safe, durable fillings to restore function and protect against future decay. For children who may feel nervous, we focus on reassurance, distraction, and support to create a smooth and positive experience.

Extractions When Needed

Sometimes a tooth needs to be removed due to severe decay, injury, or crowding. When this happens, we perform gentle extractions in a calm, supportive environment that helps young patients feel safe and secure from start to finish. For children who feel especially anxious, have strong gag reflexes, or require more involved procedures, we also offer sedation options to make the experience as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

We always explore conservative treatment options first and recommend extraction only when it truly supports long-term child’s dental care and healthy development.

Orthodontic Monitoring

Your child’s bite, facial growth, and tooth spacing are important parts of children’s dentistry. Dr. Patel monitors these changes closely during routine visits and may recommend early orthodontic evaluation if necessary.

Early orthodontic insight helps prevent crowding, misalignment, or bite issues down the road.

A Children’s Dentist Parents Can Trust

Choosing a children’s dental clinic is a big decision. Parents want a team that’s gentle, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. At Aurora Sky Dental in Regina, we treat every child with compassion and respect while keeping parents fully informed along the way. We understand your concerns, as we have children too.

We support kids of all ages, including toddlers, school-age children, pre-teens, and teenagers. No matter where a child is in their development, our focus is on creating a beautiful smile, strong habits, and positive memories that support lifelong comfort with dental visits.

A Warm Approach to Dental Anxiety

It’s normal for children to feel nervous before dental visits, especially if they’re still young or have had difficult experiences elsewhere. Our team specializes in helping children relax through:

  • Calm explanation
  • Showing tools in a non-threatening way
  • Simple, encouraging language
  • Focusing on comfort and reassurance
  • Giving children choices when possible

A gentle approach helps create a positive experience that makes future visits easier and less stressful.

First Dental Visit: What to Expect

Your child’s first dental visit sets the tone for all future visits. We make this appointment relaxed, fun, and educational.

A typical first appointment includes:

  • A gentle introduction to the office
  • Meeting the dental team
  • A review of your child’s health and habits
  • A simple exam of the child’s teeth, gums, and bite
  • Checking for early dental problems
  • Age-appropriate brushing tips
  • A chance for parents to ask questions

We move slowly, celebrate small victories, and make sure kids leave feeling proud and confident.
