Nurture Growing Smiles with Children’s Dentistry at Mackenzie Dental Centre

Dental care is important to get started on early in a child’s life. Many medical professionals recommend that the first visit to a dental clinic for children be scheduled as early as 6 months old, and no later than 1 year old. If your child is fussy, nervous, or scared, you can count on the experienced professionals at Mackenzie Dental Centre to make both parent and child feel comfortable, safe, and assured. 

We will help you protect your child's smile.

Exams and Cleanings:

Routine dental exams are crucial for maintaining oral health in children of all ages. Check-ups at the dentist allow us to identify any potential issues early on, such as cavities, misalignments, or gum disease. At Mackenzie Dental Centre, our team provides thorough dental exams to ensure your child's teeth and gums remain healthy.

Healthy Gums:

Signs of gingivitis can appear early, by visiting the dentist regularly, we can assess the risk of gum disease and instill healthy habits that mitigate the effects of early gum disease for healthier gums. If you notice tender gums when brushing, swelling, discomfort, or plaque buildup, book a dental exam for kids at Mackenzie Dental Centre. Our dentists in Woodbridge can help you monitor and manage the risk of gum disease. 

Tooth Development:

The growth and development of the teeth are vital to the development of essential skills and functions. Having a dentist for kids keep an eye on how teeth are coming in, especially as your children go from baby teeth to primary or “adult” teeth is important to supporting speech development, chewing, and the facial structure. Using safe, advanced, and appropriate imaging and exam techniques our dentists in Woodbridge will help assess the development of your child’s teeth and dental structures. 

Children's Cavities:

Tooth decay, carries, or cavities are common in children who are still building strong dental habits or who aren’t able to effectively clean their teeth. Sugary-diets and candy can facilitate the development of cavities, which needs the attention of a skilled children’s dentist in Woodbridge. Regular dental visits help identify early signs of tooth decay and provide treatments to prevent cavities. As an equipped dental clinic for children in Woodbridge, Mackenzie Dental Centre offers fluoride treatments, sealants, and dietary advice to minimize the risk of cavities.

Oral Care & Education:

Instilling good dental habits in children is crucial for their long-term oral health. During visits to Mackenzie Dental Centre, children learn from our experienced hygienists and dentists  proper brushing, flossing techniques and more. They also emphasize the importance of a balanced diet and the role it plays in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. By educating children on good oral hygiene practices, we help them develop habits that will last a lifetime.

Children’s Dental Emergencies:

Because children have younger dental structures that are still developing they can be more prone to accidents involving their gums and teeth. When the developing anatomy and naturally rough play of children are combined, there are more instances where a tooth can end up knocked out, chipped, or broken. If your child is bleeding or in severe pain contact our emergency dentists in Vaughan.

Thoroughly impressed from top to bottom. Beautiful facility, state of the art equipment, phenomenal dentist Dr. Lloyd Pedvis is indeed!! Beyond knowledgeable and best of all is his calming influence. He has such a down to earth approach, I just find it reassuring and just don't have the anxiety that I've had with past dental work. Just moved in Vaughan and thrilled with our families new dentist and dental clinic!

Josh Katz

Dr. Pedvis and his staff are absolutely wonderful! My family and I are so happy that we have found him. He is absolutely amazing with young children. Both my kids needed work done and he was very gentle and patient. Both of them left his office happy and with great smiles! We are very happy we switched to Dr. Pedvis in Woodbridge.

Holly D.

Our Family has gone to Dr. Pedvis for over 25 years in his previous location. You are all so lucky to have him and his team to look after you in Vaughan now. I am a very complicated dental patient due to healthcare issues… I knew I was always safe with Dr. Pedvis!  I will miss your great stories, and trying not to laugh, as you work on my dental issues. Most people do not get to laugh at "The Dentist". Your new office in Woodbridge looks awesome! 

Dorothy McMahon

I have been a patient of Dr. Pedvis for 13 yrs now. He is the greatest dentist I've ever had. He's extremely gentle, listens to your concerns and is compassionate. I once emailed the woodbridge dental office with a severe toothache when it was closed. Shortly after Dr. Pedvis contacted me with my concerns, he called in a prescription for me to get me out of pain. He then took me first thing in the morning and did a root canal. I highly recommend this dental office to anybody looking for a caring dentist. Also the staff is fantastic and they truly care about you as a person.

Kimberly Oppermann

I have seen many dentists prior to Dr. Pedvis, so I believe I have ample reference points to say that Dr. Pedvis is at the top of his field. He keeps up to date with developments in the field, invests in the latest equipment for his office and is able to handle a wide variety of procedures, from simple to complex. He also maintains an equally top level network of professionals to add to his service capabilities if needed.

Christopher Omiecinski

I am pleased to share my experience I had at the office of Dr. Lloyd Pedvis. From the moment I stepped into the office, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable, by the friendly competent staff. I found the office environment very pleasant. Dr. Pedvis is an excellent dentist. He takes the time to explain every procedure, and is attentive that I was comfortable at all times.

Melissa Lombardo

Me and my family have been going to Dr. Pedvis's dental practice since 1995. He always performs excellent services, and is often available to handle emergencies. First class staff, as well. Their new location in Vaughan is stunning! Highly recommended.

Cameron A. M. Muir

Dr. Pedvis was so amazing! I can't say enough good things about him. Not only did he get me in quickly for a root canal (replying on a Sunday to my plea for help!). He was so great about addressing my pain and understanding my irrational fear. His follow up after the root canal was absolutely amazing! I was shocked at his follow through and care for his patients even after the procedure. I would recommend him to anyone in need of dental work.
