Complete Children’s Dental Care

Dr. Fahimay Naqvi has provided Dentistry for Children for over 30 years. Both she and the team at Orion Dental Milton and Orion Dental Scarborough, are very good with children who have a fear of the Dental office.

Your child deserves a lifetime of excellent oral health. Our mission with children’s dentistry is to help you raise your children with great oral health and great dental care habits. Please read here our blog post about a guide to oral health.

The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) recommends a child’s first dental visit should be scheduled when the first tooth comes in and no later than their first birthday. This will help establish an early schedule for your child’s oral care. Our approach to the child’s oral health is family-friendly and focused on prevention.

First Visit To The Dental Office

Bring your child to your dental checkup when they are about two so that your child can become familiar with the sights, sounds, and friendly helpers in our dental office.  We call this a Happy Visit to the Kids Dentist!

The first visit dental visit is designed just to make the child comfortable with a dental office. On this visit, your child will meet with the dentist and with our staff who will show the child around the office, demonstrate equipment, in a fun and engaging way.

The kids dentist will brief you, once the consultation for your child has been completed. If there are any concerns that you want us to be aware of then filling these out in our new patient intake form would be the ideal place to convey this to us.

The office visit will include a thorough oral examination, X-rays if required, a cleaning and fluoride application.

After The First Dental Exam

After the dental exam, the kids dentist will sit down with the child and parents and talk them through whether there are any issues that need to be further investigated. The dentist will also make recommendations about any treatments needed for your child’s oral health.

We will also introduce you to how to care for your child’s oral health. And to try and ensure that your child grows up cavity-free.

Our office regularly cares for the dental needs of children as young as three years old.  If you notice that your child has a problem with their teeth or gums prior to age 3, please schedule an appointment.

Fillings Or Other Kids Dentistry Treatments

If any fillings are needed, these will be done in a second visit to the office once the child has developed familiarity and comfort with the Dental office.

Your child’s independent checkup at age three will involve a tooth-by-tooth inspection and periodontal exam. The dentist will check for proper development, as well as tooth decay and other areas of concern.

Your child will also get an opportunity to pick a gift. Please do note that this gift is dependent upon availability.

Orthodontic Procedures:

Your Milton dentist or Scarborough Dentist will then present to you a set of recommendation and timelines for when the treatment should ideally happen and also discuss with you treatment options of orthodontic therapy, which could include some of the following:

  • Children’s Orthodontics
  • Invisalign treatment
  • Brackets and Retainers
  • Braces
  • Smartclips

The Benefits Of Orthodontic Treatment For Children

Orthodontic treatments can be done at any age.

Dental experts recommend that every child should undergo an orthodontic screening the moment the first symptom of orthodontic issues are detected, usually around the age of 7 years.

At Orion Dental’s offices in Milton and Scarborough, thorough examination is performed so that it can be determined when it is best to start treatment.

Early assessment of a child’s dental condition is very crucial in orthodontics. This is because by the time a child is 7, the first adult molars begin to grow. This is when their back bite begins to be established, and an orthodontist can assess how side-to-side and front-to-back teeth relate.

For instance, the existence of growing incisors can be a sign of potential overbite, crowding, or gummy smiles. This is why it is important to create a treatment plan for your child before their jaw is fully developed, or they have had all their permanent teeth fully grown.

It will not only be helpful in saving time and money, but also enhance their self-confidence. Where there is no need for early orthodontic intervention, growth and development is carefully monitored and treatment initiated at the right time.

Early Dental Treatment

There are some children who can gain a lot from early orthodontic therapy when they are about 8 or 9 years old, followed by the next phase of treatment when they are between 11 and 12.

Early orthodontic treatment aims at correcting uneven growth of the jaws, as well as other bite problems that are developing. There are some cases where the orthodontist will be in a better position to attain outcomes that may otherwise be impossible after the face together with the jaws have completed their growth.

Children may benefit from this two-phased process. The following are some of the more prevalent conditions:

Crossbite, the place where the upper teeth close inside their lower counterparts

Serious crowding, a situation where the jaws are unable to accommodate the permanent teeth that are erupting owing to their small size

Serious under bite, a condition whereby the lower jaw grows bigger than its upper counterpart

Your family dentist at Orion Dental believes that everyone deserves straight teeth and attractive smiles.

If you feel your child can benefit from orthodontic treatment, don’t wait. Please contact us to book a consultation with your Milton Dentist at Orion Dental Milton 905-636-9770 or your Scarborough Dentist at Orion Dental Scarborough 416-291-0306. We will do a comprehensive evaluation, provide you with appropriate recommendations, and explain to you options available.

Oral Health & Dentistry for Children

How Children’s dental needs change in the early years:

Birth to 6 months of age:

This doesn’t really need to be said but it is really important to care for your child’s teeth and their oral health right from birth. A good start will ensure far fewer problems along the way!

A simple and visible result of healthy habits is the prevention or a substantial reduction of tooth decay or cavities in infants and young children.

So, what can you do to help with your child’s oral health?

– Make sure to always clean your infant’s gums after feeding. Use a moistened washcloth wrapped around your index finger, and with that gently massage your child’s gum tissues.

– Try not to put your baby to bed with a bottle by just propping it in their mouth. Try also not to allow your baby to feed any amount and at any time.

– Infants normally begin teething between four and six months of age. If your child’s gums appear reddish or swollen this could cause their saliva flow to increase. To help reduce the child’s discomfort you could give them a chilled teething ring or a cold wet washcloth.

– Do not test the temperature of your child’s bottle by putting it in your own mouth. This could cause the transmission of bacteria to your child.

– Do not clean a pacifier or a bottle nipple by putting it in your mouth. This could similarly cause the transmission of bacteria to your child.

Remember, that dental decay is a disease that can be transmitted by bacteria.

6-12 months of age:

The lower end of this age band is the time when your child would get their first tooth. It is therefore extremely important that good oral care be maintained at this age.

Healthy oral care habits can prevent or reduce tooth decay or cavities.

– Cleaning your child’s gums and teeth continues to be important. Move from just the wet washcloth that you have been using to a soft bristle toothbrush with no toothpaste.

– Continue to massage the gums

– Teething can be painful for the child. Therefore, to lessen the symptoms of teething you could give your child a clean teething ring or a cold wet washcloth. Remember that cold temperatures are soothing for the child at this time and so you could chill the teething ring prior to giving it to the child.

– Begin to wean your baby from the bottle as your infant begins to eat more solid foods and drinks from a cup.

– Transition your child to drinking a cup for water or juice.

– Do not allow your baby to walk around with their bottle in their mouth. It is important to begin limiting the frequency and amount of sweetened beverages and foods you give your child.

– You should be familiar with your child’s mouth and gums. Should you see any suspicious brown or white spots on your child’s teeth; this may be dental decay. Should you notice this, schedule an appointment with your child’s dentist right away.

– Your child’s first dental appointment should ideally be around 6 to 8 months of age or at the latest within 6 months after the first tooth appears.

– Speak with your child’s dentist about whether fluoride supplements are needed for your child.

– Do not test the temperature of your child’s bottle by putting it in your own mouth. This could cause the transmission of bacteria to your child.

– Do not clean a pacifier or a bottle nipple by putting it in your mouth. This could similarly cause the transmission of bacteria to your child.

Remember, that dental decay is a disease that can be transmitted by bacteria.

 

12 to 18 months of age:

By the age of one, your child should have had an oral examination by a dentist.

– You should continue to brush your child’s teeth with a soft bristled toothbrush and using water. You should brush your child’s teeth twice a day.

– You should be familiar with your child’s mouth and gums. Should you see any suspicious brown or white spots on your child’s teeth; this may be dental decay. Should you notice this, schedule an appointment with your child’s dentist right away.

– In the event that your child has not had a dental appointment as yet, then you should definitely schedule an appointment with a dentist at a Kids dentistry for your child’s oral exam.

– Avoid anything that can transmit bacteria to your child’s mouth as described in the earlier stages.

 

18 months to age 5:

Between 2 and 3 years of age, or at roughly 30 months of age, all your child’s primary teeth should have come into the mouth.

About 3 years of age onwards your child would be developing language skills and exploring the world. Even though its tough to get a child to sit still at this age, yet this is the age during which you can teach your child good dental health habits.

– Look out that by this age of 30 months your child should have stopped using a pacifier and also stopped sucking their thumb.

– At the age of about 24 months initiate your child into using fluoridated toothpaste. The amount used should be small. Generally the amount of toothpaste recommended is “pea sized”.

– Children will need help with brushing technique while they develop their hand coordination to do this independently. A good teaching method is to have your child brush in the morning and you brush at night until your child masters the hand coordination needed for an effective brushing technique.

– You need to ensure that the child doesn’t swallow the toothpaste. Teach them to spit out the toothpaste.

– You should begin to floss your child’s teeth as soon as they touch each other. It would be best to speak with your dentist about the right timing and technique to floss your child’s teeth and to help teach your child how to floss.

– If by about the age of 4 your child is still sucking on his or her fingers or thumb, you need to train them to stop this habit. If the child can’t stop, see your child’s dentist, who will help you deal with this problem.

– You should be familiar with your child’s mouth and gums. Should you see any suspicious brown or white spots on your child’s teeth; this may be dental decay. Should you notice this, schedule an appointment with your child’s dentist right away.

– At this age you need to begin scheduling for your child a regular checkup with a dentist.

This is also the age when children begin to play unsupervised and sometimes play hard enough to cause an injury. This injury could be to a tooth too. For example – here are our top seven tips for safe trick-or-treating this Halloween!

You should learn about what you can to prevent injuries to your child’s teeth. And as importantly learn about what to do in a dental emergency. For more information please visit our Dental emergencies page.

 

Fluoride Application

Most Canadian tap water contains fluoride today. However, most bottled water doesn’t. Many people have fluoride deficiency, which puts teeth at a greater risk for getting cavities. In some cases, parents think that they are protecting their babies by using bottled water to mix formula, but actually, tap water is better in this case. Many children pack bottled water in school lunches, and adults tend to toss a bottled water in the car instead of filling up a reusable water bottle with tap water.

Fluoride is an interesting mineral because it attracts other minerals and strengthens tooth enamel. At your checkup, we can determine whether your teeth would benefit from a fluoride supplement. If we find that your teeth could use a boost, we’ll recommend a simple solution.

Fluoride mouth rinse in many flavours is available at our office. One quick rinse and your teeth will have a better chance of staying healthy. We offer supplemental fluoride for patients of all ages. Oftentimes, our hygienist will recommend additional ways to keep your fluoride levels up between dental visits. These may include switching to tap water or using a fluoride-rich mouthwash at home.

This place was a blessing for me. I was suffering from infected root canal done from years ago in another country. It got so bad and I was starting to feel the pressure on my face already. I called and spoke with receptionist ate Marieta who was super nice she squeezed me in within an hour. When I got there I didn’t know what to expect , I met Dr. Naqvi and I told her my concerns. She ordered xray and when she saw the result she prescribed me meds right away and explained what was going on. I just felt right then that she will get me the best treatment. And she did! After few visits and few pokes (which she Always asked me if I would like) my root canal is re treated and it’s now healed . She explained every step to me and set my expectation on the treatment.she’s very gentle , very detailed and most of all you can feel she really cares. I ended up replacing my bridge with her too and again with amazing results. They billed exactly what ate Marieta tells me ( thank you ate!) and that was very nice so I knew how to prepare because I was also working on budget on my crowns . I love Dr. Naqvi . Thank you Orion scarborough.

Orion Dental is a great dental office! The Dr's and staff are very professional and accommodating to my needs. I was nervous and was having a anxiety attack, and they helped me feel comfortable and my anxiety went away. The office makes you feel like family from once you enter till you exit.When you walk in you are greeted with smiles not only from the staff but also the beautiful fish. The office is very clean and sanitary, and no need to question sanitization protocol. I've been to a few dental offices and Orion Dental is that hidden gem.

Dr Naqvi is an incredibly knowledgeable dentist; I unfortunately was experiencing tooth pain and her office was able to fit me in for an appointment (the same day) and she did X-rays. She filled a deep cavity on the spot. Because of how close to the nerve the cavity was, the tooth was still causing me pain. A few weeks later, they again fit me in for an examination and then did a root canal the very next day. For the root canal, Dr Naqvi listened to my concerns and busy life and did not rush into it. Dr Naqvi examined the tooth/area to confirm that performing a root canal would actually solve my pain. She is incredibly patient, empathetic, and truly cares about her patients. As someone who is not a fan of visiting any dentist, Dr Naqvi is amazing and I know I am in good hands when I’m under her care. I can not recommend her enough. I drove over 1.5 hours to get a root canal so she could be the one performing it. If you’re looking for an incredible dentist, don’t hesitate to be a patient of Dr. Naqvi!

You should be careful if you are looking for a dental clinic and have taken the reviews in your account to choose this clinic. There is a risk that these comments are false. You should ask someone about this clinic if possible, or go there and see for yourself first, that would be better.

I have nothing but love and appreciation to Dr. Naqvi and her Orion Dental Scarborough team. Ate Marrieta from the reception has been very accommodating since day 1 in my almost 1 year of going to them. Every service I had was superb from routine cleaning to my complex dental appointments. I appreciate that they provide full range of dental services, were honest enough to lay down what I need and have always respected my time. I am currently in the process of getting dental implants but have to undergo bone surgery and orthodontic treatment (and probably a few more steps before the actual implant). Nonetheless, I am at ease with Dr. Naqvi’s expertise, it really helped that she made sure I am involved all through out, listened to all my worries and is informative in a way that I can easily understand. The entire team were professional and have done a really good job with making my experience comfortable.

I came to Orion to do a consult, this was my first time coming here. I filled out the forms and waited in the waiting room for 1h. I was like okay whatever the doctor is running behind. The receptionist walks me to a room and tells me to sit so I did, and waited about 45 min. I was pretty bored because the place building doesn't have the greatest reception (Rogers), no WiFi and the TV in the room was off.The dentist comes in and asks what is the problem and I tell her. While I was explaining what I needed done she is completely ignored me.She looks at my teeth for like 30 sec and tells me exactly what I just told her. I ask her what do we need to do and she tells me she isn't a Orthodontist so I ask her then why does it say on yourwebsite that you do Orthodontist work? She said I am not an Orthodontist but I do the work, I am like okay what needs to be done?She said I needed braces and that was all, she didn't explain any further. Also, no one went over with me how much it costs etc. I waited almost 2h for a 2 min and 45 sec consult and had to pay $140. Such a waste of time and money.The receptionist seemed alright, she wasn't overly friendly but wasn't rude. This could be because she was really busy. I should also mention that the receptionist asked if I had insurance 3 times and the Doctor asked me once.

The receptionist is extremely friendly and nice. Their whole staff is actually. Dr. Naqvi is warm, she shows that she cares about the patient and down to earth. I brought my 9 year old daughter in who has some extra fused teeth on her fronts, she made sure that she wouldn't get made fun of for something she has no control over and was very concerned.

Orion Dental Scarborough in my Opinion and on a personal note is a Great Dentisry. The Staff are Caring and very Polite. I had a bad experience at a different Dental office and was leary about going into another Dental office until I went to Orion Dental Scarborough. They listen to how you feel and always check to make sure you are comfortable during your appointment. Thank you Dr Navi , Marieta and All of your Wonderful Staff. ☺

Orion Dental is run by the most wonderful group of Women. My dislike for the dentist was extremely high I was at the point my mouth was not in a good place the anxiety was even worse from past trips to different dentists in the city! The teams ability to be patient every step, to not judge me for feeling like a chicken to sit in the chair, to making sure I get my laughing gas and the music is turned up loud and the kindness from them all is why I continue to go and continue to work with them on a treatment plan to give me back my mouth. I am forever grateful to Orion Dental for building a great relationship with me. I tell everyone about that office everyone needs to go to them just once and you won’t look back!

Went in for a simple cleaning, but was forced to do X-rays and Doctor's consultation. When confronted about all the unnecessary charges the Dentist came out and treated me like some charity case and told me to "get out"... They're very nice to people who splurge on all recommended treatments though. But to be fair they do good work from what I understand... and the receptionist and dental assistant who did the cleaning were very polite, professional and efficient.

After many years of having anxiety surrounding going to the dentist, I have finally found a place that manages to make me feel like I am in good hands. Anytime a procedure has been needed, it has been explained to me so well and all of my questions answered, and i always walk away feeling happy. I highly recommended this clinic.

Orion Dental is one of best place in Milton. I am visiting this place for more than 10 years. Great services from Dr. Naqvi and the entire team.

I have seen Dr. Naqvi for a variety of dental procedures ranging from fillings, to Invisalign, Zoom whitening, and an implant. I have found Dr. Naqvi to be very knowledgeable and patient. She and her team are very friendly.

Went in for a cleaning & filling, my cleaning with the hygienist was fine but I didn’t have a great experience with Dr. Naqvi and her dental assistant. I appreciate being told what to expect at each step, being involved and looked after nicely. It felt like I wasn’t there and I was just a mouth that they were working on. Dr. Naqvi didn’t give me a heads up about when she’d put the needle in for freezing, she put her dental tools on my chest as she was working on my filling instead of putting them on the tray - which I disliked extremely and I’m pretty sure is not standard practice, and her assistant didn’t know any of the tools Dr. Naqvi would ask her for. Dr. Naqvi would have to stop what she’s doing to help her find the tool she needed - not sure if she’s a student or not but I found it very unprofessional for both me and Dr. Naqvi. Dr. Naqvi did a good job on the filling but I left feeling very agitated and it was an unpleasant experience overall.

The whole team is fantastic! Anytime I’ve had to change my appointment, they’ve been so kind and accommodating. And they take the time to get to know you while you’re being treated, which makes it a more personal experience. It doesn’t matter who I am dealing with, because everyone is wonderful.

My wife and I have been patients for little over 2 years, and as mentioned before the staff and Dr. Naqvi treat us like family.Going for dental appointments have never been as relaxing and calming as they are when visiting Orion Dental.

This whole dental office and their team is amazing. I moved two hours away and still make the drive to Milton to continue services with Dr. Navi and her team. Always clean, always friendly, always professional and always great service. They are turning into family for me and I refuse to go elsewhere.

I had an emergency with my tooth and on the recommendation from my husband I contacted Orion Dental. The staff are very welcoming and COVID-19 protocols are followed. Dr. Naqvi took the time to make sure I understood everything that needed to happen with my tooth. I'm very happy with the care and service I received. Thank you.

Stay away from this dentist. Dr. naqvi is very incompetent and unprofessional. A girlfriend of mine had an RCT there in the past which went wrong and my friend ended up loosing two teeth. This dentist will just rip off your insurance and nothing else. Dr. Naqvi is super rude. This dentist is hardly open couple of a days a week. Don't waste your time and money here and search for a full time professional dentist. I am sure there are a lot of good dentists in Milton area. Thanks

Was referred by Opencare to this dentist, but when I got there I wanted to be sure they were not going to "upcharge" me because I was referred through Opencare, and good thing I checked- because there is a minimum amount they charge for their first visit. Which I understand, and was okay to proceed with as long as it was covered under my benefits and was not x-rays (i'm pregnant). What was unfortunate was that they were not interested in looking at what my benefit insurance (Manulife Insurance) covered and treating me according to my coverage. My benefits don't cover me for 100% of whatever a dentists wants to do and charge- nor do I even know or trust these people yet. I took it upon myself to call my Insurance provider while there, and also brought my detailed coverage- and learned that 1) they don't typically look at their clients insurance coverage before treating them.2) The dentist wanted to charge me 3 units of scaling every visit. (instead of the 2 that i'm covered for every 6 months) I don't want to have to pay an extra $70-$80 out of pocket every time I visit this dentist because they were doing things I am not covered for. Why can't they just treat me according to what i'm covered for. I have never had this problem in the best with other dentists. They simply look at what i'm covered for and pro-actively ask me for consent if they need to do something more that's not in my plan. This isn't the case with Orion Dental- 0% flexibility in this regard, the receptionist did not even try to be accommodating. If you have benefits like mine- where you are not covered 100% for everything this place might not be the place for you.

Worst experience I’ve ever had. Had to get a cavity filled .. I left in more pain than I initially had ... also had water spraying in my face the entire time and it was so so messy..Went back to share my concerns about my tooth and the dentist proceeded to drill at my teeth without freezing me and I was obviously in a ton of discomfort ... wanted to speak to the receptionist about my experience ... the doctor could tell I was upset and hovered around until I left .. so I couldn’t speak to the front desk who it my experience .I wouldn’t ever trust this place with my teeth again.

Convenient location and nice & clean clinic, staff is courteous. Accommodating with appointments and direct billing to insurance. However, there are areas of improvement in the practice Like other clinics. I would go again.

I have known and been a client of Dr. Naqvi's for over 10 years now and can't say enough great things about the care I get from Orion Dental. Not only is Doc a superb dentist, she is a kind and generous human being. I've had some challenges with my teeth from neglect when I was younger but you would never know it now, as well I've had some cosmetic upgrades in the form of veneer's done that makes me proud to smile again. I don't understand the negative review on here, I'm sure it's some disgruntled man who has a problem with a woman in a position of power or it's some bot...not sure but it doesn't matter cuz Dr. Naqvi and her amazing staff are simply the best. :-)

Needed a receptionist on duty. The office was busy with appointments and the dental staff was covering as the receptionist was off. Hygienist was nice, but I still have some coffee stains on my teeth she missed during the cleaning. She did do well to make me feel comfortable which was valued as I have dental anxiety and she was friendly. Checkout process took very long, as Dr. Fahimay Naqvi was not acquainted with the checkout/billing process (nor should she be) might have been better to have a process in place for when the receptionist is not there. Experience was fine but not sure how I feel about coming back.

Always a warm welcome. They are super accommodating to people with young families and time constraints. Very knowledgeable and gentle. I had a problem tooth for years and after other dentists at other offices were stumped Dr. Naqvi came in and realized what the problem was after a thorough exam. I am thoroughly impressed by their care and service and I’d recommend them 100%.

Every time i visit this place the stuff is so perfect the place is clean and nice the team is very good in the way how they treat their patients.My 12 year old 6 year old love going there because they know they are treated in the best way most likely like a family Dr Fahimya (sorry if i spelled the name incorrectly) and the team I as your patient would prefer this dental office to everyone who would like their perfection done.
