A lifetime of smiles starts with a good foundation
Healthy smiles are an important part of your child’s development all the way through their teenage years and into adulthood but it’s not always easy to juggle that busy family lifestyle. Between work, school and everything else, sometimes it feels like you can’t catch a break.
We want your trips to the dentist to be as smooth and effortless as possible. We would be happy to accommodate your busy family with flexible hours and appointments that are grouped together.
As your child grows up, they’ll pass many dental care milestones including their first appointment, losing their baby teeth, getting their adult teeth and one day coming to the dentist by themselves to continue their routine dental care. We can’t wait to be there for each new step.

Contact us today
to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your child will start to cut their first teeth at around 6 months. It is recommended that children visit the dentist by the age of 1 or within 6 months of getting their first tooth. If you suspect something might be wrong or your child might be experiencing discomfort or pain, please book an appointment as soon as possible. It’s never too late for a child to have their first dental appointment.
Baby teeth are no less important than adult teeth. Parents should understand that baby teeth do so much more than hold space in the jaws for permanent teeth. Children’s teeth can permanently affect how their face appears, how they smile and how often they smile. Children who are free to develop confidence and smile big in their early years tend to hang on to those habits. Dental pain, even mild pain that children learn to normalize, will have a lasting negative impact on children’s eating habits including how they chew, what kind of food they prefer and how much food they eat.
The length of the appointment will depend on the needs of the child and how cooperative they’re feeling during the exam. That being said, an appointment typically lasts about one hour.
Your toddler, child or teen should come to the dentist as frequently as you do. We recommend a checkup and cleaning every 6 months unless otherwise specified. If your child has a tooth or jaw ache if you notice them rubbing or nursing their jaw a lot or if you notice them avoiding hard or cold foods please book an appointment sooner.
A cavity is a hole in the tooth that gets bigger with time. A cavity may or may not hurt or cause sensitivity. It’s important to get cavities repaired before they become more serious or lead to infection, even in baby teeth! Cavities are caused by bacteria and dental plaque and made worse by sugary or acidic foods and drink. Some people are more prone to cavities than others.
Your mouth isn’t just your teeth. It’s a whole system including teeth, tongue, gums, cheeks, glands, ligaments, joints, bone and more. When one aspect of your oral health sugars, your whole mouth suffers. Swollen itchy, sore or bleeding gums can be an early indicator of a much more serious problem.
We understand how hectic family life can be! We can serve the whole gang by booking multiple appointments side-by-side. Please give us a call and we would be happy to accommodate you.

The team at Cottage Country Dental is truly top notch. I have a big fear of going to the dentist, but this was honestly one of the best experiences I have had going to the dentist. Christine was extremely prompt when I submitted an online request for an appointment, and so lovely when I went in for my appointment. My hygienist Danielle was very gentle with the cleaning and regularly checked in throughout my appointment on how I was doing, she was honestly the best hygienist I have ever had, and big bonus she had Fleetwood Mac playing too! The dental assistant Kelly was also extremely kind and was very thorough with her explanations, more so than I have ever experienced at a dentist appointment. Dr. Danyal, while my visit was brief, was informative and very nice too. I was nervous about finding a new dentist after moving here a couple of years ago, but I am glad I chose the Cottage Country Dental team!

I had a very good experience not only as my initial visit as a new patient but also with my following appt for teeth extractions and a follow up. I was extremely nervous but they put me at ease and offer great options for "sleep dentistry". All in all I am very happy with Cottage Country and highly recommend them.

I don’t normal take the time to write a review of places but I definitely will for this company. The level of professionalism and compassion I received at each appointment has been amazing. I was incredibly nervous and emotional for my root canal and I was met with understanding and kindness and that should not go unnoticed. Dr. Pagah Mirzakhalili and her assistant took the time to talk to me and made me feel safe and checked in with me throughout my procedure. A great company that I am happy to be a patient of now. :)
