Happy visits build healthy habits for life. At Vigee Dental, we make children's appointments positive, gentle, and educational so kids feel safe, parents feel informed, and smiles grow strong. From first tooth to teen years, our team guides families with age-appropriate care and simple, practical tips.

Why Pediatric Care Matters

  • Prevents cavities and gum problems before they start

  • Guides jaw and tooth development during rapid growth

  • Builds confidence with friendly, stress-free visits

  • Teaches brushing, flossing, and diet habits that last

Services for Kids and Teens

  • First Visits and Checkups: Growth and cavity risk assessment, bite evaluation, and home-care coaching.

  • Cleanings and Polish: Gentle removal of plaque and tartar, plus stain polishing for a fresh feel.

  • Fluoride Treatments: Strengthen enamel, reduce sensitivity, and lower cavity risk.

  • Dental Sealants: Thin protective coatings for back molars to block decay in deep grooves.

  • White Fillings: Tooth-coloured repairs for small to moderate cavities.

  • Pulp Therapy (Baby Root Canal): Pain-relieving treatment to save an infected baby tooth when appropriate.

  • Space Maintainers: Hold space after early tooth loss to help adult teeth erupt correctly.

  • Habit and Ortho Guidance: Thumb or finger habit counselling, early orthodontic screening, and referrals when needed.

  • Sports Mouthguards: Custom protection for contact and wheeled sports.

  • Emergency Care: Same-day help for toothaches, chips, knocked-out or displaced teeth, and soft-tissue injuries.

  • Gentle Behaviour Management: Tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, and short, kid-paced visits. Nitrous oxide is available when appropriate.

I had a lovely visit today at Vigee for teeth checkup, cleaning and whitening. Everyone in the office went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The office is beautiful and set up to make every visit feel like a spa day. Dr. Nicole, you knocked it out of the park! Your staff is lovely and your office is beautiful!

Dr Nicole of Vigee dental is a phenomenal dentist. Conscientious, highly skilled, and HONEST. She is a visionary who understands cosmetic dentistry and dental aesthetics above and beyond any of her contemporaries. Dr Nicole is truly the master. Her clinic is high tech with the newest, state of the art technology, not to mention a beautiful, elegant space. From the wonderfully warm receptionist to the skillful dental assistants and the thorough hygienist, the entire staff is beyond anything you will ever encounter at a dental office. This dental office is like visiting the future… a far better future. (This coming from a cynical patient who has had some atrocious dental experiences in the past. I never thought I’d write a “fan letter” about a dentist but I mean every word of this. Dr Nicole is the master)
