Woodroffe Pediatric Dentistry
The most important part of the first visit is getting to know and becoming comfortable with the dentist and their staff. A pleasant, comfortable first visit builds trust and helps put the child at ease during future dental visits.





We are dental specialists who have completed additional years of university-based advanced studies in dentistry for children. This training includes all aspects of clinical dentistry for children as well as growth and development, orthodontics, sedation and management of dental anxieties for infants, children and teens. We also specialize in the care of children with special needs including children with medical problems, developmental delays and autism.
Welcome to Woodroffe Pediatric Dentistry, a leading children and teens dentistry practice in Ottawa, Ontario. We delight in caring for kids from all over the Ottawa Valley, Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. Excellent oral health is vital for a child’s development, and we’re here to help every step of the way!


Normally the first tooth erupts between ages 6 to 12 months. Gums can be sore, tender and sometimes irritable with erupting teeth.
Sedative medications are used for some patients to improve their comfort and cooperation during treatment.
Oral growth and development is monitored at each exam to allow for timely referrals to an orthodontic specialist.
