Children’s Dentist in Sarnia:
Cleaning, sedation, and mouth guards
Gentle, Compassionate Care for Young Smiles
A child’s first experiences at the dentist set the stage for how they feel about dental care for years to come. That’s why at Wellington Dental, we make children’s dentistry fun, gentle, and stress-free. From their very first visit through the teenage years, Dr. Erin Manicom and our team are here to ensure every child feels comfortable, reassured, and safe in the dental chair.
We know kids can sometimes feel nervous, or even scared, about going to the dentist. That’s why we take extra time to explain what’s happening, use kid-friendly language (for example, we refer to the dental nitrous oxide as the “peppermint air machine” or brushing the “sugar bugs” off your teeth) , and offer treatment options that help keep visits calm and pain-free.
Making Dental Care Affordable
Routine cleanings help keep young teeth healthy by removing plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t reach. Our gentle, kid-friendly approach makes cleanings stress-free while teaching children the importance of good oral hygiene.

Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities often form. This quick, painless treatment helps prevent decay and is especially effective for children, who may find brushing tricky as they learn good oral habits.

For kids who feel especially anxious, nitrous oxide (also known as “laughing gas”) is a safe and gentle option to help them relax. It’s quick-acting, wears off fast, and allows your child to remain awake and cooperative while feeling calm and comfortable.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Active kids deserve strong protection. Custom-made sports guards cushion and protect growing teeth during contact sports, reducing the risk of injury far better than store-bought versions. Our guards are designed to fit comfortably so kids can focus on the game.
