Children and teens welcome
Checkups, cleanings and fillings for children and teens at our Bertrand Avenue clinic. Book your child’s visit online, or walk in six days a week.
Dental care for kids
Golden Mile Dental is a family dental clinic at 30 Bertrand Ave in Scarborough. Our dentists see children and teens for regular checkups and cleanings, and for the problems that come up between visits, such as a cavity or a chipped tooth.
Children’s teeth change fast. Regular visits let the dentist spot decay while it’s still small and easy to treat, and show you how to care for your child’s teeth at home.
For an overview of the treatments we offer children, see our children’s dentistry page.
Your child's visit, step by step
Here's what to expect, so you can talk your child through it before you come in.
Call us, use the booking form or walk in during opening hours. Bring your child's insurance or CDCP details.
We take a few minutes to meet your child and explain each step in simple words before we start.
The dentist checks your child's teeth and gums, and then the teeth are cleaned. X-rays are taken only when the dentist needs them.
We tell you what we found and what any treatment costs before we start, along with tips for brushing at home.

Visit us
We’re at 30 Bertrand Ave, Unit B110, Scarborough, ON M1L 2P5, with free parking on site. Check our opening hours at the bottom of this page, or call (647) 490-6888 to book your child’s visit.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends a first visit within six months of the first tooth coming in, or by age one. Early visits help the dentist catch problems before they become painful, and they get your child used to the dental chair.
Booking your child’s visit at our Scarborough clinic is as easy as a phone call. Call us at (647) 490-6888 or fill out our online booking form, and our team will set up a time that works for you. You can also walk in during opening hours.
Children under 18 can qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan if the family’s adjusted net income is under $90,000 and they have no access to private dental insurance. There are other conditions too, such as filing a tax return. We check your child’s CDCP coverage at check-in and bill Sun Life directly for covered services.
Most children do well with a checkup and cleaning every six months. If your child has a higher risk of cavities, the dentist may suggest coming in more often.
Keep it simple and positive. Tell your child the dentist will count and clean their teeth, and avoid words like “hurt” or “needle”. A favourite toy can help younger kids feel at home.
Yes. We see teens for checkups and cleanings, and for fillings, wisdom tooth assessments and dental emergencies like a tooth chipped during sports.
