Safety & Quality of Care
Providing quality care
What is complete kids-first & family centered dental care?
Sunnybrook Dentistry’s mission is to provide compassionate, extraordinary dental care every day for children and their families. This is based on a foundation of providing complete dental care in a safe, kids-first, family-centered environment.
What is complete kids-first & family centered dental care?
Complete kids-first and family-centered care is our partnership with parents, children and their families to provide a collaborative atmosphere that improves oral health outcomes. We want to support and encourage the well-being of our child (and adult) patients at all levels of dental care through partnerships.
We want parents involved in their child’s dental care. We encourage parents to come back while their child receives treatment and provide a copy of their child’s treatment plan at every visit.
