About Us

Dr. Arif Mamdani and his team are committed to ensuring that children throughout Durham and the surrounding communities have pleasant experiences that make them comfortable with the dental environment, and create positive oral health habits for the rest of their lives.
We pace your child’s care to match their individual comfort level, and emphasise gentle and proactive services to assure their comfort with dentistry. Should your child be uncomfortable with the dental environment due to previous experiences, we also provide safe and conservative sedation through laughing gas. This treatment allows us to enhance your child’s relaxation in our office, and to ensure effective preventive and restorative care for your child as necessary.

When should my child have their first dental visit?
It’s recommended to bring your child for their first dental visit around their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help establish a positive dental experience and allow the dentist to monitor oral health from an early age.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Children should typically have a dental checkup every six months. Regular visits help prevent dental issues and promote good oral hygiene habits. Your dentist will determine if more frequent visits are needed based on your child’s oral health needs.
How do you handle dental anxiety in children?
Dental anxiety is normal, and our team is experienced in working with children to help them feel at ease. We use gentle and child-friendly techniques, explain procedures in a simple manner, and offer distractions like movies or games during treatments. If needed, sedation options can also be discussed for more complex procedures.
How can I prevent cavities in my child?
We offer dental sealants and fluoride treatments to protect teeth. Our team will also guide you on brushing, flossing, and a healthy diet.
Getting ready for the dental visit?
Discuss the visit positively, read books, bring comfort items, and we’ll make their experience as smooth as possible.
