Children’s Dentistry
Our children’s dentistry – Jericho Dental Centre turns dental visits into a fun learning experience for children!
Children’s Dentistry is important to ensuring healthy and dazzling white smiles. According to the Canadian Dental Association, your child’s first dental visit should be by the age of one, or within the first six months from the eruption of the first tooth. While most parents are unaware of its importance, early care in children’s teeth and oral health is essential. Education, prevention, and good hygiene are among the reasons why we like to see your children at an early age. The first appointment we treat as a fun introduction to dentistry. We will check for decay, review brushing techniques, clean and polish their teeth, and provide a fluoride treatment. We also use the first exam to educate parents about their child’s oral health and discuss with them the importance of a healthy diet and how different foods and drinks can affect their child’s teeth.
At Jericho Dental Centre, we’re passionate about children’s dentistry and helping your child have a dazzling smile!
Root Canal Therapy
Want Relief From Tooth Pain? Root Canal Therapy Can Save Teeth, Relieve Pain, And Swelling
Symptoms of a Root Canal Infection
Root Canal Treatment Process
Endodontic treatment is one of the commonly feared dental treatments, however, today’s dental technology, as well as our professional and experienced dentist at Jericho Dental can make the process as smooth, simple, and comfortable as can be.
First step is to make an opening into the chewing surface of the tooth, creating access to the pulp chamber. The infected pulp is removed and space is cleaned thoroughly. The pulp chamber and root canal is then filled and sealed carefully. In most cases, a full-coverage dental restoration, such as a dental crown or dental onlays, has to be attached to the tooth to prevent further damage and restore the tooth’s shape, strength and function.
Gum Disease Therapy

Gum Disease, also known as Periodontal Disease, is an inflammation of the gums that is caused by bacterial and tartar build-up on our teeth and under the gum line. Tartar forms over time when bacterial and plaque build-ups are not cleaned off and harden on our teeth. The severity of the disease may vary depending on the amount of plaque accumulation.
Mild gum irritation.
Minor bleeding during regular brushing and flossing.
Occasional bad breath.

Mouthguards
Our Langley dental office offers well-fitted mouthguards to protect your teeth, jaws, lips, cheeks, and gums.
Mouthguards are resilient plastic appliances designed to protect a person’s teeth from impacting force from teeth grinding and injuries while playing sports. At Jericho Dental Centre in Langley, BC, we provide you with custom-fitted mouthguards that are designed specifically to perfectly fit your dental arch to provide the ultimate protection.
Sports Guards
Sports guards are recommended to all our athlete patients or patients who partake in high-intensity daily activities. They ensure the safety of your teeth during any sports encounters, accidents, or injuries. The sports guard absorbs the pressure exerted by any force to the mouth area, leaving your teeth and gums intact.
Night Guards
Nightguards are essential for people, who tend to grind their teeth or clench their jaws during sleep. This hard to control habit can cause serious health problems, such as chronic headaches, earaches, and jaw pain, among others. The night guard absorbs the pressure caused by teeth grinding, prevents your teeth from getting worn down and absorbs the pressure that can effect your jaw joints and muscles.
