As a parent, you want to know your child will feel safe and respected at the dentist—and that their smile is in caring hands. If you’ve been looking for a pediatric dentist in New Westminster, we’re here to help! Dr. Phoebe Tsang loves helping little patients get comfortable in the dental chair, and our team goes out of our way to make each visit a positive one. Healthy habits begin early, and a welcoming dental office can make a big difference.
Why Choose Our Pediatric Dentist in New Westminster?
Choosing our pediatric dentist in New Westminster means your child gets care we design for developing teeth and gums. We build our office around kids—from the gentle way Dr. Phoebe Tsang explains procedures to the calm environment we’ve created for families. Dental anxiety? We get it. Our team takes extra time to make sure kids feel safe and heard at every step. We focus on the unique dental needs of babies, toddlers, kids, and teens, using age-appropriate language and simple demonstrations. Pediatric dentistry isn’t just about treating cavities—it’s about helping every child build confidence and healthy routines for life.
What Happens at a Pediatric Dental Visit?
When your child visits Dr. Phoebe Tsang for the first time, we take it slow. We talk to your child about what to expect, show them the cool tools we use, and let them settle into the chair at their own pace. Each visit can include a gentle check of their teeth and gums, a thorough cleaning, and time for questions (because kids are curious!). We’ll give you tips on brushing, flossing, and handling wiggly teeth at home. Sometimes, we’ll snap X-rays if we need to see development or look for small problems hiding between teeth.

Common Questions From Parents
We know parents have a bunch of questions. “When should my child’s first dental visit be?” We recommend by their first birthday or when the first tooth appears. “What if my child is nervous?” Our team uses patience and plenty of encouragement to make things easier. “How can I help my child brush?” Try using a fun timer, let them pick a toothbrush, and brush together for extra motivation. We’re always happy to offer tips and general education or answer any other questions you have—feel free to ask away at your next appointment.
Preventative Care for Growing Smiles
Preventative care sets the stage for lifelong oral health. At every visit, we focus on catching little issues early and teaching good habits. Dental sealants can protect molars from cavities, while routine cleanings keep teeth free of plaque. We can track growth and watch for signs of potential problems before they become bigger issues. Your child’s healthiest smile is our goal.
Our Welcoming, Kid-Friendly Office
Kids are cool (and so are their parents). That’s why our office feels more like a friendly hangout than a clinical space. We keep things clean, bright, and fun, with a comfortable waiting area and friendly faces at the desk. Dr. Phoebe Tsang and every team member know how to talk to kids and put them at ease—no matter how shy or active they might be. We work hard to keep wait times short, and our office setup makes room for parents who want to stay close during appointments. Start your tour here or find us on Google Maps.
