Pediatric Dentistry in Carleton Place, ON
Creating Positive First Experiences, One Child at a Time
We Start Slow, On Purpose
First visits are about building trust. We take time to say hello, explain what we’re doing, and let your child get comfortable. They’re welcome to sit on your lap, bring a favourite toy, or just explore the space at their own pace.
“Happy Visits” That Build Confidence
If your child is new to the dentist or feels nervous, we begin with what Dr. Jazz calls “happy visits.” These are pressure-free introductions where your child can meet the team, check out the chair, and see that nothing scary is happening. It’s all about making the dentist feel like a safe and even fun place to be.
Gentle Exams and Personalized Tips
When your child is ready, we’ll gently check their teeth, clean if appropriate, and offer practical tips for brushing and care at home. We’ll always talk through what we’re doing and listen if anything feels uncomfortable.
Emergency Dental Care for Children
Toothaches, accidents, and playground tumbles happen, and we’re here to help. We leave space in our schedule for same-day visits so your child doesn’t have to wait in pain. From chipped teeth to sudden swelling, call us as soon as something feels off. We’ll guide you through what to do and make a plan to get them smiling again.
Dental Care for Kids with Special Needs
Every child is different, and that includes how they experience the dentist. If your child has sensory sensitivities, developmental needs, or medical considerations, we’ll work with you to create a calm, flexible visit. That might mean extra time, modified tools, or a step-by-step approach that gives your child more control.
Let us know what works best for them, and we’ll do everything we can to make their visit successful.
What We Offer for Growing Smiles
Preventive Cleanings & Exams
Routine checkups help catch problems early and keep teeth clean. We use a gentle approach and explain each step to help kids feel at ease during their visit.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps protect against cavities—especially important during the early years when kids are still mastering their brushing.
Dental Sealants
We apply thin, protective coatings to the back teeth (molars), where most childhood cavities start. Sealants help reduce the risk of decay in these hard-to-clean spots.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
If your child has a cavity, we use safe, natural-looking fillings to repair the tooth while keeping their smile bright and seamless.
Crowns for Kids
For larger cavities or damaged teeth, a pediatric crown adds strength and protection, especially on baby teeth that still have important work to do.
Space Maintainers
If a baby tooth is lost too early, a custom space maintainer keeps the area open for the adult tooth to come in properly, supporting healthy development.
Sports Mouth Guards
Custom-fit mouth guards protect your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw during sports or high-impact activities, fitting better and offering more comfort than store-bought options.
Say Hello to Dr. Jazz Smyl Joly
Our Dental Association
Proud to Serve Our Neighbours, One Smile at a Time
I grew up in a small town, so I know how much it means to have care close to home. I chose to build my practice here because I love this community, and I want my patients to feel that the moment they walk in. The clinic is my happy place, and I hope it becomes yours too.

What happens during my child’s first dental appointment?
Your child’s first visit is all about comfort and connection. We’ll gently check their teeth and gums, offer tips on home care, and help them get used to the sights and sounds of the dental office. We call these “happy visits” because we take it at your child’s pace.
When should my child see a dentist for the first time?
We recommend booking your child’s first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth coming in. At Spur Line Dental in Carleton Place, we use these early visits to build trust, answer your questions, and make dental care feel safe and fun.
