Our approach to teeth, bite and jaw development

At every visit we check the usual things:

  • Cavities
  • Gums
  • Hygiene
  • Developing teeth

We also look at your child’s bite, jaw development and airway signs. Dr. Agatha Bis has a strong focus on the relationship between the teeth, the bite and the jaw, and helps parents understand which signs are worth watching as their child develops.

Our goal is simple: identify what we see, explain it clearly, and help you understand the next step when needed.

Your child’s first visit

We see kids from about age 2, and earlier if you have a concern.

  1. Your child meets the team and sits in the chair before anything starts.
  2. A gentle look at the teeth, gums and bite.
  3. A cleaning if your child is comfortable.
  4. A plain explanation for you: what we found and what to watch for at home.

Bring the whole family

  • Back-to-back appointments for parents and children, so the family is seen in one trip.
  • After-school appointments from 3pm to 5pm, Monday to Wednesday.
  • The same dentist and team for every member of the family.

Parents, try this 1-minute check at home

You don’t need to be a dentist to notice changes in your child’s development. Take a minute to look for these 5 signs. They don’t necessarily mean something is wrong, but they can tell us what deserves a closer look.

Snoring or mouth breathing

Snoring or mouth breathing

How to check

How to check: Watch your child while they sleep. Do they regularly snore or sleep with their mouth open? Do they often breathe through their mouth during the day?
Why we check: These can be signs that we should take a closer look at their airway and development.

Jaw clicking or popping

Jaw clicking or popping

How to check

How to check: Ask your child to slowly open and close their mouth a few times. Listen or ask if they feel a click or pop.
Why we check: Clicking or difficulty opening can be a sign that the jaw joint needs closer assessment.

Crowded teeth

Crowded teeth

How to check

How to check: Ask your child to give you a big smile. Are any teeth overlapping, twisted or coming in without enough room?
Why we check: Crowding can give us clues about the space available as their teeth and jaws develop.

Midlines don’t match

Midlines don’t match

How to check

How to check: With their teeth gently together, look at the line between the two upper front teeth and the line between the two lower front teeth. Do they line up?
Why we check: An off-centre midline is one of the bite and jaw-development signs we screen.

Crossbite or open bite

Crossbite or open bite

How to check

How to check: Ask them to gently bite their teeth together. Do some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth? Or is there a space between the front teeth even when they're biting?
Why we check: These bite patterns are important to notice while your child is still growing.

How many did you notice?

🟢 1 sign: Mention it at their next visit.
🟡 2 signs: Make sure we check them at their next appointment.
🟠 3+ signs: Consider scheduling a visit so we can take a closer look.

*This quick check is for awareness and does not diagnose a condition.

Little teeth. Big changes.

Your child’s teeth and jaws are developing as they grow. Their dental visits give us a chance to check more than cavities and help you understand what we're seeing along the way.
