My son didn't have a good experience previous at a different clinic, and I heard great things about Tooth Pals. The rumors were definitely true! Dr Ranjan and his staff were amazing and so fast doing my son's dental procedure! I am so grateful how patient and awesome they were with him during the whole thing! So proud of my son for doing so well, and I would definitely recommend tooth pals to those with anxious kids especially!Posted on Google![]()

My son has been through a difficult experience because of a tooth infection, and we were referred to your team. He was scared and anxious, but the staff were so gentle with him. They stayed calm and patient, supporting him and guiding him through every step. His fear is starting to ease, and now he says he wants to come back! I hope his next appointment goes as well as the first. Thank you again. I feel so relieved.Posted on Google![]()

My son needed some pretty major dental work and I was feeling like a terrible parent because of it. Arlene and Dr Ranjan were so amazing throughout the whole process, and made me feel better about things. They worked with us to get him done as soon as possible before my husbands insurance cut out, and followed up with us once the procedure was done.Posted on Google![]()

If your child needs anesthesia for dental work or has complex needs that make dentist visits difficult I would highly recommend going here. We've been going for 3 years and they've helped us use our fscd coverage. Happy visits are also available if your child(ren) are not comfortable with seeing a dentist yet.
Fun, approachable oral-health education for children across Airdrie.
Still wondering about something? Our team is happy to talk it through before you arrive.
We focus on comfort and familiarity first. Your child can explore the space, meet our team and see the tools before a gentle examination. We’ll discuss development, home care and any concerns you have without rushing the experience.
Tell us what has helped—or been difficult—in the past. We use child-friendly language, show-tell-do techniques, breaks and positive reinforcement. Quiet rooms, TVs, weighted blankets and other accommodations may also help.
For many common procedures, Solea can reduce or eliminate the need for a needle, local anesthetic and a traditional drill. Every child and treatment is different, so Dr. Ranjan will confirm whether it is the right option.
Yes. We provide assessment and laser release services for tongue-ties and lip-ties, along with clear guidance about preparation, aftercare and any collaborative support your child may need.
Yes. Tooth Pals accepts private and government insurance plans, including the Canadian Dental Care Plan, and offers direct billing whenever possible.
Call us as soon as possible. Same-day emergency appointments are available, and we do our best to get your child comfortable and cared for quickly.
