As someone who has been terrified of dentists, I personally recommend this dental office. Staff is very nice, understanding and professional. Minimal pain and discomfort. My worst enemy has been my own anxiety.

I had a great experience with my dental hygienist ( Hengameh).
Hengameh was kind, calm, and very gentle, which made the whole appointment comfortable and stress-free. She was also highly professional and attentive throughout. I truly appreciated her care.

I also had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I can’t thank my dentist ( Dr. Sasan ) enough for how smoothly everything went. The tooth was in bad shape and difficult to remove, but Dr. Sasan was incredibly skilled, calm, and patient throughout the entire procedure.
He made sure I was comfortable at every step and constantly checked to ensure I wasn’t feeling any pain. His gentle and reassuring approach made a stressful situation so much easier. I really appreciated how professional yet kind he was the whole time.
If you’re nervous about dental procedure, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Sasan . You’ll be in very capable and caring hands!

Ive been coming to this dental clinic since 2001(?) and despite having plenty of clinics near my house, i make the 1 hour commute to see Dr Jane.
Last week i made an appointment due to a chipped tooth on my upper left molar. Thats when I found out that Dr Jane has retired and was referred to Dr Sassan. I was skeptical at first but after the procedure i realized that i wont have to worry about finding a new dental clinic for me and my family. Dr Sassan is easy to talk to, professional, honest, gentle and not painful, light with his hands and wont “recommend” Un”necessary” to work. The team is of course exceptional. They never disappoint

Mandy and Dr. Sima are absolutely wonderful! From my very first phone call to walking out after my appointment, the entire experience was welcoming, organized and stress free.

I was looking for a dentist in my area, and after checking out a few offices, this one stood out, both for the amazing reviews and how transparent and informative their website was. Before booking, I called with a few questions and the receptionist was very helpful. They explained everything clearly about scheduling, insurance and what to expect as a new patient. Booking was easy and I appreciated the reminder before my appointment.

When I arrived, the office was clean, quiet, and had a calm, relaxing atmosphere. which means a lot if you get anxious about dental visits. Mandy, at the front desk, was incredibly kind and patient. She helped with my new patient forms, figured out my insurance details and even took extra time afterward to go over plans, insurance stuff, she took care of it all, answered all of my follow-up questions. She made the whole process simple, transparent and genuinely supportive.

Dr. Sima was just as amazing, warm, gentle, and very thorough. She took her time with me and She explained every step before doing anything, which helped me feel comfortable. Her assistant was also very welcoming and easy to talk to. I have specific dental needs and Dr. Sima went above and beyond to help plan a realistic treatment timeline based on both urgent priorities and insurance coverage. She made sure I understood what to expect and I really appreciated how clear and honest she was about my options, no surprises or confusion. Very excited to have her as my dentist!

The teamwork between Dr. Sima and Mandy was exceptional. Everything felt seamless, organized and genuinely caring.

It had been a while since my last dental visit and I had some anxiety around it, but they made me feel completely at ease. The office is welcoming, spotless & peaceful. the kind of environment that immediately makes you feel calm and welcomed.

After my appointment, Dr. Sima and Mandy clearly explained next steps, insurance details and how follow-ups would work.

Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. If you’re looking for gentle, honest and thorough dental care in a warm, welcoming environment… I can’t recommend this office enough.They went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. I was so happy with my visit that I immediately booked my son’s first appointment here too. I left feeling anxiety free, supported and cared for. I’m really glad I chose this office and look forward to my next visit!

I am a new patient having recently moved to Toronto. All the staff are so nice. It’s got a very calm energy when you arrive.

Their hygienist Irina was so kind and sensitive cleaning my teeth. She instantly put me at ease.

Dr Jane is a great dentist explaining every detail. She truly cares about her patients.

I have already recommended a few people to go there. It’s right at Pape station on the Danforth.

If I could, I would give them 6 stars.

5 stars through and through ! I have been seeing Dr. Jane Halkiotis and her excellent Hygienists at Pape Dental Center for close to 20 years now. With every single visit they welcome me and I leave with the very best care every single time. Not only has this clinic gone out of their way to accomodate me for emergency dental work, but Dr. Jane has also fixed one of my teeth I was extremely insecure about which has held up for years now. She practically fixed my smile perfect ! She is the very best dentist hands down in the Toronto area in my opinion. This place is under rated and deserves 6 stars. Her staff are so kind and pleasant and they really care about you and your health. Even if I moved I would never change dentists. If you want the best care and dental work in GTA Toronto area, go here and see Dr. Jane and her team ! Jess

FAQs about Dental Hygiene for Children

Start brushing your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth appears, typically around six months of age. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a small amount of fluoride toothpaste to gently clean their teeth and establish healthy habits early.

Children should visit the dentist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. Regular visits help monitor their oral health, prevent cavities, and address potential issues early to maintain a healthy smile.

Choose a fluoride toothpaste with a flavor your child likes to encourage brushing. Look for a toothpaste approved by dental associations to ensure it meets safety and effectiveness standards for children.

To prevent cavities, ensure your child brushes twice daily, flosses regularly, and eats a balanced diet low in sugary snacks. Routine dental check-ups and fluoride treatments can also strengthen enamel and protect against decay.

Children should start flossing as soon as their teeth begin to touch, usually around age two to three. Teach them proper flossing techniques or use floss picks to make it easier and more enjoyable.
