Waterdown Kids Dentistry
Gentle, specialist pediatric care for children up to age 12, right here in Waterdown. Led by Dr. John Mansour.
Waterdown Kids Dentistry opens at 105 Clappison Avenue this September, and we're booking first visits now. If you've been driving to Burlington, Hamilton, or Oakville to find a dental home built for children, that drive is over. Every family who joins us before opening becomes a founding family, and we take that personally.
Reserve a spot on our opening scheduleMost children never need it. For those who do, it changes everything. General anaesthesia is performed at Panacea Surgical Centre, a licensed surgical facility one floor above our office, not at a hospital months from now, and not across the city.
If your child has been placed on a hospital waiting list for dental treatment under anaesthetic, talk to us. Every filling, crown, and extraction completed in one appointment, with your child asleep and comfortable, and home the same day.
Everything here, the room sizes, the lighting, the language we use, the length of a first appointment, was designed around how children actually experience a dental visit.
From a baby's first tooth right through to age 12, we make each appointment gentle, unhurried, and genuinely positive, so healthy habits start early and stay for life. Parents are always welcome in the treatment room.

Dr. Mansour founded Waterdown Kids Dentistry on a simple belief: every child deserves a dental experience that is gentle, positive, and even a little fun. He focuses entirely on children's dentistry, not as one service among many, but as his whole practice.
Known to his patients as "Dr. John," he is a pediatric dentist on staff at McMaster Children's Hospital. A graduate of the University of Detroit Mercy's BS/DDS program, he completed his specialty training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, where he served as Chief Resident. He pairs his clinical expertise with a strong background in dental risk management and pediatric sedation, keeping safety above all else.
Dr. John finds his greatest reward in helping children overcome dental anxiety, and as an advocate for accessible care he regularly travels to remote regions to treat underserved children. Outside the office, he cherishes time with his wife and their twins.
A few of the things families most want to know before their first visit.
