Dr. Hina Zaman

Gently, and without an agenda beyond comfort. She lets the child settle into the room, shows them the tools in simple, friendly terms, and does only as much examining as the child is ready for. Parents stay close throughout. The measure of success is a child who leaves happy to come back, because that willingness is what makes every future visit — and a lifetime of dental health — dramatically easier. Any clinical ground not covered simply waits for next time.

She provides both. Alongside her restorative and children's work, Dr. Zaman's comprehensive practice includes root canal treatment for teeth with damaged nerves and extractions — including straightforward wisdom tooth removals — when keeping a tooth no longer makes sense. That means a problem she finds at your checkup can usually be treated by the dentist who found it. For cases that genuinely call for care beyond a general practice, she will say so honestly and help arrange it.

Yes — an examination and imaging will show how they are positioned and whether trouble is likely. Some wisdom teeth come through cleanly and need nothing more than monitoring; others crowd neighbouring teeth, tilt, or become sore and hard to clean. Dr. Zaman assesses which situation your teenager is in and explains the reasoning, and if removal is warranted she can often handle it at Midland Dental Center, with clear preparation and aftercare guidance for both teen and parent.

Very much so. The habits that make her good with children — explaining before doing, moving at the patient's pace, treating trust as part of the treatment — work just as well for adults who tense up in the chair. She will tell you what each step involves, check in as she works, and stop when you need a break. Many of her adult patients first came in as the nervous parent of a perfectly calm child.

Frequently, yes. Because her scope runs from children's checkups to adult restorative work, families often coordinate their visits into a single trip to the practice at Midland and Eglinton, and the front desk is used to arranging exactly that. Flexible scheduling with weekend availability helps around school and work. Where a family member needs care that fits a colleague's interests better, the multi-dentist team means it still happens under the same roof.
