Preventative Dental Care & Intervention
Family and children's dentistry focuses on preventive care, early intervention, and creating a positive dental experience for young patients.
- Preventive Care: Regular check-ups and cleanings are essential in maintaining healthy teeth for children. Preventive care includes fluoride treatments, dental sealants and education on proper brushing and flossing techniques to help prevent cavities and promote strong teeth.
- Early Dental Visits: It’s recommended that children have their first dental visit by age one, or when their first tooth erupts. These early visits are vital in monitoring oral development, identifying potential issues early and familiarising children with the dentist's practice in a friendly, non-threatening way.
- Paediatric Fillings: When cavities form, fillings are necessary to restore the tooth’s health and function. We offer tooth-coloured fillings for a natural look and ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible, using child-friendly techniques to make the experience stress-free.
- Orthodontic Monitoring: We provide early orthodontic evaluations to detect any potential misalignment issues in your child’s teeth and jaw. Early intervention can help prevent more serious issues later on and can reduce the need for extensive treatments.
- Dental Education and Support:
We believe in educating both children and parents on the importance of maintaining good oral health. Our team provides tips on brushing, flossing, diet, and the impact of oral health on overall well-being, ensuring the entire family understands how to take care of their teeth properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child have their first dental visit?
It’s recommended that your child visit the dentist by the age of one, or as soon as their first tooth appears. Early visits are key to monitoring your child’s dental development, preventing potential problems, and helping them get used to the dentist in a relaxed and friendly environment. This first visit can set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy dental habits.
Are dental treatments for children safe?
Yes, dental treatments for children are both safe and carefully tailored to their needs. Dentists use child-friendly techniques, non-invasive procedures, and materials that are safe for young patients. We aim to make each visit as comfortable as possible, using gentle approaches to ensure that children feel at ease throughout their treatment.
How can I help my child maintain good oral hygiene at home?
Teaching children proper oral hygiene habits early is crucial for preventing dental issues. Encourage regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste from an early age and help them floss once they’re able. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and make dental visits a routine part of their healthcare to ensure their teeth stay healthy and strong.
