Good oral health is essential for both baby and adult teeth. Our childrens dentist can help instill life-long oral habits for a long-lasting and beautiful smile.
Why see a Childrens dentist?
Your child’s well-being is our biggest concern and their oral hygiene is essential to their overall health.
Ideally, your child’s first dental visit is when their first tooth erupts at around six months, so we can establish an ongoing relationship with you and your child to deliver comprehensive care.
Regular dental visits are essential to maintain good oral health. In addition to cleaning their teeth and checking their mouth for signs of dental disease, we will ensure their teeth are growing and developing properly.
We will also administer or recommend specific procedures as they grow from infants into young adults. These treatments may include fluoride application, fissure sealants, orthodontics and wisdom teeth extraction.
Why would I need dental care for children?
Everyone should visit the dentist regularly to check for a range of oral health issues, allowing early intervention when required, which can help maintain a healthy smile.
Children who visit the dentist from an early age grow more confident and comfortable with the experience, helping to avoid any fears that can carry into adulthood. Our dentists are considerate and caring, with experience in paediatric dentistry ensuring your child is always comfortable in the dental chair.
Good oral hygiene, dental care and a proper diet can prevent cavities in children. In addition to monitoring for decay, we can spot early signs of misalignment in the jaw, such as overbites, underbites or crossbites and recommend a course of action.
