Dental Care For Children

Your child’s formative years are where they learn good dental habits, including attending regular dentist check-ups

Our prevention-minded dentists are great with kids, engaging them to start becoming independent with their dental care. They will quickly identify any problems that threaten their dental development, and act to prevent these from worsening.

Preventive Measures To Protect Your Child’s Teeth

As dental professionals, we want to do everything we can to future-proof your child’s dental health. Some of these actions include:

1. Fluoride applications. Applying painted fluoride to the surface of your child’s teeth can help to remineralise them if they have fallen foul to erosion.
2. Fissure sealants. These are applied to biting surfaces to prevent dental decay.
3. Identifying developing problems. Our dentists will carefully examine your child’s teeth, looking for the smallest signs of decay. They will also study your child’s jaw anatomy to identify any development problems early on (these issues can go on to affect functions like speech when they are not treated early).
4. Encouraging early appointments. We encourage you to bring your child in for a check-up as soon as their first tooth has arrived. These early appointments are crucial for developing their confidence in a new environment, and with a clinical professional they will not have met before. Our dentist will make your child feel safe in their surroundings, and foster a clinical environment based on making things fun and engaging.
