Why Children’s Dentistry Matters

Early dental visits set the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Regular checkups allow us to monitor your child’s developing teeth and gums, catch potential issues early, and help guide you through proper oral hygiene techniques. By starting dental visits early, we can help your child avoid common dental problems such as cavities, alignment issues and gum disease.

Our Children’s Dentistry Services

We offer a full range of children’s dental services, including but not limited to:
- Routine Checkups & Cleanings: Regular dental exams are important to ensuring your child’s teeth and gums stay healthy as they grow. Our gentle approach to check ups and cleanings makes each visit a stress-free experience
- Oral Health Education for Parents and Children: Teaching kids good habits like proper brushing and flossing is crucial for long-term oral health. Our dentists take the time to show both children and parents how to care for teeth properly and establish a routine that will help prevent cavities and other issues.
- Dietary Advice: Our dentists also discuss with both children and parents the best foods for maintaining healthy teeth and gums and which foods to limit to minimise the risk of cavities
- Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride helps strengthen your child’s teeth, preventing cavities and tooth decay. We offer professional fluoride treatments to give your child’s smile an extra layer of protection.
- Fissure Sealants: Sealants are a great way to protect your child’s back teeth from cavities. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to help prevent decay from forming.
- Emergency Dental Care
- Orthodontic Evaluation: While it’s not always necessary to start orthodontic treatment early, we will assess your child’s bite and teeth development to determine if early intervention is needed for alignment issues.
- Fillings: If your child needs a filling, we use tooth-coloured fillings while making the experience comfortable and not intimidating
- Children’s Crowns: We offer crowns for children’s teeth that may need more protection
- Root Canal Treatment / Nerve treatment: In the event of a very large cavity or tooth infection, nerve treatment may be required to save the baby or adult tooth from extraction.
- Removal of baby or adult teeth: We offer tooth removal of necessary baby or adult teeth either due to large decay, infection or looseness.
