Our Paediatric Dental Services
Preventive Care
-
Regular Check-Ups: We recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit around the time their first tooth emerges, typically at six months old. Early visits help familiarise your child with the dental environment and allow us to provide guidance on oral hygiene and diet.
-
Oral Hygiene Education: We teach both parents and children effective brushing and flossing techniques, emphasising the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene habits at home.
-
Dietary Advice: Our team provides personalised dietary recommendations to help prevent tooth decay, including tips on reducing sugary snacks and drinks.
Protective Treatments
-
Fluoride Varnish: Applying fluoride varnish strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities.
-
Fissure Sealants: We apply a protective coating to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves, reducing the risk of decay.
Restorative Treatments
-
Fillings and Crowns: If your child has cavities, we offer tooth-coloured fillings and crowns to restore the tooth's function and appearance.
-
Pulp Therapy: For severely decayed or infected teeth, we provide pulp therapy to save the tooth and maintain its function.
Orthodontic Assessments
-
Early Evaluations: We assess your child's developing teeth and jaws to identify any potential orthodontic issues early on, allowing for timely intervention if necessary.
Sedation Options
-
Inhalation Sedation (Happy Air): For anxious children, we offer inhalation sedation to help them feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures.
Tips for Parents
-
Model Good Oral Hygiene: Children often mimic their parents' behaviours. Demonstrating proper brushing and flossing techniques can encourage your child to adopt these habits.
-
Limit Sugary Foods and Drinks: Reducing your child's intake of sugary snacks and beverages can significantly decrease the risk of tooth decay.
-
Encourage Regular Dental Visits: Regular check-ups help monitor your child's oral health and reinforce the importance of dental care.
