We want to make sure that your child has healthy teeth and gums, and that they start off on the right foot when it comes to oral health. Our paediatric dentists are experienced in working with children, and they will make sure that your child feels comfortable during their appointment. We offer a variety of paediatric dental services, including preventive care, restorative care, and cosmetic dentistry. Schedule an appointment today to see how we can help your child!
Types of paediatric dental services we offer:
1. Exams and Cleanings:
Our team will check for signs of tooth decay or other issues that may affect your child’s oral health. We also offer preventive cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup and help protect your child’s teeth from decay.
2. Fillings and Sealants:
If your child has a cavity, our team can provide a dental filling to restore the affected tooth. We also offer sealants, which are thin coatings that shield the back teeth from decay-causing bacteria.
3. Emergency Care:
If your child experiences a dental emergency, our team is here to help. We provide same-day emergency care for children of all ages and can help address any urgent issues or painful symptoms.
4. Orthodontic Treatment:
Our paediatric dentists are experienced in providing orthodontic treatments such as braces, retainers, and other corrective appliances. We’ll work with your child to create a personalised treatment plan that meets their needs and helps them achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
5. Sedation Dentistry:
Our team offers several types of sedation dentistry for young patients who may be fearful or nervous about dental care. We will work closely with you to find the best solution and ensure a comfortable experience for your child.
6. Nutrition Counselling:
Eating healthy is important for overall health, including oral health. Our team can provide nutrition counseling to help your child make smart decisions about food choices and maintain a healthy smile.
7. Fluoride Treatments:
Fluoride is an important mineral that helps strengthen the enamel of your child’s teeth and protect them from decay. We offer fluoride treatments to help boost your child’s oral health.
8. Root Canals:
If a tooth becomes severely damaged, we may need to perform a root canal procedure to save it from extraction. Our team is experienced in performing root canals for young patients and will make sure your child is comfortable throughout the entire process.
9. Extractions:
In some cases, we may need to extract a tooth if it has become severely damaged or decayed. We use gentle techniques to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for your child.
10. Mouthguards:
We can provide custom-made mouthguards to protect your child’s teeth while playing sports or participating in other activities.
What to expect at the first paediatric dental appointment
At the first paediatric dental appointment, we will review your child’s medical and dental history. We may also perform a physical examination to check for any signs of oral health issues such as cavities or gum disease. The dentist may take X-rays to identify potential problems that are not visible during a physical exam.
