Kids Dentistry
How We Care For Your Child
When it comes to kids dentistry, our dentists know that first impressions really do count. Any negative outcomes a child experiences can have a long-lasting impact as they progress into adulthood.
For this reason, we do everything we can to ensure the youngest member of your family leaves every dental visit with a positive impression. In other words, we want your children to stay with our dentist for life!
Our brand of Paediatric Dentistry
Children’s dentistry – Your child’s first dental visit
Children should have their first dental visit within 6 months of their first teeth appearing and every 6-12 months after that. Typically, the first visit is just to ensure any visible teeth are healthy. Pediatric dentistry also extends to educating parents on proper gum and tooth care.
Our dentist will also demonstrate good brushing techniques and give you the opportunity to ask any questions about how best to care for your child’s oral health, both now and in the coming years.
Kids Dentistry – Other dental services and treatments
In addition to first dental practice visits, our kids dentistry services also extends to a range of other dental treatments and services including:
