CHILDREN'S DENTISTRY
Preventive care, gentle treatments, and specialist support to help children develop healthy smiles for life.
Prevention is Key
As dental professionals we believe in preventative dental care and encourage our patients to bring their children to the practice from an early age. Regular check-ups from a young age will ensure children won't suffer from untreated dental decay with devastating effects to their growing dentition.
Stop Dental Decay
Fluoride applications are a safe and effective way to safeguard your growing child's teeth from developing decay. The fluoride is painted onto the surface of the child's teeth and this helps to mineralise the teeth. Fissure sealants are tooth coloured and applied to biting surfaces of teeth to prevent decay.
Start Young
Studies have shown that the younger the age that you bring your child to the dental practice, even if just for a check-up, the more likely they are to have a positive experience and grow up not to be afraid of the dentist. Our team will take special care of your child to make them feel safe and cared for.
Prevention is always better than cure
Treating a child from an early age also allows the dentist to spot early signs of underbites, cross bites or overbites developing. As with most things, the sooner you can start to treat it, the quicker it can be resolved.
Laser dentistry
Laser dentistry is transforming the way dental visits look for both children and adults. This gentler treatment is less intimidating and more enjoyable for young patients, fostering a life-long mindset about oral care.
Dental lasers utilize the power of water and laser energy to deliver effective, precise treatment solutions. It's quicker, takes little-to-no anesthesia and keeps away fear and anxieties associated with dental visits.
The most common applications include
- caries detection and removal
- pulp therapy
- tooth hypersensitivity
- gum disease
Laser treatments cause minimal side effects with very little recovery time and less risk of infection, swelling, inflammation.
