Children should see the dentist regularly to prevent oral health complications that can be painful and put their teeth and gums at risk. In this capacity, they are no different from adults.
Our children’s dentist in Oatley will create a prevention schedule for your child that addresses their needs. Most children should see the dentist once or twice yearly for some or all of the following:
- Dental checks
- Dental cleans
- Fissure sealants
- Fluoride treatments
- Space maintainers
- Mouthguards
- Periodic x-rays
The dentist also monitors development by comparing oral health changes since the last visit. Additionally, the dentist will talk to you about findings and may provide tips and advice for at-home brushing or enhanced nutrition.
Early detection means easier dental care for your child!
About General Dentistry for Kids
General dentistry is about maintenance. Ideally, if your child visits the dentist regularly for prevention, they’ll require less maintenance, which includes treatments like:
- Dental fillings
- Dental restorations
- Emergency toothache care
