Children’s Dentistry at Woonona Dental
Just as it’s essential to take your child to the paediatrician for regular checks and physicals, it’s likewise important to take your child to see the dentist, starting from when they begin to get their first teeth. By familiarising your child with the dentist from a young age, they can know what to expect with routine dental care.
Creating a Lifetime of Smiles
By seeing your child from an early age, at Woonona Dental we’re able to familiarise them with the dental care environment and help them feel at ease when it’s time for a checkup. Plus, we can screen for potential oral health concerns, so that they can be addressed at an earlier and more affordable stage.
Topics We Can Address
Patient education is a big part of what we do. We educate both you and your child about the importance of the following:
- Proper oral hygiene during pregnancy for you and your developing baby
- Caring for baby teeth to foster good habits and to protect secondary teeth
- Bringing in your child for an initial visit and maintaining a proper oral hygiene schedule to prevent tooth decay from occurring in the first place
- Addressing tooth decay, even in baby teeth
- Maintaining the space for a permanent tooth by maintaining space when a baby tooth falls out prematurely
- Correcting any chipped or broken teeth
- How to have a pain-free, no-stress dental experience that will keep your child comfortable and relaxed
