FAQs

Why is Regular Dental Care for Children Important?

Dental care is essential for children. This helps to ensure their teeth and gums stay healthy and free of cavities and other dental problems. It can help identify potential oral health issues early. During regular checkups, a dentist can check for cavities, gum disease, and other issues, such as misaligned teeth.

What Types of Treatments are Available for Children?

Treatment options vary depending on age and individual needs. Common treatments include fillings, stainless steel crowns, fissure sealants, pulpotomies, pulpectomies, and extractions. Our gentle dentist or oral health therapist can assess a child’s individual needs and determine the best course of treatment.

What Should I Expect During a Dental Visit for My Child?

If required, your child’s first visit may start with just a dental chair ride and counting their teeth. This helps your child develop confidence, so they start accepting the dental atmosphere with a positive attitude. At the same or subsequent visit, our dentist or oral health therapist will assess the child’s teeth, gums, and overall oral health during a dental visit. X-rays may be taken to check for any underlying issues. The dentist or oral health therapist will then discuss any issues and recommend a course of action. A cleaning may also be performed to remove plaque and tartar buildup for long-term gum health.
