Children require specific attention when dealing with dental hygiene and treatment, so it is best to use paediatric dentists who have had sufficient experience with children.
The experience can change a child's perception of the dentist, and if the experience is bad, it can induce fear of returning and have a negative impact on their willingness to apply correct oral hygiene.
Striking Smile strive to provide the best paediatric dentistry in Sydney. Doctor Jane Doe and her friendly staff are experts in paediatric dental care and can ensure that your children are given the time and care they need to make every experience a positive one.
Regular examinations and x-rays will be made at every stage of the child's development. This ensures that dental conditions can be detected at the earliest stages and an appropriate treatment can be applied.
By preventing the problem before it becomes apparent can save the child from pain or suffering at a later stage and there is more chance that the problem will be prevented.
Doctor Jane Doe has identified the following helpful hints to improve your children's dental hygiene.
It is very important to understand that children tend to adopt the behaviours which they see in their parents, siblings and carers, so it is extremely important that you are able to demonstrate good oral hygiene at all times. Encourage your entire family to do the same!
Children should be taken to see a paediatric dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings, but Striking Smile has noted some important ages when paediatric dentistry is most important:
At no later than three, the child should be brought in for their first paediatric dental examination. This will introduce children to dentistry and the importance of oral hygiene. Because children are easily impressionable, it is important that you use a dentist who is good with children and can create a positive experience. Their perception of dentistry and oral hygiene at this age can remain with them for the rest of their life, so use paediatric dentists who care - use Striking Smile.
Consultations are required once a year from this age forward for check-ups and cleanings.
As adult teeth begin to form in the jaw, it is important that a paediatric dentist examine your child's jaw and mouth to identify problem areas. If it appears that the child will experience crooked or crowded teeth, then orthodontic referral may be needed.
X-rays will be taken of the mouth as the adult teeth begin to emerge. This will allow the paediatric dentist to monitor the development of teeth and gums.
Once the adult teeth have developed and are sitting comfortably in the mouth, a sealant will be applied to protect the teeth from infection.
From this point forward, regular check-ups and cleanings will be required. Consult your dentist for a time-frame of how often your child's teeth should be examined. Depending on the condition of the child's teeth, paediatric dental examination may be required from every 3 to 12 months.
If your child suffers from cracked or broken teeth for any reason, it is important that paediatric dental treatment is sought after immediately.
If the child's teeth are cracked or broken, the tooth nerves may be exposed and are prone to becoming infected. If infected, the tooth may die or spread infection throughout the mouth.
A root canal is the most common treatment. This allows the paediatric dentist to extract the nerve pulp from inside the tooth and fill it with a clean composite. This saves the tooth from dying, provides added strength and creates an aesthetically-pleasing solution.
Striking Smile strongly encourages adults to insist children of all ages wear protective mouth-guards when they participate in sport or other physical activities. This small piece of plastic can provide enough support to save your child from painful and expensive paediatric dental treatment and damage which can be permanent. Contact Striking Smile to have a mouth-guard custom fit. Custom mouth-guards are comfortable and can be chosen from a range of exciting colours, increasing the chances that children will actually wear them.
