What is Kids Dentistry?
Kids dentistry, also known as paediatric dentistry, is a specialised branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years. Paediatric dentists undergo additional training to cater to the unique dental needs of children, including examining and treating their teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as educating them about proper oral hygiene habits.
What to Expect at Your Child’s First Visit
At Coolamon Dental Centre, we understand that the first dental visit can be intimidating for both children and parents. Rest assured, our kids dentists are skilled in creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. During your child’s first visit, we will:
- Conduct a thorough examination of their teeth, gums, and mouth.
- Evaluate their oral hygiene and offer guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques.
- Check for early signs of tooth decay or other dental issues.
- Discuss any concerns you may have as a parent and address them accordingly.
- Create a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimal oral health.
