The best way to help kids love visiting the dentist is to take them!

It makes sense, but many people don’t realise just how beneficial starting oral hygiene early is to a child’s long term experience of the dentist, not to mention the long term health benefits. Early visits build confidence and become accepted as normal, rather than being something to fear.

We see children of all ages. What we find works best with dentistry for kids is starting visits when they’re old enough to understand what seeing the dentist is about.

We use this as an opportunity educate and raise awareness about key topics like:

• How to brush teeth
• How to floss properly
• Why a healthy diet is important for oral health
• The impact of thumb or finger sucking on teeth alignment
• Speech problems and developmental delays that arise from incorrect teeth alignment
• How teeth assist with jaw development in children

Many of our team have small children and understand the challenges of getting kids to look after their teeth. If you find it tough to get your kids on board, a third party, like a caring dentist can help make your job easier.

In some instances, your child may need fissure sealants to prevent decay of teeth. A fissure sealant is a protective layer that protects the tooth from decay occurring in the natural grooves on the tooth.

We have worked with many Gold Coast families providing dentistry for generations of kids, helping them take good care of their teeth. Why not make yours one of them?
