General Children Dentistry
General Children dentistry is our passion and preventive dental treatments for kids is our focus at Northern Beaches Children’s Dentistry and Park St Dental Practice in Mona Vale. A child’s first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable. Children are not born with a natural fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. Our practice makes a special effort to use pleasant, non-frightening, simple words to describe each treatment. We want you and your child to feel loved from the moment you reach our practice.
Our focus at Northern Beaches Children’s Dentistry in Mona Vale is on preventive dentistry to develop a healthy and caries free dentition and oral environment. Adopting healthy oral hygiene habit and diet is among our basic goals at our child friendly and modern practice in Mona Vale.
Brushing
Brushing can be fun, and your child teeth should be cleaned well as soon as the first tooth arrives. When a baby’s tooth erupts, parents should brush the tooth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. For children younger than six years of age, direct supervision and help of parents during the brushing is a must. Good oral hygiene and regular brushing habit should be established from a very young age and we can help the parents how to do it at child’s first or regular dental visits at Northern Beaches Children’s Dentistry.
Regular Check-ups
Regular check- ups are part of General Children’s Dentistry which is offered at Northern Beaches Children’s Dentistry. Tooth caries or decay is caused by sugars left in the mouth that turn into an acid, which can break down the teeth structure. Children are at high risk for tooth decay for a simple reason: many children and adolescents do not practice regular, good oral hygiene habits and most of them eat and drink lots of sugary snacks. Proper brushing and flossing, low sugar diet combined with regular dental visits help keep tooth decay away.
Your child should visit the dentist every six months for a regular dental check-up and cleaning. We, at Northern Beaches Children’s Dentistry, recommend fluoride treatments twice a year along with cleaning to keep the teeth strong. Tooth sealants are also recommended, as they “seal” the deep grooves in your child’s teeth, preventing decay from forming in these hard-to-reach areas. Sealants last for several years but will be monitored at your child’s regular checkups. We at Park St Dental Practice in Mona Vale believe in a preventive and conservative way toward children’s dentistry.
