What is Children’s Dentistry?
Children have different oral health needs to adults as treatments are largely focused on prevention through using procedures such as dental sealants, mouthguards and fluoride treatments. Our friendly and caring dentists treat children extremely gently and aim to make sure every visit is as enjoyable as possible. We want all our young patients to enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles though ensuring they grow up knowing how best to care for their teeth and gums.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”” parallax_background=”” parallax_type=”” video_background=”” video_link=”” overlay=”” overlay_color=”#ffffff” i_select=”” icon=”” i_bg_color=”#ffffff” i_color=”#21c2f8″ a_select=”” a_bg_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column width=”1/1″ animation=””][vc_single_image image=”481″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”276 × 36″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”” parallax_background=”” parallax_type=”” video_background=”” video_link=”” overlay=”” overlay_color=”#ffffff” i_select=”” icon=”” i_bg_color=”#ffffff” i_color=”#21c2f8″ a_select=”” a_bg_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column width=”1/2″ animation=””][vc_column_text]How Can Preventative Dentistry Help My Child?

Milk or primary teeth are very important, even though they are only in place for a few years. They help your child learn to speak clearly so they can communicate with others and enable them to eat a wide variety of foods that provide the nutrition required for growth and development. They have another important function as milk teeth hold open the correct amount of space for the adult teeth to erupt properly. We can treat cavities in milk teeth and will always do everything possible to save these teeth until they are ready to be shed naturally as the adult teeth begin to erupt.
