Gentle Care for Growing Teeth
Early dental care is essential in fostering lifelong oral health. Our children’s dentistry services in Mittagong are designed to make every visit positive and stress-free for young patients. With a focus on prevention and education, we aim to keep your child’s teeth healthy while promoting good oral hygiene habits.
Our dental therapists are highly trained and skilled dental clinicians who perform all areas of children’s dentistry. Here at Mittagong Dental Care, we offer a comprehensive range of services to children and their families.
Although our main role involves disease prevention and dental care, our interest is child welfare. As such, we are able to organise referrals to medical and allied health specialists to address the needs that children face early in life.
In addition to children’s dentistry, we offer a range of dental services for the whole family, including general dentistry, dental implants, crowns, bridges, and emergency care. Contact Mittagong Dental Care today at 0449 262 768 to schedule your child’s appointment and give them the foundation for a healthy smile.
Dental Services for Children
Childhood has been identified as the most important period in a person’s ‘dental life’. We have found that even when children have been to the dentist before, they often do not know what to expect when they come to see us. On the first visit, we aim to provide children and parents with information about their dental issues and assess their individual needs. We have many years of experience dedicated to child dental care, both in specialist practice and in education. Services include:
- Dental therapists trained specifically for children’s dentistry
- Examinations
- Cleans and fluoride therapy
- Fillings
- Extractions
- Orthodontic assessment and referrals
- Sports mouth guards
- Dietary advice and prevention
- Oral Hygiene advice and tooth brushing instruction
- Emergencies and toothaches
We accept the new government Children’s Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS or GUS) vouchers.
What to Expect During Your Child's Comprehensive Examination
During the examination, your dentist or dental therapist will check all of your child’s existing teeth for signs of decay, examine your child’s bite, and look for any potential problems with the gums, jaw, and oral tissues. He or she will also educate parents about oral health care basics for children, discuss dental developmental issues, and answer any questions.
Topics Your Dentist May Discuss with Your Children
- Good oral hygiene practices for your child’s teeth and gums and cavity protection
- Fluoride needs
- Oral habits (thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, lip sucking)
- Developmental milestones
- Teething
- Proper Nutrition
- Schedule of dental check up visits. Many dentists like to see children every 6 months to build up the child’s comfort and confidence level in visiting the dentist, to monitor the development of the teeth, and promptly treat any developing problems.
- If dental problems exist, discuss adequate treatment options for your child and schedule a treatment appointment.
It’s important to know that the parent or legal guardian who accompanies the child for this first visit will be asked to complete medical and health information forms concerning the child. Come prepared with the necessary information.
