Childrens dentistry is dedicated to the examination and treatment of oral disease, improving oral health and education of children from infancy through to 18 years of age. We have an experienced dental therapist (Emma) who cares for your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood.
Children begin to get their baby teeth during the first 6 months of life. By age 6 or 7 years, they start to lose their first set of teeth, which eventually are replaced by secondary, permanent teeth. Without proper dental care, children face possible dental decay and disease that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications.
Is is essential for children to have a fun and positive experience during their first visits to the dentist otherwise future dental visits and treatment can be very difficult. Early intervention and treatment can ensure your child has a lifetime of good oral health.
Why should my children see the dental therapist and not the dentist?
