New experiences can overwhelm children, especially in medical or dental settings. They may worry about the various instruments they see and the noises they hear and wonder what’s in store for them.
Fortunately, our children’s dentist in Coffs Harbour understands this. The entire team takes time to get to know your child and introduce them to the sights and sounds of the dental clinic.
Creating a positive dental experience from the start may be necessary for lifelong oral health. Sometimes, adult dental phobia can be linked to a poor dental clinic experience in childhood. We ensure that this does not happen to your child.
About Children’s Dental Care in Coffs Harbour
You should bring your child to our dental clinic at around two years of age. This allows the dentist to see how their teeth erupt and monitor their progress as they grow. By age two, your child is old enough to understand the dentist's role. We can explain what we’re doing in terms they’ll understand, show them the instruments, and offer a fun ride in the dental chair.
As your child grows, we introduce dental services and treatments as needed, including but not limited to:
- Comprehensive dental check-ups
- Professional teeth clean
- Fissure sealants
- Fluoride treatments
- Dental fillings
- Root canal therapy
- Restorative dentistry
- Mouthguards
Your child’s dentist monitors their oral development and discusses all findings with you. We can lay out various treatment options as necessary and help you make an informed decision for your child’s care.
Besides in-office dental care, we can provide tips for at-home oral hygiene and nutritional advice for a healthier smile. Additionally, we are always here if you have questions about children’s dentistry.
