Children Dentistry

At Doncaster Dental, we believe that healthy smiles begin early. Our team of children’s dentists are committed to providing gentle and compassionate care for your kids. We create a positive and fun environment where children from Doncaster, Templestowe, Balwyn North & surrounds feel safe and excited about their dental visits.

Your Child’s First Dental Visit

We recommend that children have their first dental check-up around the age of one. This early visit allows our dentists to:

1. Monitor Development: We assess how your child’s baby teeth are developing and identify any potential issues.
2. Spot Early Problems: Detecting dental issues early helps prevent complications and ensures proper oral health.
3. Educate and Build Trust: Our team establishes rapport with your child, showing them that dentistry is nothing to fear. This foundation of trust sets the stage for a lifetime of positive dental experiences.

Why Baby Teeth Matter

Baby teeth play a crucial role in your child’s oral health:

1. Space Holders: They maintain space for permanent teeth, ensuring they emerge correctly.
2. Cavity Risk: Baby teeth are softer and more prone to cavities. Regular check-ups help us catch decay early.
3. Alignment: Losing a baby tooth prematurely can lead to alignment issues when permanent teeth come in.

Our Children’s Dental Services

Our skilled oral health therapist supports your child through every stage of dental development:

1. Dental Checks and Diagnoses: Regular assessments to monitor growth and address any concerns.
2. X-rays: When needed, we take x-rays of teeth and jaws for a comprehensive view.
3. Dental Care Plans: Tailored plans to maintain optimal oral health.
4. Restorations: We restore cavities with gentle tooth fillings.
5. Extractions: If necessary, we extract baby teeth under local anesthesia.
6. Oral Health Education: We educate children on proper oral hygiene and nutrition.
