CHILDREN'S dentistry

Children’s Dentistry aims to leave your child with a minimum of dentistry in the future and an established lifetime habit of preventive dentistry.

Caring for your child’s teeth
A child’s baby or primary teeth are of great importance. Baby teeth can help pave the way for secondary teeth, enhance speaking ability and chewing function. It is essential to begin caring for your child’s teeth from an early age. You can start caring for your child’s teeth as soon as they start to come through the gums. This will generally be around 6 to 9 months of age. Begin cleaning your child’s teeth with a soft, damp cloth to wipe gently over their teeth. You can start to introduce a children’s toothbrush as soon as you feel your child will accept it.

Your child’s first visit
From the age of 3 we encourage children to attend our practice for a brief visit to become familiar with the dental environment. Your child gets a ride in the dental chair; we count their teeth and have some fun with the dental camera. They will receive a reward for their co operation and we will encourage them to brush and come see us again in six months. The happy, friendly staff at Millennium Dental will make your child feel right at home. We can even make dental appointments fun!

Our aim for your chid
Our aim is to achieve the following five outcomes for your child by the age of 16:

1. Your child has all their permanent teeth present
2. All the teeth are in the correct place
3. The supporting tissues are healthy
4. All the back teeth are fissure sealed
5. All the teeth are decay free and restored

We look forward to helping you give your child dental health, a gift they will enjoy for the rest of their life.
