Children’s dentistry in Bondi Junction, NSW, sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy habits and smile comfort. By ingraining the importance of oral care early, we help instil good habits that may last a lifetime.
We believe good choices are foundational, so we like to see children near the first birthday or when you notice a tooth emerging from the gums. Of course, if you have concerns before that time, never hesitate to book a check-up with our dental team.
Foundational Dentistry: Your Child’s First Dental Visit
The first dental visit has two aims. First, we want to establish a trusting relationship with your child from the start. Next, we want to monitor their oral health and development as they age, intervening when issues arise.
Our child-friendly team helps make each appointment enjoyable for your child, and we speak in age-appropriate terms to address their curiosity and wonder.
At the first visits, we’ll count teeth, check jaw development, answer your questions, and advise you on your child’s ongoing dental health. Tips may be nutritional or related to feeding and oral care.
It’s vital to maintain baby teeth until they loosen naturally. These teeth aid in development and hold space for proper adult tooth eruption.
3 Key Benefits of Paediatric Dentistry
- Dental Anxiety — Relationship building early is essential and may lower dental phobia risks.
- Dental Health Matters — Your child’s oral health and function contribute to overall wellness and well-being.
- Intervention — Regular dental care allows the dentist to intervene early when oral health issues arise.
About Paediatric Dental Care in Bondi Junction, NSW
We provide the treatments and services your child needs to achieve and maintain excellent dental health, including fast care during dental emergencies.
