Early Dental Care: Importance for Children

It is of the utmost importance that good oral hygiene practices are established early on in your child’s life as this will play a major role in their dental health for the rest of their life. We will help you at every stage of development to ensure your child receives the best start to a lifelong brilliant smile. Our dentists recommend that your child’s initial visit be when they are around two years old. Regular visits to the dentist allow our children’s dentist to diagnose any problems while affording your child the opportunity to develop proper dentition.

What to Expect at Your Child's First Dental Visit

Your child’s first dental visit should be a positive, non-threatening experience. We offer a gentle introduction to the dental environment, dental chair and their dentist. Our aim is to make both parent and child totally at ease. The first check-up involves a brief ride in the dental chair and a very gentle oral examination. Our dentist will examine your child’s teeth, gums, soft tissues, jaw development and bite. We invite all your questions about children’s dental care or about your child’s oral health. Our team is more than happy to provide you with all the information you seek.

Children's Orthodontics in Ballarat

We have provided optimal oral development for many children of Ballarat and surrounds. Functional orthodontics work particularly well when your child is still growing. As such, we believe that the initial consultation with an orthodontist should be at around seven/eight years of age. If needed, you will be referred to a specialist Orthodontist.
