At le tooth, we believe that a child鈥檚 early experiences at the dentist shape their relationship with oral health for the rest of their lives. Both our Ascot dentists and West End dentists combine clinical and behavioural expertise to ensure that every child's visit is as calm as it is thorough.
We have designed our Brisbane dental clinics to be places where children feel safe and curious, not intimidated.
Especially for children visiting us for the very first time, we focus on building trust through positive reinforcement and gentle explanation. We take the mystery out of the dental chair, turning a check-up into a reassuring, educational adventure.
It is a common misconception that baby teeth "don't matter" because they eventually fall out anyway. Healthy baby teeth are essential for a child's development, by facilitating:
When it comes to children's dentistry, our primary focus is around preventative care.
Routine check-up and cleans are just as important for kids as for adults. By preventing decay and gum disease before they cause discomfort or long-term damage, we can help keep your child's development on track.
During your child's check-up and clean, we gently remove tartar and plaque from their teeth using ultrasonic and polishing techniques, with particular focus on any areas that have been missed by regular brushing. We also proactively apply protective treatments such as fluoride and fissure sealants where necessary to stop decay in its tracks.
Our friendly Brisbane dentists also use these visits to teach your children correct brushing and flossing techniques, empowering them to take charge of their own dental care for the long-term.
Beyond dental hygiene, we monitor the 'biological clock' of your child's mouth. We track the eruption and loss of baby teeth to ensure your child's dental development is occurring at the appropriate rate. Whether a baby tooth is staying in too long or an adult tooth is slow to appear, early detection allows us to manage the space effectively.
Simultaneously, we monitor your child's teeth for signs of malocclusion, or bite issues. By identifying these problems early, we can refer you to a specialist orthodontist in Brisbane at the right time to ensure the best long-term results for your child's smile into adulthood.
