Why Children’s Dental Care Matters
Primary teeth play a critiacl role in many areas, such as speech development, proper nutrition, self esteem, and guidance for permanent teeth to grow into the correct position. Early intervention can:
- Help to prevent tooth decay and cavities
- Find potential oral health issues early
- Build healthy habits that last a lifetime
- Reduce dental anxiety later in life
- Support tooth and bone development
Seeing a dentist who is experienced and educated on treating children is the first step to ensuring that your child’s smile stays healthy.
Our Children’s Dental Services
Regular dental visits should start as soon as teeth are visible in a child’s mouth. This allows us to monitor growth, provide education on how to keep teeth and gums healthy, and detect issues early.
Professional dental cleanings by a registered dental hygienist remove plaque and tartar adn provide education and instruction to help teach children about proper brushing and flossing.
Fluoride treatments can help to strengthen enamel and protect against decay in vulnerable areas.
Sometimes your dentist may recommend to seal the pits and grooves in your child’s back teeth in order to protect them from decay.
When cavities are detected, we use gentle techniques to restore the teeth using white filling material that blends in with the natural tooth colour.
It is important to monitor spacing, tooth alignment, and jaw development. Early intervention is best when orthodontic treatment is indicated.
At Bayview Smile Centre, we know that emergencies can happen. From toothaches to trauma, we can provide gentle emergency care when your child needs it the most.
