WHAT IS CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY?

Preventive dental care is extremely important in children, especially regarding their teeth. Visiting a dentist as early as six months of age can benefit your child’s future oral health and allow for the early detection of problems. This event commences a positive relationship with your child’s dentist.

Working with them ensures that your child’s first dentist visit is enjoyable. We aim to;

  • Maintain oral health
  • Modify bad habits
  • Teach good oral hygiene routines to prevent dental disease
  • Treat issues as early as possible
