Give Your Child a Pleasant Dental Experience with Our Children's Dentistry

FAQ's About Children’s Dentistry

Your child’s dental health is important to set him up to have healthy teeth and gums when he grows up.
Most babies will start to get their primary teeth between 6 and 12 months old. However, it is not unusual for teeth to start erupting earlier or later than this. If your baby’s teeth have not started to come through by the time they are 18 months old, bring him to a dentist for a consultation. At around 6 years of age, your child’s permanent teeth, specifically the lower molars, will start to erupt.
Baby’s teeth need special care because they play an essential role in the child’s development. They help children eat and chew properly, which leads to better digestion and health. They also play an essential role in speech development, allowing children to articulate better. Lastly, baby teeth are space savers for permanent teeth. Failure to maintain and clean them may lead to tooth decay or gum disease, which may necessitate extraction. This can adversely affect the timing and the space available for the eruption of the permanent teeth leading to misaligned teeth.

Cleaning your child’s teeth reduces the risk of tooth decay and other dental problems. When brushing their teeth, use a soft-bristled toothbrush. A small-headed brush is often best for toddlers, as this helps to reach those hard-to-reach back teeth. As children get older, they can graduate to a standard-sized brush. When it comes to toothpaste, use only a smear, or as recommended by your dentist. The amount can be increased as your child gets older.

To clean the upper teeth, use gentle circular motions and to clean the lower teeth, use back and forth motions. Be sure to brush the tongue as well. You should brush your child’s teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. As he grows older, teach your child to brush their teeth on their own but do not leave them unsupervised until you’re sure that they can do it properly by themselves.

A children’s dentist has more experience providing dental treatment for young patients than general dentists. They go through additional extensive training in dealing with the unique dental needs of children, including those with special health care needs. They’re familiar with common childhood fears and can help put your child at ease during their appointment. In addition, a clinic that offers children’s dentistry services usually has kid-friendly offices, making the experience more enjoyable for children. In bringing your child to a children’s dentist, your child is likely to have a positive experience and receive the high-quality dental care they need and deserve.
A dental check-up every six months should be sufficient for most healthy children. This should begin after the eruption of their first tooth. More frequent visits may be necessary if your child has existing dental problems or is at increased risk for dental decay.
Dental x-ray is an essential tool dentists use to help diagnose and treat dental problems, and they are very safe for patients, including children. The radiation exposure from a dental x-ray is even less than that of a chest x-ray, especially if it is a digital dental x-ray. Aside from this, dentists provide safeguards such as a lead apron and thyroid shields worn by the patient to further reduce exposure. Because of these, parents can rest assured that their children are safe when they undergo dental x-rays.

Tooth decay, whether in children or adults, is caused by the bacteria that is in plaque. The bacteria in plaque feed on sugar and carbohydrates from food. As they metabolize these, the bacteria produce acids that cause tooth decay.

If a child frequently eats food high in sugar, like candies, biscuits, or even formula milk, and cannot remove plaque afterward, their teeth are more prone to tooth decay. A child’s teeth are more prone to tooth decay because their teeth are less-resistant to bacterial acid attacks. Once the decay begins, it can progress quickly and cause pain faster because their teeth are small, and the bacteria can reach the nerve inside the tooth easier. For this reason, it is very important to brush their teeth well at least twice a day and also to watch their diet.

Dental emergencies can be a cause of panic and stress. It is recommended that you manage what you can at home while you make an appointment with your children’s dentist. If your child is dealing with a dental emergency, you may contact Byford Smiles at 08 9532 0247. Our lines are open 24/7 and we have a dental team ready to offer assistance.
