General Dentistry
At Dental on King, located in the vibrant heart of Newtown, we believe that establishing good oral health habits early is crucial for your child’s overall well-being. Our dedicated team specialises in children’s dentistry, providing a friendly and comfortable environment to ensure that every dental visit is a positive and enjoyable experience for your little ones.
Why Early Dental Care is Important
Starting dental check-ups as soon as your child gets their first teeth sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Early interventions can prevent future dental issues, ensuring that your child’s baby teeth and emerging adult teeth develop correctly.
Benefits of Early Dental Visits
- Prevention of Tooth Decay: Regular check-ups help in identifying and addressing cavities before they become severe.
- Proper Teeth and Jaw Development: Monitoring growth ensures that any orthodontic needs are addressed timely.
- Building Positive Dental Experiences: Early visits reduce dental anxiety, making your child comfortable with dental care routines.
During your child’s oral health assessment, our experienced dentists conduct thorough examinations to ensure that both baby teeth and adult teeth are developing properly. We use gentle techniques and child-friendly equipment to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
Our primary focus is on prevention to maintain your child’s healthy smile for life. We offer a range of preventative treatments, including:
- Dental Sealants: Protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent plaque build-up and cavities.
- Fluoride Treatments: Strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay.
- Orthodontic Guidance: Early interventions to guide the development of your child’s teeth and jaw, reducing the need for extensive orthodontic work later on.
If your child requires restorative dental care, we provide:
- Fillings: Treating cavities with tooth-coloured materials to restore the function and appearance of decayed teeth.
- Extractions: Safe removal of teeth that are severely damaged or causing alignment issues, ensuring minimal discomfort through the use of local anaesthesia and sedation options if needed.
Dental emergencies can happen at any time. Our clinic offers prompt and compassionate care for unexpected dental issues, ensuring your child receives the necessary treatment without delay.
During your oral health assessment, our experienced dentists will take x-rays to determine the extent of the tooth damage and assess whether tooth-coloured fillings are the appropriate treatment.
The affected tooth is carefully isolated to ensure a sterile environment. The decayed or damaged area is then removed, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
The cavity is thoroughly disinfected to eliminate all traces of bacteria, ensuring a clean and healthy restoration.
A bonding agent is applied to the prepared tooth, enhancing the adhesion of the composite resin to the tooth structure.
The composite resin is meticulously layered and shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth, ensuring a seamless fit.
A special curing light hardens the filling, followed by a polishing process to achieve a smooth and natural finish.
We understand that visiting the dentist can be intimidating for children. Our approach is centred around making your child feel safe and relaxed during their appointments. Here’s how we achieve this:
- Child-Friendly Environment: Our clinic is designed to be welcoming and engaging for children, featuring colourful décor and interactive elements.
- Gentle Techniques: Our dentists use gentle and effective methods to ensure your child’s comfort throughout their visit.
- Education and Encouragement: We educate both children and parents on the importance of oral hygiene, empowering your family to maintain healthy smiles together.
For children who require dentures, whether partial or full, proper care is essential to ensure their longevity and comfort:
- Daily Cleaning: Brush dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner to remove plaque and food particles.
- Soaking Overnight: Soak dentures in a cleaning solution overnight to keep them moist and maintain their shape.
- Regular Check-Ups: Schedule routine appointments to monitor the fit and condition of dentures, making adjustments as necessary.
