Children's Dentistry
Let us work with you so your child's oral health thrives
At Country Care Dental, we understand that a child’s dental health is crucial for their overall well-being. Our dedicated team of dental professionals is committed to providing exceptional care tailored specifically for young smiles.
Why is Children's Dentistry Important?
From the moment your child’s first tooth appears, their dental health journey begins. Early dental visits are vital in establishing good oral hygiene habits and preventing future dental issues. Children’s dentistry focuses on the unique dental needs of infants, children, and adolescents, ensuring they receive the best possible care in a comfortable and friendly environment.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule
The Commonwealth Government has established the Child Dental Benefits Schedule to provide eligible families with up to $1,132 in financial support for essential dental services for their children.
Our Children's Dental Services
We offer a range of services designed to promote healthy teeth and gums:
1. Preventive Care: Regular check-ups and cleanings are essential in preventing cavities and gum disease. Our gentle approach helps children feel at ease during their visits.
2. Dental Sealants: Sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, providing an extra layer of defence against decay.
3. Fluoride Treatments: Floride helps strengthen your child’s teeth and protect against cavities.
4. Restorative Treatments: If your child has a cavity our team is skilled in providing fillings and other restorative treatments.
5. Orthodontic Assessments: Early evaluation for braces or other orthodontic treatments can lead to a healthier and more beautiful smile in the future.
Preparing for Your Child's First Visit
We know that many children feel anxious about visiting the dentist. Our practice is designed to be welcoming and fun. Our friendly staff takes the time to explain procedures in a way that children can understand, helping to alleviate their fears. We believe that positive dental experiences in childhood can lead to a lifetime of good oral health.
