Children’s Dentistry Melbourne North West

Children’s dentistry is an important part of overall health, and our friendly dentists at Dental Couture at Melbourne North West are ready to help create a plan for your child’s oral care. With regular dental checkups, we will reinforce positive dental hygiene habits and guide you through the challenges of children’s oral health. Our team of dental professionals enjoys teaching our young patients that a dentist is a friendly place as we help to make sure their early dentist experiences are positive ones.

Healthy Prevention

We know that the basis of oral health is prevention and this is especially important with children. You see, paediatric dentistry is more than teaching children to brush, it is about watching for problems so we can intervene right from the beginning. Early intervention means less pain for your child and less cost to you. And if your child needs orthodontics, we can determine the best time to begin treatment so your child will enjoy their smile from an early age.

Ideally, it is best to not wait until your child has a cavity or infection before bringing them to the dentist. This will have a negative effect as they learn at an early age to associate the dentist with pain. Instead, bring them for their first checkup early and before any problems arise. We will put them at ease as they begin to feel comfortable with the dentists and oral health practices. Then when problems do arise, we will use our Tell, Show and Do process.

Education and Prevention is Key

We enjoy educating our young patients about oral hygiene and how they can be proactive to prevent future problems. You will get helpful tips like leaving sticky notes on the bathroom mirror to remind your child to brush or discuss tools like videos and children’s books that teach children about the dentist.

Working with children from a very early age helps us to get to know your child and understand their individual needs and concerns. And if orthodontics is part of your child’s future, we can help ensure your child is ready and comfortable with the process. Our orthodontic services include palette widening, teeth alignment and resolving bite issues.

If your child is a teenager, we have dental options they prefer most like Invisalign or clear braces to discreetly straighten teeth. We understand that it is important for teenagers to feel happy with their smiles and that straight teeth are healthy teeth. Teenagers are great candidates to resolve alignment and bite issues because it is easier to reposition teeth at this age. And if they need wisdom teeth removed, doing it during their teenage years is the best time because the bones are softer and they heal quicker than older people.
