Many parents say, “I wish my parents took me to the dentist when I was young then I wouldn’t have these huge fillings and root canals…” A fear of dentist often develops due to a bad start in oral health when young, this often continues into adult life. Imagine your child’s first dental visit and you discover he needs 10 fillings!

 

You can help your kids by fostering good eating habits and building a friendly relationship with their dentist with regular dentist visits. A first dental visit can start as early as 2. This helps to ensure a positive experience and avoid development of dental anxieties and phobias later in life.

 

At their first dental visit, by taking the time to introduce your young ones to the various tools and setting of the dental practice, we will engage their interest in their own oral health, keeping them comfortable as we pick up areas of concern early and addressing these issues as quick as possible. No longer is it important to pick up dental decay, it is also vital to pick up early dental and skeletal development issues to avoid teeth crowding and poor jaw alignment.

We can provide your child with:

• Oral hygiene and diet advice.
• Preventative, non-painful treatments, like fissure sealants, mouth guards and fluoride treatments.
• Early orthodontic advice and management

Pure Bliss Dental Care is also proud to be part of the Federal government’s Child dental benefit Scheme which entitles eligible children, aged 2-17, to $1013 towards their dental care over a 24 month period. The scheme can be utilised for preventative services such as check-ups, x-rays and fissure seals which can help to prevent the need for fillings, extractions and root canals which are also covered.
