A child’s mouth is still developing and growing the necessary teeth they’ll need into adulthood. This is why it’s incredibly important to keep their mouths healthy from a very early age. In fact, parents should start bringing their children in for their first appointment before they turn one to ensure that their gums and baby teeth are developing as they should be. A children’s dentist can help you navigate the changes that your child’s mouth will experience as they continue to grow while also staying on top of any arising issues.
Comfortable Dental Services For Children Of All Ages
We offer an array of dental treatments for children of all ages right here in our Stoney Creek dental office, by our general dentist.
TEETH CLEANING
It’s important that children feel comfortable and stress-free during their teeth cleaning appointments. Our team will greet them with a smile as soon as they walk into our office so they know they can trust us as we examine their mouths and begin cleaning their teeth.
PREVENTATIVE CARE
We’ll help emphasize the importance of establishing an exceptional at-home oral health care routine to both children and their parents. Regular brushing and flossing is key to preventing children from developing cavities or early signs of gum disease.
TOOTH FILLINGS
If your child has a cavity, our dentist will remove the tooth decay after numbing the area and ensuring they feel comfortable. Once removed, Gateshead Dental can restore the tooth’s strength and appearance with the help of a white composite filling.
WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION
It’s mostly common for wisdom teeth to begin erupting between the ages of 17 and 24. If your teen is experiencing discomfort, sensitivity, or swollen gums, it may be time to have them removed, especially if they’re impacted.
