Dentistry for Children Q & A


What is Dentistry for Children?

Dentistry for children is geared specifically towards the needs of younger patients. There are significant differences between children and adults when it comes to dental care, both in their oral health needs and in their emotional and psychological needs.

Dental phobias tend to originate from early dental experiences that were unnerving, and they can linger well on into adulthood. Because of this, it’s beneficial to your child’s well-being to have experts like the Dreamtime Dentistry Dental Group team handle your child’s dental needs.

How is Dentistry for Children Unique?

The team of caring professionals at Dreamtime Dentistry Dental Group tailors its services towards children by providing extra:

Compassion

Patience

The Dreamtime Dentistry Dental Group team is experienced in child psychology and knows how to comfort dental fear and anxiety.

How Old Does my Child Need to be to Start their Dental Care?

Your child can start seeing a dentist as soon as they get their first tooth.

When you start your child’s dental care early, it helps them establish a healthy and comfortable relationship with their dentist. It also helps them to develop stronger and healthier oral habits that will carry on into adulthood.

Early dental care also enables your child’s dentist to monitor conditions that would benefit from early intervention and treat them accordingly.
