    Infant Oral Exams

    Paediatric Dentistry strongly advises children to find a "dental home" before their first birthday. Living Water Dentistry welcomes our youngest patients to begin and continue their dental care with us throughout adolescence. The early establishment of a dental home at Living Water Dentistry should allow us to implement preventative habits that will keep your child free of dental/oral decay and diseases.

    Routine Check-up

    One of the simplest and most important ways to ensure your child's teeth grow in strong and healthy is through preventative care. Giving them the right tools and teaching them how to brush properly when they are young lays the groundwork for healthy habits, they will carry with them into adulthood.
    Most children receive two cleanings per year, but children who are at a higher risk of caries may require more frequent visits.
    During a check-up, your child's hygienist will clean their teeth, take x-rays, and give your child a fluoride treatment if necessary. The dentist will examine you and determine if any treatment is required.

    Digital Dental X-ray

    Dental radiographs (x-rays) are important diagnostic tools that provide valuable information that visual examination alone may not reveal. X-rays may be required more frequently in children due to their rapid growth and changes. Digital x-rays provide a safer diagnosis while emitting less radiation than traditional x-rays. It may also enable us to detect dental decay at an early stage, when treatment can be avoided or requires less dental care.

    Dental Fluoride

    When fluoride is used in small amounts on a routine basis along with a healthy diet and good oral hygiene, it helps to prevent tooth decay.
    Depending on your child’s age, the fluoride may be brushed onto your child’s teeth or put into a foam tray and allowed to sit on their teeth. For younger children, a fluoride varnish is brushed onto the teeth. Fluoride varnish hardens when it comes in contact with saliva, forming a hard film that is brushed off later that evening.
    For older children, a tray containing foam fluoride is usually placed in their mouths for a set amount of time, along with a suction straw to remove any foam overflow and saliva. When the timer goes off, your child is instructed not to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes in order for the fluoride to take effect.

    White Tooth Fillings, Crowns & Restorations

    If your child requires restorative treatment such as a filling or crown, Our team will design a personalised treatment plan for your child and go over all available options with you before treatment begins.
    White fillings are also known as composite fillings or resin fillings. They are made of a composite of plastic, glass, and ceramic. When a patient has a small cavity, a white filling may be required to restore the tooth. White fillings are colour and appearance similar to natural teeth and are usually undetectable.
    Crowns can be made of a variety of materials depending on where they will be placed in your child's mouth. Stainless steel, resin, and zirconia are all long-lasting materials that require very similar preparations.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common dental problems in Children?

The following are the most common dental problems in children:

  • Cavities Tooth decay, also known as cavities, is caused by bacteria found in foods such as milk, soda, raisins, candies, and sweets. The bacteria react with the acid in the mouth to produce plaque, which forms on the teeth. Plaque, if not properly removed, causes tooth decay or cavities.
  • Tooth Sensitivity Tooth sensitivity in children can be caused by a variety of factors, including newly erupted teeth, acid erosion, teeth grinding or bruxism, and so on. In the event of tooth sensitivity, it is critical to seek medical attention. It can be uncomfortable and distracting for a child, affecting their concentration and routine.
  • Gingivitis and gum disease in children This disease is quite common and is caused by poor oral hygiene. Gingivitis is a precursor to gum disease that causes gum pain, gum recession, and swelling.
  • Crooked teeth In children, permanent teeth rarely erupt properly and in the correct orientation. This can result in crooked teeth, which can lead to a variety of issues such as gum disease because crooked teeth cause overcrowding of teeth in the mouth, which can prevent proper brushing. Crooked teeth can also develop as a result of excessive thumb sucking after a certain age.
  • Dental emergencies Children are more likely to sustain dental injuries while participating in sports, roughhousing with siblings, or falling while riding a bicycle. These can include teeth that have chipped, broken, or cracked.
