Promoting dental hygiene and good dental health from a young age can make a world of difference when it comes to preventing dental health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. We’re also a Diamond Level Invisalign provider, and can provide children from 7 up with Invisalign aligners.
When should children start visiting the dentist?
We recommend that children start coming in to the see the dentist as soon as their first tooth or teeth have started to erupt. This will help us ensure their teeth are progressing as they should, their oral health is on track, and that they feel comfortable and confident when visiting us or any dentist.
What does dental care for children include?
The most important aspect of a child’s visit to us here at The York Dental Suite, is their regular examination. Because our mission is to set a healthy dental foundation for future generations, all children aged 0-5 will be seen free of charge for their routine dental health examinations when attending at their parent’s appointment until their 6th birthday.
We may offer and provide further treatment as needed such as fluoride treatment, or fissure sealants. In some cases, we may have to undertake fillings, and as Diamond Invisalign providers, we’ll also be able to advise on early orthodontic treatment if necessary to intercept a developing problem and help restore normal masticatory and respiratory function on those that need it. Most importantly, we’ll take the time to offer advice and education on how to take care of their oral health at home.
