Children need regular dental hygiene appointments to promote good oral health and prevent cavities. Oral hygiene statistics in children show that around 8 out of 10 hospital tooth extractions among children aged 0 to 5 years, are due to preventable tooth decay. The main objective of a good oral hygiene routine is to remove plaque. Plaque is made of food and bacteria that grow on the teeth surfaces and around the gum line and can cause oral health problems such as gum disease and tooth decay, if not removed effectively.
Advanced Diagnostics
We use x-rays as a fundamental diagnosis tool to monitor the health of children’s dental health. Examinations that only rely on the visual examination by the dentist is not enough, because there are many aspects that the eye cannot see. By taking x-rays, paediatric dentists will be able to see much more such as:
- bone disease
- oral injuries
- causes of any swelling in the mouth
- cavities located in between the teeth
Teeth Protection in Sports
Does your child love sports? Dental Clinic Donvale is your local expert in children’s sports mouthguards. These are custom-made rubber coverings, worn over your child’s teeth to protect them from damage in contact and ball sports. Being hit in the mouth by a ball in sports such as football, cricket or hockey can lead to serious damage to your child’s teeth, including broken and lost teeth. Equally, sports in which your child comes into contact with other players, such as rugby or boxing, can also lead to damaged, broken or dislocated teeth or jaws.
How do children’s mouthguards work? Custom mouthguards protect against dental injury, trauma or tooth loss by cushioning the teeth and gums to help avoid chipped and broken teeth.
