A few reasons why your child’s teeth are worth looking after
Here at Balsall Common Dental Practice we firmly believe that prevention is better than cure. We encourage our patients to bring their children to the practice from an early age so they can benefit from a private standard of children’s dentistry.
Regular examinations from a young age will ensure children won’t suffer from untreated dental decay with devastating effects to their growing dentition. There are a number of preventive treatments that our team can provide for children:
- Fluoride applications are a safe and effective way to safeguard your growing child’s teeth from developing decay. The fluoride is painted onto the surface of the child’s teeth and this helps to mineralise the teeth.
- Fissure sealants are tooth coloured and applied to biting surfaces of children’s teeth to prevent decay.
- We employ DIAGNOdent laser scanners to detect early decay sooner than would otherwise be possible.
- Photo-Activated Disinfection (PAD) uses a medical grade laser to heal early decay without fillings.
- Studies have shown that the younger the age that you bring your child to the dental practice, even if just for an examination, the more likely they are to have a positive experience and grow up not to be afraid of the dentist.
Our team, Dr Ashley Davenport and Dr Catherine Myatt will take special care of your child to make them feel safe and looked after.
These are the benefits of starting a good oral health regime early on for your child:
- Healthy teeth and gums for life.
- Reduced risk of developing tooth decay and needing fillings.
- No fears or phobias of the dentist
Our team members Dr. Ashley Davenport and Dr. Catherine Myatt have trained and qualified to deliver oral health care for children to a high standard here at Balsall Common Dental Practice.
