Is it time for your child to visit the dentist for the first time? Are their teeth starting to appear and you want to ensure that everything is alright? If so, you are on the right track. Many dental organisations and dentists suggest that children should visit a dentist within six months of the appearance of their first teeth or by their first birthday.
At Liverpool Smile Studio, we offer dental services for children, which are intended to detect and prevent oral health problems at the earliest stage. We offer a number of preventive dental treatments to help your children keep their smile in the best possible health.
These services include dental sealants and fluoride applications. Bringing your child to the dentist in Liverpool regularly ensures that we detect and treat any early signs of damage before they become more extensive, painful and expensive.
Our dentist in Liverpool is also committed to educating our young patients about the importance of good oral hygiene and the benefits of a balanced diet.
Our dental services for children
At Liverpool Smile Studio, we provide cleanings for children in order to keep their teeth and gums healthy. The procedure involves the removal of hardened plaque from the teeth and gums, a procedure also known as a scale and polish. Our dentist in Liverpool will remove the plaque entirely from your children’s teeth and polish them in order to prevent it from re-attaching.
Children are more prone to tooth decay than adults and in some cases, we may recommend dental sealants. These transparent, plastic sealants are painted directly to the surface of the back teeth to prevent bacteria from entering through the grooves. We may also recommend fluoride applications in order to protect your children’s growing teeth from developing decay.
The role of the parents
After evaluating your child’s dental health, your dentist in Liverpool will design a custom-made oral home care routine. This will include brushing and flossing instructions and tips on healthy diet choices. By following these directions and encouraging your child to care for their teeth, you can help give them a lifetime habit of good oral care.
