FIXED BRIDGES
At Eastgate Dental & Cosmetic Centre, fixed bridges involve the placement of a custom-made dental bridge to replace missing teeth restoring the appearance and function of the smile.
CHILDREN'S TEETH
At Eastgate Dental & Cosmetic Centre, we offer check-ups for children, ensuring that their oral health journey begins with care, comfort, and confidence.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILDREN'S DENTAL CHECK UPS
Regular dental check-ups for children are important for several reasons:
Prevention and Detection- Early check-ups help to identify and prevent potential dental issues before they become major concerns. We can address concerns like cavities, misalignment, and gum issues at an early stage, making treatment less invasive and more effective.
Establishing Healthy Habits- Young children should see the dentist as often as adults, every six months. Regular visits introduce children to the dental environment in a positive way, fostering good oral hygiene habits and reducing dental anxiety.
Education- We take the time to educate both children and parents about proper oral care techniques, diet choices, and habits that promote healthy teeth and gums.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING MY CHILD'S DENTAL CHECK UP?
Our child-friendly approach creates a comfortable and enjoyable experience for your little one. During a typical children's dental check-up, you can expect:
- Our skilled dentists will conduct a thorough yet gentle examination of your child's teeth, gums, and mouth.
- A gentle cleaning and polishing will remove plaque and tartar buildup, followed by a polishing to leave their teeth shiny and fresh.
- X-rays (if necessary): Depending on your child's age and oral health, X-rays might be taken to get a comprehensive view of their dental development.
- Personalised Guidance: We will provide tailored advice on brushing techniques, flossing, and diet choices that promote healthy teeth.
HOW TO PREPARE MY CHILD FOR A DENTIST VISIT?
Visiting the dentist can be a new experience for children. Here are some tips to help prepare them:
Positive Reinforcement- Speak positively about the dentist, emphasizing how it's a fun and important part of growing up.
Play Pretend- Role-playing with a toy dentist kit can help familiarize your child with the idea of a dental visit.
Read Books- Children's books about going to the dentist can help normalize the experience.
Accompany Them- Be with your child during the visit to provide comfort and support.
