Children’s dental care in Belmont, Geelong

September 29, 2022

When those first baby teeth emerge, parents can trust our experienced team to provide high-standard children’s dental care in Belmont, Geelong. At Dentistry of Excellence, we understand that raising children is a demanding, satisfying job that requires hard work and love. Parents want their kids to be happy and healthy, and oral hygiene is an important part of the mix.

Our dentists are here to help. We love seeing little patients arrive for their first visit to our clinic, knowing we have the opportunity to help care for their teeth and gums over the coming years.

When it comes to children’s dental services at our Belmont clinic, we strive to make those early visits fun. Trips to the dentist shouldn’t be a negative experience. We want kids to ride in the dentist chair, enjoy the visit and not be scared about coming back.

Parents’ attitudes can make our task easier. While some adults may feel anxious when it’s their turn to go to the dentist, try hard not to let your children pick up on those fears. We want them to view dental examinations as part of their regular healthcare routine. That way, we can reinforce good oral health and hygiene habits from a young age. We want them to carry those good habits through the years for a lifetime of great dental outcomes.

Making visits fun

Starting dental visits from an early age helps:

  • Make visits fun and familiar, rather than a thing to fear;
  • Give parents vital information about teething, finger and thumb sucking, teeth cleaning techniques, diet and tooth decay;
  • Check the health and development of gums, teeth and bite and allows dentists to pick up any issues and address them.

Dentistry of Excellence’s professional team is passionate about providing excellent services to young patients. From fissure sealing to advice on appropriate soft-bristled toothbrushes, we are here to help.
