Old habits die hard, and the oldest habits we have are the ones formed in youth. With your children, it’s important to make sure that one of those habits is effective oral hygiene. Not least for the obvious future benefit, but also for their baby teeth. Contrary to popular belief, baby teeth are not a dental ‘test drive’. No, in fact, losing a baby tooth early can alter the shape of your child’s face! Children’s dentistry is a big deal and we at Liverpool Dental Spa will do all we can to ensure a happy future for your child’s pearly whites.

Checkups for children

Prevention is better than cure and we are always on hand to examine your child’s teeth. In fact, we recommend bringing them in even before their teeth have erupted, just to ensure that all is progressing smoothly. Getting your child into the habit of regular trips to the dentist is important, but we can also ensure that your child’s teeth are developing properly. That way, you can concentrate on the parenting with a little less to worry about!

Dental education

At Liverpool Dental Spa, we will provide your children with all the information they require to best look after their teeth at home. This includes information on brushing techniques, flossing and the importance of a good routine. We also provide information on the effects of one’s diet and lifestyle on their teeth.

Overcoming dental phobia

Introducing your child to the dentist in a friendly, informative way, your child will be less likely to develop dental phobia and anxiety in the future. Dental phobia can be crippling and can lead to major dental problems to the patient avoiding checkups. Trying your best to quash these groundless fears is paramount!

Preventative measures

Alongside education and examination, we also offer preventative treatments which can help protect your child’s teeth until they are more competent at maintaining their teeth. These include fissure sealants and fluoride application which can help prevent decay and damage.

Child dental health is important for development of healthy oral structures and overall well-being. Starting in infancy, children need oral health assessment to ensure that their dental structures are developing normally.

Children’s dentistry

Children may be born with hereditary oral health conditions, such as cleft palate or malocclusion, needing specific care. Those with dexterity difficulties may need help with oral hygiene. Children with learning difficulties may be prone to orthodontic conditions that may affect their nutrition and speech. The right dental treatments allow for healthier nutrition and speech.

The gums of infants may be sensitive. Our dentists advise on oral health products for teething. As milk teeth appear, the teeth need cleaning to remove plaque, prevent bacterial infections and tooth decay.

Regular check-ups

Through regular dental check-ups and screening, children may receive the oral health care needed to prevent onset of tooth decay, gum disease and orthodontic conditions.

We provide parents and guardians with ways in which they can help their children learn the importance of oral health care. The dental hygienist answers questions, demonstrates proper teeth brushing techniques, and provides information about child oral health care products.
