Healthy baby teeth are essential for the development of your child. They are necessary for your child to eat and grow and to learn how to speak. They are also important guides for the development of the permanent dentition throughout childhood.

Being a children’s dentist on the Gold Coast, we recommend introducing your child to the experience of a visit to the dentist from the age of about two years. At Oracle Dental, we are all about making your child’s dental experience a positive one. This ensures your child will develop healthy dental habits and prevent anxiety over visiting the dentist in the future. A child’s visit will usually involve a ride in the chair, examination of teeth, demonstration of effective cleaning and any other advice necessary.

Current statistics show over 50% of Australian children 6 years and under already have tooth decay. Considering tooth decay is a preventable disease, this statistic is staggering and highlights the need for early education, prevention and treatment.

Part of prevention is developing healthy dental habits at home. This includes ensuring your child cleans their teeth effectively twice a day. A child can also be shown how to floss where teeth are in close contact and a healthy, low sugar diet should be maintained.

Our dentists at Oracle Dental Broadbeach are highly experienced at treating children. Make an appointment for your child today and start them on a healthy teeth journey for life!
