FAQ

It’s recommended, for general dental appointments involving routine check-ups, that children should see a dentist every 6 months. However, the frequency of dental visits can all depend upon a child’s personal needs and oral health status. 

It’s best if you consult with one of our children’s dentists near McDowall, here at Everton Park Dental to discuss and evaluate your child’s dental needs and oral health so we can recommend the appropriate frequency of their dental appointments.

To prevent further oral health complications, it’s actually recommended that within the first six months of your child’s first tooth eruption, that you book an appointment with your children’s dentist. Starting to introduce them to dental appointments at a young age enables a better establishment of good oral hygiene practices and sets them up for optimal oral health.

Even before the first dental visit, parents should start caring for their children’s oral health, not just teeth but also their gums. These can include gently cleaning their gums with a soft cloth or with an infant toothbrush after their feedings. As soon as your little one’s teeth start emerging, it’s important to brush their teeth with a rice-grain-size smear of fluoride toothpaste and gradually increase the amount as they grow older and their teeth further develop. If you’re unsure about taking care of your children’s teeth at home, feel free to book an appointment here at Everton Park Dental, so we can help you out with any uncertainties.

Tooth decay is when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that damage the tooth enamel, leading to the formation of cavities. It’s incredibly important to be vigilant and look out for the following signs of tooth decay in your children:

  • Discolouration or spots on the teeth
  • Tooth sensitivity and pain
  • Visible holes or pits in the teeth
  • Bad breath
  • Swelling or bleeding gums
  • Changes in eating habits
  • Irritability or sleep disturbances

 

If you notice any of these signs, immediately book an appointment with our children’s dentists at Everton Park Dental, so we can evaluate your kid’s teeth and determine the best course of action to ensure that the decay does not worsen.

Some of the most common dental issues in children that we see in the clinic include:
  • Tooth decay: Accumulation of bacteria damages the tooth enamel, which leads to the formation of cavities.
  • Gum disease: Plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gumline, which causes swelling, inflammation, redness and sometimes bleeding gums.
  • Malocclusions: Incorrect position or misalignment of teeth, which can form crossbite, overbite and underbites.
  • Thumb sucking and pacifier use: Both can affect alignment of teeth and the development of their bite.
