Regular dental visits are equally important for children as they are for adults. At Lane Cove Dental Centre we understand the need for Children’s Dentistry and the significant benefits it provides. Good oral hygiene practices and dental care can never come too early in life and should be embraced by all parents.

‘Baby’ or Primary teeth are important! Baby teeth aid with chewing function, speaking and path the way for second teeth. Parents can help children achieve healthy teeth by limiting the amount of sugar and starch in their children’s diet and by supervising brushing. Speak to Dr Paul McCoy or Dr Joel Kligman for the correct way for children to brush their teeth and the toothpaste best suited to their needs. By establishing healthy eating habits and good oral hygiene techniques at an early age, decay can be prevented.

It is important not to wait until your child complains of a toothache to visit us. Regular trips to Lane Cove Dental Centre from an early age can help eliminate the fear generally associated with the dentist.

If an incident does occur and your child knocks out a permanent tooth; the most important step is to remain calm! Contact Lane Cove Dental Centre immediately after the incident and we will care for your child’s oral needs.

Lane Cove Dental Centre realises that a child’s first few dental visits can be a daunting experience. With this is mind we provide a very supportive and gentle environment; helping ease any anxiety felt by the patient or their parents.
