Children’s Dentistry
CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY IN GYMPIE
A HEALTHY START
At McDonald Dental in Gympie, we care about children’s dental health. We believe introducing children to a regular dental routine and dentist visits from an early age can help them develop consistent routines of their own in the future. Preventative treatment and check-ups are important to avoid more serious dental problems later in life.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS (CHECK-UPS)
From the moment their teeth start growing, your child can come in for dental check-ups. Early appointments are useful to ensure teeth are all growing in as they should. Regular appointments with a dental professional will help your child become more comfortable going to the dentist, creating a habit of regular visits that will last their life.
Often, signs of significant oral conditions can be observed and noticed with careful examination, as teeth start developing. It’s beneficial for children to have a dentist checking up on the progress of their growing teeth, including advice on wisdom teeth for older children.
Book an appointment at McDonald Dental for a dental check-up for your child.
GENERAL DENTISTRY
With children’s dentistry, our goals are the same as with any adult patient. We want all children to leave our office with healthy teeth and better oral hygiene than before. From 6 months and up, we can help parents to teach their children about proper oral hygiene and its importance to overall health.
Our friendly team at McDonald Dental will help your child to:
- Maintain good oral hygiene
- Change bad dental habits & replace them with positive habits
- Teach the right routines to prevent gum disease
- Learn not to fear a visit to the dentist
It’s always preferable to spot early warning signs of dental conditions before they grow into something more serious. Treating as early as possible helps make a favourable outcome from a situation that would normally be difficult to handle as it progresses.
Dr. McDonald is the dentist to trust when it comes to your child's dental care.
CDBS CHILD DENTAL BENEFITS SCHEME
For eligible children, the CDBS offers $1000 for dental care for two years. Such a scheme makes it more affordable to teach young children the importance of good oral hygiene and a consistent dental routine. Because of this government support, eligible children can receive the services they need to start a healthy relationship with dental professionals early on.
SEDATION THERAPY
If your child faces a lengthy procedure or is very uncomfortable with visiting the dentist, we offer sedation therapy from a trusted local GP. Such a service is available only upon advance request.
If you have any more questions about our children's dental services, feel free to call McDonald Dental in Gympie.
