Pediatric Dentist in Auckland
Kids teeth need gentle care.
How can my child have excellent teeth? At Caring 4 Smiles, we ensure this happens.
Every day parents ask us, "How can we make sure that our children will have excellent teeth for life?" We offer a very simple reply, "Trust us with your children and we will give them back to you with amazing teeth".
If this promise is good enough for you, then please drop in with your children and let the journey to excellent Oral Health begin.
Your child’s early dental experiences form their lifetime approach to dental hygiene and care. Routine dental check-ups from an early age can help to eliminate the fear of the dentist and establish a good dental routine to follow throughout their lives.
Caring 4 Smiles loves children. We have scores of parents who joined our practice as children and now, they bring their children to us.
Ensure your child’s oral health for life…
Good oral hygiene combined with children’s dentistry plays a very important part in the overall health of your child. Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is a bacterial disease which afflicts many children. These include baby bottle tooth decay, nursing caries, rampant caries, and sipper cup caries. Eliminating oral disease is hinged on managing the plaque build up from an early age, and staying on top of it.
We suggest that parents begin wiping their babies mouths even before the first teeth erupt. Wipe the gums, inner aspects of the mouth and stimulate blood-flow in the process. Once the teeth make their appearance, start wiping the teeth at least twice a day. This will remove plaque and introduce children to someone putting their fingers in their mouths. Transiting to a hygienist or dentist then becomes very easy in a year or two.
Failing to control plaque can cause dental infections, resulting in painful toothache and abscesses which can result in Rheumatic fever and heart disease. Let Caring 4 Smiles save your children from these debilitating conditions with Preventive Care.
Caring 4 Smiles commitment as a partner in child dental care…
As part of our PREVENTIVE CARE commitment, we establish a partnership between parents, your child and our team. Some children are nervous and apprehensive of a dental clinic. Yet in a couple of visits, we see just the opposite, and children don’t want to leave the dental chair as they become comfortable and relaxed. We have been caring for children for 30 years.
Experience the Caring 4 Smiles difference…
After parents have started the mouth wiping from an early age, we recommend you bring the children in to meet the hygienist or dentist at around two years of age. This would me a short introduction to the practice and the dental treatment room. They will get to have a ride in the dental chair and find out more about their teeth. Our dental hygienist and dentist will make your child feel right at home and help understand the importance of caring for their teeth. We also train parents to help their kids practice great oral care at home.
