Our Pediatric Dental Services at Frank Dental
We provide a range of children’s dental services that support oral health from the early years through to adolescence.
Preventive Dental Care for Children
Routine check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants help protect teeth and encourage healthy daily habits.
Restorative Treatments for Baby and Growing Teeth
When treatment is needed, options include tooth-coloured fillings, pulpotomy for baby teeth, and stainless-steel crowns to maintain comfort and function.
Special Kids Care Dentistry and Emergency Care
Our team adapts care for children with special healthcare needs and offers support in urgent situations such as toothaches, dental injuries, or broken fillings.
Early Orthodontic Assessment and Growth Monitoring For Kids
We monitor bite and jaw development, guiding parents on timing and the possible need for orthodontic care in the future.
When Should Your Child Start Visiting a Dentist?
Children should visit a dentist by around their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. Starting early helps prevent early childhood tooth decay and allows the dentist to monitor dental growth and development from the beginning, setting a strong foundation for long-term oral health.
First Dental Visit (0–3 Years)
During this stage, visits focus on early assessment and prevention. Dentists check for signs of early tooth decay, monitor how teeth are erupting, and guide parents on proper cleaning techniques, feeding habits, and teething care. These early visits also help children become familiar with the dental environment, reducing anxiety over time.
Building Healthy Dental Habits (4–6 Years)
As more teeth emerge, regular check-ups become important for maintaining oral hygiene and preventing cavities. Dentists may introduce professional cleaning, fluoride treatments, and fissure sealants where appropriate. This is also a key stage to reinforce good brushing and dietary habits as children become more independent.
Monitoring Growth & Alignment (7–12 Years)
With the transition from baby teeth to permanent teeth, dentists closely monitor bite development and alignment. Early signs of crowding, spacing, or jaw issues can be identified during this stage, allowing timely guidance on whether orthodontic intervention may be needed in the future.
