Children's Dentistry
About Children’s Dentistry:
At Sunrise Dental Chatswood, our dentists are dedicated to the oral health of children — from infancy through the teenage years. With the right experience and gentle approach, we provide comprehensive care for children’s teeth, gums, and mouths at every stage of development.
Children typically begin developing baby teeth within the first 6 months of life, and by the age of 6 or 7, these are gradually replaced by permanent teeth. Without proper care, kids may face oral health problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and early childhood caries.
Dental decay in children is one of the most common health issues, being 5 times more common than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever. Studies show that about 1 in 5 children aged 5 to 11 years has at least one untreated decayed tooth.
Our children’s dentistry in Chatswood services are focused on prevention, education, and gentle treatments to help kids build healthy dental habits for life.
Types of Children’s Dentistry :
- Infant oral health exams, which include risk assessment for caries in mother and child.
- Preventive dental care including cleaning and fluoride treatments, as well as nutrition and diet recommendations.
- Early assessment and treatment for straightening teeth and correcting an improper bite (orthodontics).
- Repair of tooth cavities or defects.
- Care for dental injuries (for example, fractured, displaced or knocked-out teeth).
