Do you need to find the best children’s dentist in Hilton? Come and try Hilton Family Dental Care. Our rooms are situated at The Quarry Centre for your convenience. At Hilton Family Dental Care, our focus is on the oral health of the entire family and because kids have different needs than that of adults, our dentists have paediatric training too. Our rooms are kid friendly with televisions and toys bringing focus away from the impending consult. Our children’s dentist in Hilton does not clamp forward with the consult immediately but spends a fair bit of time engaging with the child and explaining the importance of healthy teeth to them.
Our dentist offers a wide variety of treatments. We do, after all cater to all age ranges, but the following are specific to children’s needs.
Preventative– keeping to a daily home brushing routine and visiting our children’s dentist in Hilton twice a year is a sure-fire way to keep teeth healthy and free of decay. Children should be brought in for their first visit when a few teeth have erupted. This way, our dentist will impart the correct process for a home routine. This should be kept up every six months. Within this time period, our childrens dentist is able to remove plaque and tartar build-up easily without having to drill into the teeth to have it removed. A good home brushing routine is a good basic start to maintaining healthy white teeth. To supplement this, preventative treatments are suggested. This way our dentists can do a full scale check of the mouth and advise if there are any areas that are maybe not being paid as much attention. They can even do a fluoride treatment to help prevent this build-up in the first place.
Restorative– if your kids have not been visiting the dentist as regularly as they should then they may develop cavities. This decayed portion of the tooth can cause sensitivity and will continue to rot away. The tooth, thankfully, can be restored by our children’s dentist in Hilton. The decay will be drilled out and then filled with a dental filling paste. It is hardened to the same degree of the tooth and then shaped and polished. It will look just like a normal tooth as the composite filling used by our dentists are individually mixed for each patient to match their tooth colour. Fillings can also be used to fix a tooth which has cracked or if a portion has been chipped off.
Dental sealant– another preventative measure to cavities is a sealant. It is a coating of a thin layer of plastic over the top of molars. Generally, this area is prone to cavities because food particles can easily become stuck in the tiny grooves, especially since these teeth are responsible for chewing food. A dental sealant allows for this to no longer be a problem.
