What Makes Children’s Dental Care Important

Children go through the most critical phases of teeth and jaw development. The primary teeth start erupting from the third month for infants. Their jaws also start developing along with the primary teeth eruption. The proper development of jaws and primary teeth is essential for the eruption and development of secondary teeth. It means that the proper growth of primary teeth and jaw influences the dental health of your child in the later years.
Therefore, the dental screening at regular intervals of time, six months to one year, for your child is necessary.

Regular dental appointments also help us to understand any dental issues they may have, including thumb sucking, tooth decay, tongue thrusting, and more. Additionally, it helps the children to understand the importance of good oral health and encourages them to follow good dental hygiene practices from their infancy.

Individualized Children Dentistry Services

At Bay Street Dental Group, we recommend that parents bring their infants for appointments when they notice the eruption of the first tooth. Usually, the first tooth erupts between three and nine months of their age.

We offer a comprehensive range of dental services that address all of the varied dental needs of your children, including:

Dental check-ups and cleanings
Cavity fillings
Dental sealants
Patient education
And more

At our clinic, we will review the medical records of your baby and perform a complete oral exam. We will inform you and provide any dental treatment and care needed for your toddler. Our paediatric dentists will give you an overview of the teeth, gum, and jaw development of your child and advise tips for proper oral care.

We recommend all parents bring their children for dental appointments at regular intervals of time. It helps us to analyse their overall oral development and provide the necessary preventive, orthodontic, and restorative dental treatment options along with regular cleaning and care.
