Welcome to Bay Road Dental, where we prioritize creating a calm and friendly environment specifically tailored to make your child's dental experience positive and comfortable. We understand the importance of building trust and ensuring your child feels at ease during dental visits. Our team is dedicated to fostering a nurturing atmosphere that promotes good oral health habits from a young age, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Comprehensive Dental Examinations: Our comprehensive dental examinations for children are designed to be thorough yet gentle. We focus on monitoring your child's dental health closely, identifying any signs of decay, developmental issues, or alignment concerns early on. Regular check-ups allow us to intervene promptly if necessary, ensuring optimal oral health as your child grows.
Preventive Treatments: Preventive care is crucial for children's dental health. Our tailored preventive treatments include professional dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, fluoride applications to strengthen teeth, and dental sealants to protect vulnerable molars from cavities. These treatments are essential in preventing dental problems and maintaining healthy smiles.
Restorative Dentistry: If your child experiences decay or dental trauma, our restorative dentistry services provide gentle and effective solutions. We offer minimally invasive dental fillings using tooth-colored materials to restore teeth affected by cavities. Our approach focuses on preserving natural tooth structure while ensuring your child's comfort during treatments.
Orthodontic Evaluations: Early assessment of dental alignment and bite issues is crucial for children's oral development. Our orthodontic evaluations identify potential orthodontic issues early on, allowing us to refer to specialist orthodontists if necessary for timely intervention and treatment planning.
Behaviour Management: We understand that some children may feel anxious about dental visits. Our team employs specialized techniques and positive reinforcement strategies to help anxious or young patients feel relaxed and comfortable during appointments. This may include TV screens, music, or even toys and comforters. We aim to create a positive dental experience that builds confidence and reduces dental anxiety.
Educational Sessions: Education is key to maintaining good oral health. We offer interactive educational sessions for children and parents, focusing on proper brushing and flossing techniques, the importance of a balanced diet for dental health, and habits that promote strong teeth and gums. These sessions empower families to take an active role in their children's oral hygiene routines.
Children Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS) Services: Medicare Australia allocate costs for dental treatment for selected patients under a program called the Children Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS). We offer bulk billed services for patients covered by this government-funded program. Eligible children aged 2-17 can receive dental examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and necessary dental fillings up to the value of $1000 over two years. This scheme ensures that children receive essential dental care without financial barriers, promoting their overall oral health and well-being.
