At Drummoyne Dental Practice, our dentists believe that developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Visiting the dentist regularly for a check-up is something that can easily be forgotten or postponed but is essential in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. If your child hasn’t seen a dentist in over twelve months – they should visit for a check-up and clean and polish. Prevention is always better than cure and regular dental examinations can catch any problems early and help maintain a healthy mouth. Remember, children who have regular dental check-ups tend to have fewer dental problems. For anxious children we offer inhalation sedation – Nitrous Oxide. Also known as ‘happy gas’, nitrous oxide is a safe option for children to undergo treatment without anxiety, stress or any phobias. Having been used for over 30 years ‘happy gas’ will bring on feelings of relaxation. Upon completing treatment the effects will cease within a few minutes.
