As the old proverb goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and this all begins as soon as your childs’ first tooth erupts. Preventative dental visits from an early age lay the foundation for a lifetime of good oral and dental health. Apart from getting your child used to regular visits to the practice, Our Dental Therapists will evaluate your child’s oral health, diagnose any problems that may exist and provide health care advice and correct toothbrushing instruction - don’t wait until a problem occurs before their first visit. Recent studies indicate that by the age of 6, half of all Australian children will have tooth decay. This is largely due to the increased tendancy to consume high sugar or acidic drinks, frequent snacking between meals and incorrect cleaning techniques. Consumption of these foods/ drinks should be limited, and children should be encouraged to drink water (preferably fluoridated tap water) as much as possible. Since the start of the year, we have been proudly supporting the Medicare initiative, the Childrens Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS). Through this scheme, our Dental Therapists have been providing dental treatments, instruction and advice to eligible children aged 2 to 17 years, all with no gap payments to the patients. For families not entitled to the scheme, our practice offers the initial exam free of charge for new patients aged 4 and under. The team here at Goodison Dental Services are committed to actively promoting and instructing our patients in the importance of good oral hygiene for our overall health, with an emphasis on preventative dentistry. Contact our friendly reception staff if you require further information in regards to the CDBS, or to make your childs’ next appointment, and while you’re at it – are you due too?
