Smile Creation is your one-stop family dentist in Bundoora for all your dental care. We have a wide range of children’s dentistry services, including:
- Children’s Examinations – Our gentle dentist, Dr Sanjay, loves working with kids and educating them on oral health. During your child’s exam, we will gently look around their mouth and take X-rays if applicable.
- Gentle Cleanings – Keep your child’s teeth and gums clean and plaque free with our gentle cleanings. We will discuss proper oral hygiene habits and teach them brushing and flossing techniques.
- Fissure Sealants – Dental Fissure sealants are a great option for kids who have deep groves in their back molars. These groves are at higher risk of accumulating bacteria and plaque, so with a fissure sealant it will safeguard the tooth to prevent any future issues.
- Fillings – Our gentle fillings are a safe, non-toxic resin material which is tooth-like in colour. It is important to fill cavities to prevent further damage which can cause more serious and costly procedures.
- Fluoride Treatments – Our children’s fluoride treatments help the tooth enamel stay healthy and strong. Along with proper oral hygiene habits at home, you will be setting your smile up to last for years to come. Our fluoride treatments work like a protective barrier on the tooth’s surface.
- Mouthguards – It’s so important to protect your teeth while playing contact sports to prevent any dental emergencies and serious injuries. Smile Creation offers customised sports mouthguards for children. Your child will be able to pick their colour and it will fit snug to their teeth working as a protection against impact.
