Our Services
Children’s dentistry is important to our practice. We believe that the best approach is prevention. At crystal Dental Care we encourage kids to have regular check-ups with our dentist so as to reduce the need for future expensive treatments. It is best to bring your child to the dentist as soon as their baby teeth erupt. Developing good oral habits at an age along with being comfortable in the dental chair is vital.. Dr. Joshi encourages children of all ages to visit and get familiarised with our environment .The Australian Dental Association recommends children to have their first visit to the dentist at the age of twelve months.
We provide an assessment of your child’s oral health and may suggest preventive procedures like dietary changes, sealants, additional fluoride, sealants or space maintainers. We also provide required procedures like stainless steel crowns, habit-breaking appliances, fillings etc.
Topical APPLICATION OF fluoRIDE
Fluorides have demonstrated to be one of the most efficient agents in order to prevent cavities or dental decay. They make the teeth stronger and protect them against acidic foods, hot and cold temperatures, or even stress caused by chewing hard foods.
At Crystal Dental Care , we apply fluoride to your tooth surface via a Gel /Foam. Application of topical fluoride periodically after a professional clean of teeth goes a long way in maintaining your mouth cavity free.
Pit and Fissure Sealants
Prevention is better than cure. Getting timely and very simple procedures you can keep your childs mouth cavity free throughout your life. Pit and Fissure sealants are important in preventing decay and help avoid undergoing dental discomfort and pain, and also complicated dental treatment procedures in the future.The sealants seal the grooves on the molar teeth by flowing into the grooves of the teeth and then hardens so that no food particles or bacteria stay on the tooth surface and hide in these areas causing teeth to decay.They also make the chewing surfaces easier to clean.
Child Dental Benifit Schedule
It is an initiative from Medicare which allows eligible children aged 2- 17 years, to access basic dental services. Under this scheme we bulk-bill for all items and you will not need to pay out of pocket for these services, provided you have enough funds available under the benefit cap.
