Good oral health is vitally important for young children. This is because baby teeth create the strong foundation for adult teeth. At John Street Dental the best children’s dentistry in Redcliffe we love to see our younger patients and get them all excited about their smile and teeth.
We recommend your child first visit our team for a check-up when their teeth begin to emerge, around age one. This check-up is designed to introduce them to our team and help build trust and confidence so they see a dental appointment as fun and important. We are best children’s dentistry in Redcliffe, we take care of your child.
Bringing your children in with you when you have our appointment makes them familiar with the sights and sounds of our practice and more comfortable and compliant when it’s their turn.
A composite filling is made of a resin material similar in consistency as toothpaste and is applied to the tooth surface in thin layers. It is hardened by a UV light, then shaped and polished, restoring your tooth’s form and function.
Composite fillings are less expensive and can be completed in a single appointment, occasionally without the need for anaesthetic.
Our dentist matches the colour of composites to neighbouring teeth for a more natural appearance, making the filling indistinguishable
Composite resin fillings often are made smaller than amalgam fillings and require less tooth preparation, thereby saving more natural tooth structure.
Composite fillings are used to restore strength and appearance. They are also less sensitive to hot and cold temperature changes in the mouth; therefore there is less chance that the tooth will fracture because of the filling.
Maintaining a thorough at-home oral health routine and scheduling check-up appointments with the John Street Dental team every six months will ensure your new white porcelain or composite fillings last for many years to come.
