Sunshine Dental Care Is There For Life

There's a lot more to caring for our teeth than simply brushing them and flossing! And there are times in our lives when our teeth will require more care than normal.

But by working with your dental clinic on the Sunshine Coast, treatment can be planned and swift action in an emergency is assured.

For example, those working in Sunshine dental care understand that something like a chipped tooth, or even knocked-out tooth, can't wait for treatment. Besides the panic and embarrassment, there is a very real risk of infection, or even losing the tooth completely.

Children's teeth require special care

Likewise, dental clinics on the Sunshine Coast understand that your child's teeth require special care and attention, so that they might last a lifetime.

Even before those baby teeth appear, work should be in place to ensure everything goes smoothly and any possible issues are quickly identified.

Did you know that babies are generally born with a full set of baby teeth hidden in their gums? Some 6 to 10 months later, these teeth will start to appear.

It's never too soon to start

The 32 adult teeth arrive anywhere between 6 and 20 years.

But you can start cleaning and caring for your baby's gums before those first little teeth appear. 

Sunshine dental care will help you provide the best care for your child's teeth, as well as sharing information on dental care; which foods and drinks to discourage - or encourage, and tips on how to make teeth-cleaning time fun! 

If you're a new parent teething time can be quite daunting! Coping with your baby's discomfort, not knowing what you should and shouldn't do . . 

For example, did you know that you don't use toothpaste on children under 18 months, unless your dentist recommends it?

At the other end of the scale, as we get older we find we need the help of our Sunshine dental care professional more, too, as we start to consider options for crowns, dental implants and dentures.

So, taking care of teeth on the Sunshine Coast is an important issue at any age. Luckily we have the right professionals on hand to help!
