Preventive Dentistry With Kid's Dentist In Castle Hill
Fissure Seals: Back teeth have complex grooves and pits on the biting surface which makes it difficult to clean, especially for children. That’s why our dentists recommend doing fissure seals on all back teeth for your child at the age of 6, as these back teeth come through.
Fissure seals are like fillings but require little to no drilling. They can help to:
- Reduce the risk of decay by sealing bacteria off
- Making oral hygiene and brushing easier
- Keep your teeth healthy for longer
Mouthguards: If your child regularly plays contact sports, you may need to consider getting a custom-made mouthguard to prevent impact injuries.
Benefits of custom-made mouthguards include:
- Protect your teeth, lips and jaw
- Cost-effective
- Custom-fit and comfortable, which means your child is more likely to wear it.
- Wide range of colours available
Custom-fit mouthguards are precisely fitted to your teeth to ensure maximum absorption of the impact forces to help minimise the trauma to your jaw, mouth, or teeth.
Although they cost more than your standard, one-size-fits-all mouthguard, making the investment now can save you time, money, and from discomfort in the future from the dental procedures required to fix your child’s dental injuries.
Children's Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies such as trauma, knocked out tooth, chipped tooth are extremely common in young children. These emergencies must be treated immediately. This will ensure minimal long-term damage to teeth. Our emergency dentist at Castle Hill Dental Care always tries to leave emergency appointments every day, so your child can receive timely treatment. For more information on dental emergencies, please refer HERE.
Knocked out your tooth (Avulsed tooth)?
- It is not uncommon for children and adults to knock out their teeth. This is also known as avulsed teeth. In such an event, please follow the instruction illustrated below and Call us IMMEDIATELY on (02) 9680 1212.
- Find and pick up the tooth by the crown (the top white part). Touching the root can damage the root surface which is essential to save the tooth.
- Make sure it is an adult tooth because baby teeth will not be put back in as they might damage the tooth buds of the erupting adult tooth.
- If the tooth is dirty, gently wash it in milk or saline solution or contact lens solution.
- If you can, place the tooth back in the socket, make sure it is in the right orientation and hold it by the crown.
- If you are unable to put the tooth back in its socket, then you should store the tooth in a container with some milk or saline solution and bring it with you to see our dentist.

Do you know your Children Teeth Eruption Time?
The average child has a full set of 20 primary teeth by the age of two to three years. Your child’s first visit to the dentist should be within six months of the eruption of their first tooth or by their first birthday.
Baby teeth require the same level of maintenance and monitoring as adult teeth. Baby teeth generally have a lower amount of mineralized structure, which means that bad oral hygiene and/or dietary habits can carry on from childhood to adulthood, leading to high decay risk. Decay and infection of baby teeth, besides the pain and discomfort, can damage the erupting adult teeth.
Early loss of baby teeth can result in loss of space and crowding of adult teeth. This is why regular check-ups and maintenance by a qualified dentist is mandatory to promote good long-term oral health and habits in children and prevent future complications. Set a good example! Kids tend to imitate the behaviors of mum and dad, so if oral hygiene and looking after your teeth are important to you, it will be important to your child. Talk to your child about the importance of brushing and flossing and instill good habits early so they’ll stick for life.
