Dentists in Cheltenham for Families and Children
Children often find dental treatments uncomfortable and a little frightening. That’s why our Caerphilly dentists work hard to put them at their ease. We’re determined to protect the teeth of children across Gloucester with regular check-ups and a range of treatments aimed at fighting decay and cavities.
The younger children are when they first start attending dental check-ups, the more likely they are to avoid so-called dental anxiety and a severe fear of dentists. Register your children as patients as soon as you can, and make the experience part and parcel of their young lives.
The Benefits of Regular Dental Care for Children
The main cause of gum disease is plaque — a colourless film that coats your teeth. When plaque isn’t removed regularly, it can turn into a much harder and more stubborn substance called calculus or tartar. When plaque and tartar aren’t removed, bacteria can thrive. And the toxins created by those bacteria are what eventually destroys the supporting tissues around teeth.
When you have these toxins in your mouth, your body’s immune system attacks them. But that same defence mechanism also attacks the various tissues in your mouth. As gum disease continues, large gaps form between the gums and teeth — eventually causing teeth to loosen and fall out.
What Are the Tell-Tale Signs of Gum Disease?
A lot of dental problems start developing at a young age. The sooner these problems are diagnosed, the more effective potential treatments become. Issues such as overbites, cross bites, crowding and underbites all respond to treatment more readily in young children than they do in adults. Preventative dental care in the form of a strict schedule of check-ups identifies these problems and improves the overall dental well-being of children.
At Jamil Dental, we passionately believe that prevention is always the best cure when it comes to dental treatments in Cheltenham. That’s why we offer family appointments that allow you and your children to receive expert dental care during the same visit. We understand that people are busier than ever, which is why we do all we can to make family dental care as quick and convenient as possible.
