Children’s dentistry

Our oral health therapists and dentists are highly trained to treat children of all ages (0-18 years old) and are passionate about establishing healthy dental habits so children will be able to keep healthy teeth for life.
Early childhood caries is the top chronic disease among Australian kids. Children’s teeth is much more susceptible to caries and cavities and cavities in primary teeth may affect the health of the permanent teeth in the future.

Educating our children to adapt a healthy oral hygiene routine is essential in maintaining their oral health as adults. Early dental visits can also help children develop a healthy disposition towards dental treatments.
Children are usually afraid of seeing a dentist and creating a secure and pleasant experience as their first visit is crucial. At Sage dentistry and cosmetics we understand the importance of children’s dentistry and our dentists and Oral health therapist are highly skilled in treating children.
