About The Video
In this video, Dr Erin introduces the range of dental services offered for children and why they are important. She highlights the value of six-monthly checkups, where dentists not only examine the teeth but may also recommend additional tools such as x-rays for a fuller understanding of a child’s oral health. Dr Erin reassures parents about the safety of dental x-rays, noting that they use very low doses of radiation and are only taken when needed.
She also discusses how these visits provide an opportunity for parents to understand their child’s dental needs and raise questions. By creating a supportive environment, Dr Erin ensures children feel comfortable while receiving the care they need. Her guidance helps parents appreciate the role of regular checkups, preventive care, and open communication in maintaining strong, healthy smiles for their children.
Children’s dentistry covers more than just treating problems. Regular checkups every six months allow dentists to monitor development and detect issues early. Sometimes, x-rays are recommended to provide a clearer picture, though they use very low radiation and are considered safe for children. Preventive care, combined with ongoing guidance for parents, helps children build trust with their dentist and form lasting healthy habits. These services ensure that oral health is supported at every stage of growth.
