The Importance of Children’s Dentistry
Just like adults, children need proper dental care. They are at greater risk to dental emergencies and several dental problems that can have life-long effects.
Our Leichhardt dental team detects dental issues early and prevents them from progressing.
Early diagnosis helps parents monitor their children’s health status.
Underlying dental issues may cause serious health problems if left untreated.
My Local Dentists Leichhardt is dedicated to educating children about the importance of dental health. It’s important that they have proper oral hygiene as early as one year old.
