- Preventative Care
Children’s Dentistry at Beecroft Smiles Dental Surgery focuses on promoting and preserving bright, healthy smiles through preventative dental care for our youngest patients.
During the initial visit, we conduct a thorough examination, which may include a cleaning and consultation. We inform parents about the proper eruption of their child’s teeth, identify any existing issues, and determine if extraction of baby teeth is necessary to facilitate the arrival of permanent ones. Additionally, we engage in discussions regarding potential orthodontic treatment, ensuring comprehensive care for your child’s dental health.

Growing with Your Child:
