Early Diagnosis& Management
ORTHODONTIC DENTISTRY
If habits that affect dental health are formed in early childhood then this can lead to bigger issues in later years. Our dentists are trained to identify the effects of these habits and can help to educate and train to reduce these habits in children and adults.
Some habits that early diagnosis & management can assist are:
- Lip licking
- Thumb and finger sucking
- Tongue thrusting
- Incorrect swallowing
- Mouth breathing
(enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids)
These habits can affect the growth and development of a child’s face and mouth and can be visible in adults.
Ask us about what we can offer to guide you or your child away from these habits and reduce the amount of dental work needed in the future.
Services
We can help you achieve that perfect smile.
For new patients who have come to see us for an early diagnosis & management consultation, we start by reviewing your dental and medical background information, X-rays of your teeth and mouth, and discuss your dental concerns.
Next, a thorough examination of your teeth will be conducted by your dentist so they can become aware of any dental problems you may be facing, thoroughly read your dental x-rays, and offer any suggestions for improving your overall dental health.
We will provide all the information you need to help determine which treatment is right for you. We encourage you to ask questions that you may have and these will always be addressed.
Bendigo Family Dental Care welcome all holders of Veteran Affairs Gold Cards as well as the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule. These are always bulk billed and will not cost you anything.
