In need of a dentist for regular check-ups? We\u2019re inviting new patients to register and can take care of that. Would you like guidance on how to prevent certain problems? We can do that, too. Perhaps you\u2019d just like some teeth whitening or some other form of cosmetic treatment. Well, guess what? We\u2019ve got that covered for you, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental appointments for young patients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Children can start coming to us from a young age, when their first teeth start coming through. We simply take a look inside to see how the teeth are developing. It\u2019s a short appointment because we understand that young children are only just learning about coming to the dentist \u2013 some infants don\u2019t want to open their mouth to show their teeth!<\/p>\n<p>Bringing your child or infant to our <strong>dentist in Mackay<\/strong> is a good idea, though, because it gets them used to visiting the dentist. You can clean your infant\u2019s teeth with a baby toothbrush. There are some special toothpastes available for infants, too, and you can gently brush the early teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New patients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re joining us, it\u2019s a straightforward process. There\u2019s a simple medical history form to fill in and you can then book an appointment with one of our dentists. You\u2019ll be fully assessed and you can let us know what you\u2019re interested in achieving for your teeth. At our <strong>dentist in Mackay<\/strong>, we can offer assistance with most aspects of dental health.<\/p>\n<p>All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with<\/p>\n<p>one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having good teeth and gums is essential to your overall health and can bring about many benefits.
