The ‘Healthy Families, Healthy Smiles’ Initiative
Proper dental care and oral health are essential during pregnancy and early childhood. It sets both Mum and bub up for a lifetime of overall health and well-being, and Lifetime Holistic Dental will get you off on the right foot.
Tooth decay is Victoria’s most common health problem. One in every two children have a decayed tooth that is 50%! , making it the second most common diet-related disease in Australia. Tooth decay can occur as soon as teeth erupt, and the side-effects of tooth decay include pain, foul breathe, disturbed sleep and poor eating habits and will last a lifetime.
Issues with oral health can also hinder speech development, which affects communication and even self-esteem. Dental problems are also the third most common cause of preventable hospital admission for children under the age of five.
Pregnancy and Oral Health
Expecting mum’s need their oral health to be in perfect condition. Gum disease in the pregnant mother is linked to low birth weight and premature birth, and your oral health can also affect your child’s tooth decay rates. So if you have noticed your gums bleed when you brush or floss, or you are concerned about bad breathe please, for your babies future health, give Lifetime Holistic Dental a call on 9529 2920, so your worries and concerns or perhaps dental disease can be controlled before baby is born. Making sure your mouth and your partner’s and parents’ mouthes are optimally healthy, to give baby the best start in life.
Why Choose Our Family Dental Clinic
- We make a visit to the dentist fun and positive for you and your kids. This relationship is vital in creating healthy dental habits.
- Dr Darby has created an education program with expectant and new mums that will give you the information you need to give your baby the best start to their dental health. They get their bacteria for their mouth and gut from their parents and the people they come in contact with in the first 8 weeks. So we want these people to have healthy bacterial flora in their mouths.
- By bringing your kids along to us, we can monitor their facial growth and development, and breathing and swallowing behaviour, which is vital to the success of non-extraction orthodontics to address tooth and jaw development issues. Our approach reduces the need for braces by up to 50%!
- Our take home care and information packs mean you and your family have both the products and the knowledge to take charge of oral health.
