Hello, my name is Ellie. I became a specialist paediatric dentist in 2022 from the University of Western Australia
Paediatric Dentistry in Brisbane
Paediatric dentists are trained to provide comprehensive dental care tailored to the unique needs of children, including those with special needs such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Dental Treatments for Children
Children with special needs or certain medical conditions require specialised dental care because they may have an increased risk of oral diseases. Paediatric dentists are skilled in diagnosing and treating conditions like early childhood caries, developmental abnormalities of teeth, and gum diseases.
Behaviour Management for Kids Dental Treatments
Children with ASD, ADHD, or kids with anxiety require special behavioural approaches. Paediatric dentists use techniques like 'tell-show-do', positive reinforcement, and, when necessary, sedation dentistry, including laughing gas and sleep dentistry, to ensure a comfortable and successful dental visit for children.
Sleep Dentistry using General Anaesthesia
For children who cannot tolerate dental treatment in a conventional setting due to very young age, severe anxiety, behaviour, or special healthcare needs, paediatric dentists are trained in sedation techniques and can perform procedures under general anaesthesia.
Common Dental Problems in Primary Teeth Necessitating Sleep Dentistry
Severe Tooth Decay or Cavities: This is the most common problem in primary teeth. When decay is extensive or the child is not cooperative, treatment under general anaesthesia may be required.
Dental Infections or Abscesses: These require immediate attention and can be challenging to manage in a traditional setting, especially if the child is in pain or uncooperative.
Dental Trauma: Injuries to the teeth and surrounding oral structures might need immediate and comprehensive treatment, often facilitated by sleep dentistry.
Congenital Dental Anomalies: Some children are born with dental anomalies that require complex and lengthy treatment procedures, making sleep dentistry a viable option.
Dental Care for Medically Complex Children
Children with systemic diseases like heart conditions, bleeding disorders, or immunocompromised states need specialised dental care. Paediatric dentists coordinate with other healthcare providers to manage these patients safely.
Management of Dental Trauma
Paediatric dentists are adept at managing dental injuries, which are common in childhood, ensuring appropriate immediate and long-term care.
Specialised Dental Materials and Techniques
They use materials and techniques suited for primary teeth (like stainless steel crowns and Zirconia dental crowns) and emerging permanent teeth.
Children with specific conditions like cerebral palsy, congenital heart disease, cleft lip and palate, or those undergoing chemotherapy also greatly benefit from a paediatric dentist's expertise. These specialists are adept at modifying their approach to suit each child's physical and emotional needs, ensuring effective and compassionate care.
