When you think of dental care for your little one, you might picture a friendly dentist peering into their mouth, making sure everything is sparkly clean. But did you know there’s a special group of dental professionals who are particularly skilled at working with children? They’re called dental therapists, and at Aurora Dental, they’re the unsung heroes of your child’s dental health journey.
What’s a Dental Therapist?
Before you start imagining a dental therapist as someone who gives teeth a pep talk about flossing, let’s clarify what they actually do. Dental therapists are highly trained professionals who can diagnose dental issues, plan treatments and perform a range of procedures for both adults and children.
Think of them as dentists’ trusty sidekicks, only they’re fully capable of taking the lead, especially when it comes to children’s dental care.
Why Your Child is in Great Hands with a Dental Therapist
You know how children are often a bit more…let’s say, wiggly in the dentist’s chair? That’s where dental therapists shine. They have a special knack for working with kids, making them feel at ease while ensuring their teeth get the royal treatment. From white fillings on permanent and baby teeth to the (occasionally) necessary extraction of baby teeth, they’ve got it covered.
At Aurora Dental, we believe in a team approach to dental care. Depending on the treatment your child needs, they might see one of our dentists, dental therapists, or hygienists. But for general dental care, it’s usually our dental therapists who’ll be there, ensuring your child’s smile is healthy and bright.
The “Painless” Plan: What Happens During Your Child’s Visit
When your child visits our dental therapists, it’s not just about checking for cavities or counting teeth. It’s about creating a fun, stress-free experience that encourages lifelong healthy habits. Your child’s general dentist is always available to oversee their care and step in for more complex treatments, but for routine visits, the dental therapists take the lead.
Think of it like this: if your child’s mouth were a theme park, the dental therapist would be the friendly guide, making sure everything runs smoothly and everyone has a good time, without any of the scary rides!
