Braces For Kids: When Is The Best Time To Start Treatment?
Braces are a common orthodontic treatment for both children and adults. They are used to correct misaligned teeth, improper bites, and other dental problems. While braces can be a significant investment of time and money, the benefits can be life-changing. For parents, it's essential to know when the best time is to start their child's orthodontic treatment. In Australia, the Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends that children have an orthodontic evaluation by the age of seven.
About Me
As a mum, I know how essential sport can be to children's development. Through team sports like soccer, kids learn persistence, sportsmanship and the value of supporting their team members. However, all that learning carries some risk as well, and a stray elbow or a ball to the face can result in oral injuries. I have been the mum rushing to the emergency room with a precious permanent tooth sitting in a cup of milk. Admittedly, at the time, I wasn't even sure if the cup of milk was the right solution. As a parent, you will face those situations, and I'm here to make sure you know what to do when they pop up. With this blog, let's explore children's dentistry and sports injuries together... I want you to have the info you need to stay cool, calm and collected, regardless of how many teeth are on the pitch.
