Specialist services
We also care about your child’s oral habits. At Kiddies Dental Care, we provide specialised paediatric dental services in Melbourne, supporting children with thumb sucking, tongue thrust and other oral habits using gentle, evidence-based techniques tailored to each child. For further information on tongue ties and breastfeeding support, visit the Australian Breastfeeding Association.
Thumbsucking treatment
Thumb and finger sucking may be normal for very young children, and will generally stop around 2 and 4 years of age. If your child is still thumb or finger sucking when their adult teeth begin to come through, there is a higher chance of problems with their teeth and jaw structure. Our paediatric dental services Melbourne team provides supportive thumb sucking treatment to help guide healthy jaw and dental development.
Infant Tongue tie
Tongue-tie is a condition present at birth in some newborns and although tongue-tie affects only approximately 4% of children, it can have a profound impact on the way a child breastfeeds, eats, talks or swallows. Even for infants, tongue-tie can be treated in a simple, fast and highly effective way. Through our paediatric dental services Melbourne, we assess and manage tongue ties that may affect feeding, speech and swallowing.
