Dental Management of Cleft Lip and Palate
The dental management of cleft lip and palate plays a key role in supporting your child’s overall health and development. Our dentists carefully monitor tooth eruption, jaw growth and oral hygiene from a very young age. Children with clefts are more likely to experience missing teeth, extra teeth, or teeth that are misaligned or poorly positioned.
We provide:
-
Routine monitoring and early assessment of dental development
-
Preventive care to protect vulnerable teeth from decay
-
Customised oral hygiene support and fluoride application
-
Paediatric orthodontic guidance to assist facial and jaw development
-
Collaborative treatment planning with your child’s surgical team
Our goal is to build confidence and comfort at the dentist while addressing the unique challenges associated with cleft conditions.
