Family Dentistry in Bryanston
Family Dentistry addresses oral healthcare at every stage of life. Children often have very different dental needs than adults. This means that family dentistry is intended to help you address your oral health needs, and those of your children, at every stage of life.
Family dentists understand that kids have different dental needs than adults, and they are trained to deliver specialised care to make sure that their unique oral hygiene needs are met.
Essentially, you can think of a family dentist as a “one-stop-shop”. One of the major benefits of a family dentistry office like ours is that the same dentist can take care of your dental health from infancy, all throughout childhood and the teenage years, into adulthood.

Paediatric dentistry
As a family dental practice, we pride ourselves on being very child friendly. Our vision is to make the dental experience as positive as possible for all the children we see. Dr Engelbrecht has a gentle approach so that children can develop a positive association with dental visits and build good oral hygiene habits for life.
Not only do we understand how children’s teeth change with age, but we also recognise that children may fear going to the dentist. Every child is unique, which is why we take great care to make them feel comfortable.
Children get their first baby teeth at around six months of age. We recommended that you bring in your baby for their first dental visit at six months or after the first tooth erupts.
Children start losing their first set of teeth at around 6 or 7 years old. These teeth are eventually replaced with permanent teeth. Children need to adopt oral hygiene techniques from a young age to prevent disease and tooth decay that may cause a lifetime of pain and complications.
We’ll provide you with effective tips on how to take care of your child’s teeth at home. This usually includes the proper way to brush and floss your child’s teeth and other information based on your child’s age and the condition of their teeth.
