Kids Club @ RFD
Kids Club @ RFD is a preventative oral health care concept, developed by Richmond Fine Dentistry, to ensure early intervention, no treatment or minimal dental treatment for your child from an early age.
What is Kids Club @ RFD?
The oral health team at Richmond Fine Dentistry will focus on developmental dental assessment, oral disease prevention and treatment to ensure minimal intervention and long-term happy faces in the dental chair.
Kids Club @ RFD will focus on a custom screening treatment module which means we focus on 6 monthly age-related oral health needs instead of a generalised yearly examination.
What makes this concept unique?
We focus on age specific dental needs. Children grow so fast and we can guide their oral health according to their unique needs at each age group to prevent any surprise invasive dental treatment at a later stage.

Monitor the age-related stages of tooth development:missing or impacted teeth. Early detection will allow the parent or caregiver to consider possible future treatment, should it be needed.
Early stage cavities:tooth decay is a gradual process that worsens over time however we can spot the warning signs that hugely affect this age group. We provide various minimal intervention options.
Orthodontic assessments:these assessments start around 9-12 and our Oral Health Team will give parents a heads up if possible orthodontic care is something that should be monitored.
Teenage Dental Health: Ages 13-17 years
It is important for teenagers to understand the importance of good oral habits to maintain their image and how other perceive them. It helps boost their confidence and allows them to focus on what matters in their lives.
All adult teeth are mostly present now:we value this important introduction to a life-long oral hygiene home care routine to prevent oral diseases.
Teenagers will receive their introduction to oral hygienein the same way we treat and maintain oral health for adults. Our team will do a comprehensive assessment of your teenagers’ teeth and begin to assess jaw bone health, gum health and decay prevention.
Many teenagers need special guidancewith their orthodontic appliances, and we can help make sure no cavities or gum disease form during their orthodontic treatment time. Gum disease is a big problem for teens and we can help prevent irreversible damage.
