OUR SPECIALIST PRACTICE
FIGHTS CHALKY TEETH
Our specialist practice takes a strong interest in Developmental Dental Defects (DDDs, or D3s), popularly called “chalky teeth”. We also participate in research about chalky molars and proudly support The D3 Group’s campaign to educate and support families affected by chalky teeth.
WE UNDERSTAND CHALKY TEETH
Our 'We Fight Chalky Teeth' Specialist Practice is aware of the problems associated with chalky teeth and stops at nothing to ensure best levels of care. We respect that special considerations need to be made not just for the dental treatments we apply, but also for the way we interact with our affected children and families. As specialist orthodontists, we work with your child’s paediatric or general dentist to determine the best plan for their chalky teeth, taking into account the type of bite and many other factors. We understand that chalky teeth often incur higher costs and so encourage discussion about financial solutions that work well for you.
WE KEEP UP-TO-DATE ON CHALKY TEETH (D3s)
To keep up with the latest information, our specialist practice belongs to The D3 Group whose mission is ‘Better understanding and care of people with chalky teeth’. This Australia-based international network brings together interested dental professionals, doctors, scientists and healthcare companies to share knowledge, discuss research needs, and formulate best standards of care and education. The D3 Group has a special interest in chalky molars (‘Molar Hypomin’), a disturbingly common problem that affects about 1-in-5 school children worldwide. And in case you’re wondering, ‘D3‘ is just another way of saying Developmental Dental Defects (DDD), which is the technical term for chalky teeth.
