Dr Chalita le Roux holds a BChD cum laude from the University of Pretoria and is a member of the South African Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry. She provides care personally, helping families discuss their child’s dental needs with the dentist who assesses and plans treatment. We assess each child in person before recommending care.
What happens during a child’s dental visit?
A visit usually begins with a conversation with the parent or caregiver about the child’s dental history, any discomfort, eating or brushing concerns, and what prompted the appointment. Dr le Roux then examines the teeth and gums, explaining what she sees in language suited to the child and family. If further checks are appropriate, she will discuss them with you.
The visit may include advice on brushing, diet, tooth development and ways to help a child feel more at ease at future appointments. Treatment is not assumed from a symptom alone: Dr le Roux assesses the child in person, explains the findings and discusses suitable options with the caregiver before proceeding.
When should I book a dental check for my child?
Consider arranging an assessment if your child has toothache, sensitivity, a chipped tooth, bleeding gums, visible marks on a tooth, or difficulty eating comfortably. A check-up can also help you ask about brushing, developing teeth and preventive care, even when your child has no obvious symptoms. If your child has significant pain or swelling, contact the practice during its treatment hours to discuss an appointment.
Children can feel worried about dental visits, especially if they have not been before. Tell the practice when booking if your child is anxious or has particular support needs. Dr le Roux can explain the examination and discuss an approach with you; what is appropriate depends on the child’s age, health and findings at the in-person consultation.
How does the practice make visits convenient for Allens Nek families?
The Amorosa, Roodepoort location is a short drive from Allens Nek via Hendrik Potgieter Road, making it practical to arrange a visit close to home. Seeing one dentist from assessment through treatment planning and follow-up can also make it easier for families to discuss their child’s care consistently.
The practice uses digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM technology for selected dental restorations. These tools are relevant when a child’s assessed treatment calls for a restoration such as a crown; many suitable crowns or veneers for appropriate patients can be completed in a single visit. This is not needed for every child or every dental concern, and Dr le Roux will assess in person whether it is suitable.
What should I know about children’s dental treatment and aftercare?
The right treatment depends on the examination, the child’s symptoms and dental development. Dr le Roux will explain the findings, the purpose of any proposed treatment, possible risks and alternatives, and what to expect afterwards. A parent or caregiver can ask questions and discuss the child’s comfort before deciding how to proceed.
Aftercare varies with the treatment. You will receive guidance relevant to your child, which may cover eating, brushing, discomfort and when to contact the practice if a concern arises. Follow the advice given for your child’s specific treatment, and arrange a review if recommended. We assess each case in person rather than relying on general advice alone.
