We encourage you to introduce your child to the dentist as soon as their very first tooth appears (usually when they are around six months old). Early visits will help your child feel relaxed about attending dental appointments. Your dentist will offer helpful advice, including brushing and dietary advice.
A combination of regular visits to the dentist from a young age, developing a good dental care routine at home and encouraging a healthy diet will help keep your child’s teeth in great condition for life.
CHILDREN’S PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CARE
We have additional treatments to help new adult teeth have the best chance at lasting a long time. Fissure sealants can be used on the back teeth to prevent bacteria from entering the narrow grooves. We may also use fluoride varnishes to strengthen young teeth.
Some contact sports in school require a mouthguard. We can have custom-made mouthguards created from impressions of your child’s teeth, offering them the best protection.
CHILDREN’S ORTHODONTICS
We monitor the development of your child’s mouth and teeth, from the first exam. If there are any concerns with teeth alignments, ortho (braces) may be a great option to address any issues. We love to create a healthy smile for life.
Useful Information
Try to establish a healthy diet for your children from a young age. Limit sugary food and drink to mealtimes and aim to avoid anything that contains sugar in between meals.
Eat and drink everything in moderation; that includes fizzy drinks and fruit since both these things can cause erosion of the tooth enamel due to their high acid content.
Good oral hygiene will help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Children should brush their teeth twice a day with a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Ask your dentist about the best way to clean your child’s teeth, and make sure you supervise brushing up to the age of seven.
