Your dentist will take the time to discuss the best and easiest ways to incorporate healthy oral habits that will benefit your child for the rest of their lifetime.
Our advice:
- We recommend that your child has their first dental visit by the age of 1, but if they’re older don’t be concerned – it is never too late to take a hold of their oral health.
- Attend the dentist at least twice per year
- Carry out preventative treatments such as Fissure Sealants and Scale and Polish as advised by your dentist
- Minimise sugar intake by avoiding sugary snacks and drinks
- For children under two years of age brush their teeth with a toothbrush and water. There is no need to use fluoridated toothpaste unless recommended by your dentist
- For children between two to six years use a pea sized amount of 1000 ppm fluoridated toothpaste
- For children seven years and older use a pea sized amount of 1450 ppm fluoridated toothpaste
- Parents should supervise brushing up until the age of seven
We recommend that you bring your child to the dentist by their first birthday. This allows your child to become comfortable with the dental environment from a young age and means they are more likely to receive preventative and routine care before more complex treatment is needed.
It is never too late to take hold of your child’s oral health- so at whatever age you first attend our team will make sure to put your child at ease in a completely judgement free environment.
