looks after the oral health of children from infancy to the late teenage years, making sure that the teeth, jaws and gums develop properly and that great oral hygiene habits are developed along with preventing any early dental problems.
These simple, everyday practices lay the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health
These are more than just habits. They are the first line of defence for children against dental issues.
Schedule your child’s first dental visit by age one or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting. Early check-ups help identify and prevent potential issues.
Introduce brushing twice daily using a toothpaste containing either fluoride or hydroxyapatite. Both options strengthen enamel and prevent tooth decay.
Reduce sugary snacks and drinks as they a major contributor to tooth decay.
Children learn by watching. Make brushing and flossing a daily family routine.
Early Childhood Caries (decay) can interfere with eating, speaking and learning. Early dental care protects your child’s health and development.
Preventative care is less expensive and more effective than treating advanced dental problems later.
Taking small steps early on can make a big difference in your child’s oral health journey.
