Dental Care for Children: Hints & Tips For Healthy Teeth

Good Eating Habits

Want to protect your teeth from cavities? Cut back on sugary foods! These sweet treats are major culprits when it comes to tooth decay. To prevent damage to your pearly whites, try to limit your sugar intake overall and avoid snacking on sweets throughout the day.

Healthy Drinking 

It's important for kids to quench their thirst with tap water and to avoid sugary beverages like soft drinks, sports drinks, cordials, and fruit juices. Set them up for a healthier lifestyle by limiting their intake of these sugar-filled options.

Brushing Twice Daily

Make sure your kids brush their teeth twice a day with a gentle, thorough brushing action using a soft brush with a small head and fluoride toothpaste. This will help reduce plaque build-up and prevent tooth decay, keeping their gums and teeth healthy. Children under eight will need help brushing properly since they don't have the manual dexterity to do so on their own. Encourage good oral health habits from an early age for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

Floss Daily

Make sure your child has a healthy smile by flossing daily! Removing food and plaque from between teeth is crucial, especially in those hard-to-reach areas. To ensure success, supervise and assist your child in forming this important habit.

Regular Dentist Visits

Taking your child to the dentist every six months from age three is a great way to establish positive dental habits and prevent unnecessary fillings down the road. Don't wait until there's a problem - start prioritising regular check-ups today!

Wearing Mouthguards for Protection

Protect your child's teeth and play it safe in any sport with a custom-made, professionally fitted mouth guard. Mouthguards come in various colours, even in team colours! Wearing a mouth guard during training and playtime is crucial to minimize the chance of dental injuries.
