A lifetime of healthy teeth and oral hygiene begins at a very young age. How a parent responds to dental health and procedures will greatly impact on how children treat their teeth for life. We want to create an enjoyable experience for our young kids.
During their very first visit, it might be as simple as a ride with mummy or daddy on the dental chair, to get familiarized with the surroundings.
With time, those routine dental visits will create great habits throughout life. We recommend that a child should have their first dental visit by their 1st birthday.
After all, prevention is the best medicine! We also look out for any aberrant habits and their management, and talk about preventative home care and diet counseling.
Decay, crowding and trauma are the most common problems that can occur in deciduous baby teeth. High sugar and acid diet and sticky foods, including juices and biscuits can dramatically increase decay risk. As well as what we eat, the times we eat can often increase chance of getting decay.
