We all know to brush our children’s teeth twice a day and floss, but 55% of 6-year-olds had experienced decay in their baby (deciduous) teeth and 48% of 12-year-olds have experienced decay in their permanent teeth.
Things to avoid
Ways to improve oral health
Healthy habits equal healthy mouths
Habits start from a young age so overall if you as a parent are demonstrating good oral hygiene habits your children will be a lot more receptive to it. Include them in your routines and let them help. Do these routines together and encourage good behaviours.
Also, encourage your child to have a positive perception of the dentist. We are happy for them to come along at a young age for a ride in the chair. Our gentle dentists will help your child feel at ease. If you have any questions please call us as we are always happy to help!!
