WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR MY CHILD TO SEE THE DENTIST?
The most important thing with kids’ oral health and dental visits is to start early. Be it is seeing a Dentist or getting into the routine of proper brushing and flossing techniques. As soon as your baby’s first teeth erupt, schedule an appointment with your dentist. This is the perfect time for you and your child to get to know your dentist and start on early brushing and oral hygiene habits. Make sure you watch your kids brush and floss and talk to them about good oral hygiene. Once they start reading, get them some interesting books about dentists and the benefits of proper brushing and flossing.
PROPER TEETH BRUSHING TECHNIQUES
It is extremely important to keep an eye on your kids brushing techniques to make sure they are brushing all the teeth, not just the front and reaching all the way to the back molars. Introducing flossing is also important to prevent decay in between teeth. We know, it is not easy for kids to floss but as parents and dental professionals, we should always reinforce the importance of flossing, by showing them proper technique. Our Indooroopilly dentists at Heritage Dental Group will show children and their parents the proper techniques of brushing and flossing.
BE POSITIVE WHEN EXPLAINING DENTAL HEALTH
Always try to talk to your kids and reinforce positive outcomes of a dental visit. Tell your children that dentist will be checking the health of your teeth and gums, checking the number of baby teeth or adult teeth and making sure they have a healthy smile.
Our team at Heritage Dental Group in Indooroopilly, always strives to make your child’s dental visit informative, comfortable and full of fun.
With an early start to oral hygiene and dental visit, you are giving your child the best possible chance to maintain a healthy beautiful smile for life.
