Dental check-up’s

It is generally recommended that kids see a dentist for the first time by their first birthday, and thereafter for twice-yearly dental check-ups. This way they get introduced to proper dental care habits from a very young age and tend not to be as fearful as when they are introduced at a later stage. It also ensures that cavities are picked up at an early stage, often needing minimal intervention, and in many cases might not even need injections to work on if still contained in the nerve-free enamel. This combined with proper dental hygiene care at home and diet, are the keys to ensuring pearly whites throughout childhood. 

Dental cleanings

Except for being a good oral hygiene practice, regular 6 monthly dental cleanings, is a good way of introducing a child to the sound and feel of the dentist working inside their mouths in a fun way, by ‘tickling their teeth clean’, leaving them with a positive experience.
