A child’s first or primary teeth are of great importance. Primary teeth can help pave the way for secondary teeth, enhance speaking ability and chewing function.

As a parent you play an active part in your child’s oral wellbeing and are the ultimate role model for their dietary and oral hygiene habits. We recommend working with your child from an early age to establish healthy eating habits and good oral hygiene techniques. By setting a good example from the beginning, you can help create a healthy routine for your child’s future.

Supervising your children while they brush their teeth is a beneficial technique in establishing good oral hygiene. That way you can be sure all of those difficult spots are reached, whilst showing support for this important step. A balanced diet, with children consuming foods from all sections of the healthy food pyramid, can also help to prevent decay while strengthening and protecting teeth.
