Children should visit the dentist every six months for regular check-ups and cleanings. This helps maintain their oral health and allows for early detection and treatment of any dental issues.
To help your child feel comfortable, talk positively about dental visits, read books about going to the dentist, and bring a comforting toy or blanket. Our team also uses gentle techniques and behaviour management strategies to ensure a positive experience.
Encourage good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and ensure regular dental check-ups for professional cleanings and preventive treatments.
