Caring for your child’s teeth
Description:
It is important to protect your child from tooth decay and gum disease. As your child may have some poorly formed teeth, the rest must be kept in very good condition, as future treatment may be needed to straighten them.
Things to talk about:
- When do we start cleaning our child’s teeth?
- When should we enroll our child at the local dental therapist? How often should we go?
- What kinds of issues should we be looking out for?
- Should certain foods be limited in their diets?
Important information:
- Baby teeth can be jumbled, but this will not affect their adult teeth.
- Good home prevention is key to dental care.
- Amazing results can be achieved through the orthodontic and surgical work done later on in your child’s life. A normal arch of teeth is achievable with the techniques that are now available.
- Baby teeth can be jumbled, but this will not affect their adult teeth.
