Dental Care for Children
As your child progresses through different stages, it’s important that you guide them through good oral practices, as their teeth are theirs forever. For many parents, the process can become a bit confusing.
We hope this article helps to clarify crucial stages, but feel free to send us a message if you have any further questions.
A few last pointers:
- Ensure toothbrushes are thoroughly rinsed after brushing and shake off water to help dry.
- Rinsing under fast running water will help remove toothpaste, food and any plaque left behind.
- Store the toothbrush upright in an open container to allow it to air-dry.
- Do not share toothbrushes between family members. One for each family member so that decay causing germs will not be shared.
- You should replace toothbrushes every 3-4 months, or when the bristles get worn or frayed.
