Parent Tips

Simple habits for a lifetime of healthy smiles

1

Start brushing as soon as the first tooth appears β€” use a soft-bristle infant toothbrush and a rice-grain amount of fluoride toothpaste.

2

Avoid putting your baby to sleep with a bottle of milk or juice. The sugars pool around teeth overnight and cause bottle tooth decay.

3

Limit sugary snacks and drinks to mealtimes only. Frequent snacking keeps acid levels high and increases cavity risk.

4

Supervise brushing until age 7–8. Young children lack the fine motor skills for effective brushing on their own.

5

Make dental visits positive by using encouraging language. Avoid words like "hurt", "needle", or "drill" before appointments.

6

Ask us about fissure sealants when your child's first adult molars come in at around age 6 β€” it's the single most effective cavity prevention measure.

FAQ

Parent Questions,
Honestly Answered.

We know you have questions. Here are the ones parents ask us most.

We recommend bringing your child in within 6 months of their first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday β€” whichever comes first. Early visits establish a dental home and allow us to spot any concerns before they become problems.

Yes. We use digital X-rays which emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film. We also use lead aprons and only take X-rays when clinically necessary β€” typically once every 12–24 months for a healthy child.

Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and are essential for chewing, speaking, and jaw development. An untreated cavity in a baby tooth can cause pain, infection, and force early extraction β€” leading to crowding of adult teeth.

Absolutely. Our paediatric team is trained in behaviour management techniques including Tell-Show-Do, positive reinforcement, and distraction. We go at your child's pace and never rush. For very anxious children we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation.

Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste (rice-grain amount under 3 yrs, pea-sized from 3+), limit sugary snacks and drinks especially between meals, attend 6-monthly check-ups, and ask us about sealants and fluoride varnish at age 6.

We begin monitoring jaw and bite development from age 7. Early (Phase 1) orthodontic treatment between ages 7–10 can guide jaw growth, create space, and reduce the complexity of braces in the teenage years.
