With the help of a quality children’s dentist in Geelong, parents can set their youngsters up with great oral hygiene habits that will last a lifetime.
At Aberdeen Dental Care, our experienced dentists know that starting young is the way to go in the battle against tooth decay, gum disease and other dental issues.
It’s about arming kids with a good toothbrush and tooth paste. It’s about teaching them correct brushing and flossing techniques. And it’s about the priceless partnership with parents who supervise and nurture these positive habits with their little ones at home in those crucial early years.
The saying goes, prevention is better than cure and we agree. We urge parents to introduce their kids to a children’s dentist in Geelong by their second birthday. Starting the visits while they are toddlers gets them used to preventative dentistry techniques, the look and sounds of the clinic and the chair. That first ‘ride’ in the dentist’s chair is a rite of passage and sets a relaxed tone for future visits.
Our dentists are passionate about children’s oral health. We want dental examinations to be low-stress affairs for youngsters. We want them, and their parents, to ask questions about caring for their teeth and gums. Our team is always happy to respond with practical, helpful advice and tips they can use at home to keep their teeth and gums in good condition.
Do you want advice about how often your children should brush their teeth? Or how to correctly use the toothbrush? What about flossing techniques for when the kids get a little older? And what age should they actually start to floss? Should they wear a mouthguard for junior sport? Is thumb sucking going to affect their teeth? And is mum right when she says to lay off the lollies and fizzy drink? For all these questions and more, our experienced and friendly team can help.
Getting kids used to brushing their teeth twice a day, flossing daily and watching their sugar intake is important. If they develop good habits and knowledge from an early age, they are giving their teeth, gums and mouth the best chance possible for a healthy future.
So if you need a children’s dentist in Geelong, you know where to turn. And that’s Aberdeen Dental Care. Please contact our clinic to book an appointment and help your children on their journey to developing good oral hygiene habits.
