FAMILY DENTAL CARE

  • How to Take Care of Your Teeth: Tips for All the Family:
    While dental visits and brushing unite us, different age groups can need different dental care and hygiene practices. Here are some tips from our team to help the whole family look after their teeth properly.
  • Babies and Children:
    Childrens teeth emerge at around five months, with a full set of baby teeth present around age three. Adult teeth replace them between 10 and 12 years old. From emergence, its important to brush twice a day with a smear of toothpaste. Children may be reluctant to brush, so make it a game by singing a silly song or racing each other. The longest brusher wins.

  • Early Dental Treatment:
    We recommend that you establish a good routine of seeing t=the dentist as soon as the teeth appear. Children may be nervous and need encouragement at first. As a family-friendly surgery, we aim to make dental visits fun by encouraging children to relax and talk with us at their first visit.
    Developing a trusting relationship is important going forward as your child will become at ease in our environment.
  • Adults:
    Besides brushing twice a day, its advisable to floss to remove the food debris that brushing cant. Waxed, unwaxed and super flosses as well as interdental brushes are available and the type you use depends on the gap between your teeth.
    Prompt dental work is another way of protecting your teeth. Its common to fear extensive treatments such as dental bridges and worry about the time and cost of treatment, but avoiding dental work will set you up for further complications which are not just related to the mouth. Bacteria caused by poor oral hygiene can contribute to heart disease and digestive problems, as well as oral issues.
  • Older Household Members:
    Gum disease can become more prevalent as we age due to the build-up of plaque. This can cause gum recession and tooth loss.
    Prevention is much better than a cure, so we recommend brushing twice a day with an electric, soft bristle brush to prevent disease. You need to take extra care around dental bridges, crowns and fillings to ensure these areas are kept spotless.
    Regular appointments with our hygienise is an essential part of maintaining your teeth and gum health.
