HEALTH & WELLBEING
A healthy smile starts young
with Tina Dhankhar Round Corner Dental
Habits that are formed when we are young , often stay with us throughout our lives .
Behaviors such as healthy eating , exercise and looking after our mental wellbeing , often carry through from childhood to adulthood .
It is the same with our oral health . Looking after our teeth and gums from an early age , not only reduces the amount of dental treatment a child needs , but also leads to a much healthier mouth in adulthood .
Here are some tips for setting up good oral health in children :
Make brushing fun – Letting your child pick a toothbrush with their favourite character or colour will encourage a positive association with brushing . Making teeth cleaning fun by singing a song or positive reinforcement for good brushing habits can help .
Limit sugary drinks - One of the biggest factors influencing decay is what we drink . Limiting sugary drinks such as juice , soda and sports drinks greatly reduces the risk of decay .
Fluoride - It is beneficial for everyone to drink fluoridated water , but
it is especially important for children , because the fluoride gets incorporated into teeth as they form , making them more resistant to decay .
Visiting the Dentist – We recommend that you take your child for their first dental visit at about age 3 or4 . This is usually a friendly “ getting to know you ” appointment where the child can have a ride in the chair and get used to the dental environment .
This will help set up a positive relationship between the child and dentist , which ( if we are lucky ) is a relationship that often extends well into adulthood .
