Top Tips For Looking After Your Children’s Teeth

Dental health is extremely important. An extensive dental hygiene routine is essential for maintaining the health of your teeth and keeping them in top condition, and this is an important message for all to take note of from a young age.

Starting your kids on a regular dental hygiene routine is imperative for helping them to learn the importance of taking care of their teeth as well as getting into the habit of doing so, so here are some top tips for looking after your children’s teeth.

1. Start young

It is never too young to start teaching your child how to brush their teeth properly. As soon as their first teeth come through at about 6 months, start brushing their teeth twice a day. You can use a tiny bit of adult toothpaste on a soft brush. Adults should brush their children’s teeth until at least 7 or 8 years of age. It is tempting to let your child start to do this before this age but a lot of adult teeth start to come through from about 5 and a half, so they must be kept as clean as possible.

2. Be a shining example

Children learn best from their parents, so you need to be an example to them. Make sure you have your brushing routine in check and when teaching your kids and brush your teeth alongside them. When your child sees you doing this, they are likely to copy you and get into the habit themselves. Reinforce the fact that sugary snacks can be bad for the teeth, but make sure you follow through with that yourself.

3. Make teeth-brushing a fun activity

Kids may not like or enjoy brushing their teeth. They may find it a boring task so, make it fun! There are several apps that you can download for free that can make it fun and time them for the full 2 minutes.

4. Take them to the dentist regularly

In order for them to get into the habit of maintaining oral health, make sure you schedule in regular trips to the dentist for your children so that they understand the importance of routine examinations, and so that the dentist can see that their teeth are in the right condition.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.

We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.

We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.

But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.

Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.

Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.

The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.

In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.

If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?

There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.

In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.

Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
