How to Clean Your Child’s Teeth (With Mom’s Help!)

Proper brushing habits are key to a cavity-free smile:

🧼 Brush twice a day — after breakfast and before bed
🧼 Use floss picks to clean between teeth
🧼 Parents should brush for their child until they can write their name
🧼 Introduce fluoride toothpaste once your child can spit it out (age appropriate toothpaste)
🧼 Start dental cleanings with a hygienist from age 3

Healthy habits start young — with your help, your child’s smile can last a lifetime.

🦷 Why Do Kids Get Cavities?

Cavities in children usually come down to these 3 main causes:

1️⃣ Genetics
Some kids naturally have weaker enamel, making their teeth more prone to decay — it’s something we watch closely in check-ups.

2️⃣ Plaque Buildup
Not brushing properly lets plaque sit on the teeth, feeding on sugars and causing damage.

🪥 Tip: Brush twice a day (after breakfast & dinner), and parents should help until kids can write their name.

3️⃣ Diet
Frequent sugar, fruit juice, and snacks between meals create the perfect environment for decay.

💧 Water in school bottles, low-sugar diets, and smart snacking habits make a big difference.

Small daily habits = big long-term results! 💪

Preparing Your Child for a Dental Theatre Visit

Sometimes, if a child has multiple cavities or struggles to sit through treatment, we recommend completing all dental work safely under general anaesthetic in a theatre setting.

Here are a few important prep tips:
✔ No solid food or formula for 6 hours before
✔ Stop breastfeeding 4 hours before
✔ Clear fluids (like water or apple juice) allowed up to 2 hours before
✔ Bring a favourite toy or comfort item for extra reassurance

We work with a gentle, experienced team to keep your child safe and comfortable throughout.

🦷 Why Are Baby Teeth So Important — and Why Theatre Might Be Needed

Baby teeth (milk teeth) may be temporary, but they play a big role in your child’s overall health and development:

✨ Help with chewing and proper speech
✨ Hold space for the permanent teeth to grow in correctly
✨ Support jaw and facial development
✨ Prevent pain, infections, and issues with adult teeth

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, children may develop multiple cavities — especially in baby teeth. When this happens, and a child is too young or anxious to sit through several treatments in the chair, theatre becomes a safe and effective solution.

👶 Why Theatre Might Be Recommended:

🌟If there are multiple cavities in different parts of the mouth
🌟If the child becomes too distressed in the chair
🌟To complete all treatment safely and thoroughly in one session
🌟To prevent trauma or fear associated with dental visits
🌟To give the child a positive experience with no pain or pressure

In theatre, we use a trusted specialist anaesthetist, and we’re able to restore the teeth in a calm, controlled setting — giving your child the best possible care without stress.
