Here’s the single most powerful habit you can build with your little ones: The 2 x 2 Rule! ⏱️✨
​Why 2 minutes morning and night?
☀️ Morning Brush: Sweeps away nighttime plaque buildup and protects teeth against food acids throughout the day.
🌙 Evening Brush: Removes the day's food particles so bacteria don't sit on enamel for 8+ hours while they sleep.
⏳ Why 2 Full Minutes? It takes about 120 seconds to give every surface—front, back, and chewing tops—the attention it needs!
​💡 Pro Tip for Parents: Use a fun 2-minute sand timer or play their favorite 2-minute song to turn brushing time into a quick mini-dance party! 🎶
​Need to book your child's end-of-year routine checkup before school holiday schedules fill up? Give us a call!

Getting our miles in at Riverside parkrun! 🏃‍♀️💨
​We’re clocking in the training miles for Kaapsehoop, but zone 2 easy runs stay easy, even when getting smoothly overtaken by a stroller! Respect to the stroller speedster for keeping our race strategy humble.

What toothpaste should your kids actually be using? 🪥✨
Choosing the right toothpaste can be confusing with so many options on the shelves! Here is what we recommend as dental professionals:

1️⃣ Choose an Age-Appropriate Fluoride Toothpaste: Always look for a fluoride toothpaste formulated for your child's age group to help strengthen enamel and fight off Sugar Bugs! (Popular local options like Colgate Kids, Aquafresh Little Teeth, Sensodyne Pronamel Kids, or Aquafresh Big Teeth all make it easy to match the right option on the shelf).

2️⃣ Pea-Sized Portion: You only need a pea-sized dab on the brush.

3️⃣ Spit, Don't Rinse! Teach your little ones to spit out the foam without rinsing with water right away. This leaves a protective fluoride shield on their teeth! 🛡️

Got questions about your child's dental routine? Drop them in the comments or pop by the practice!

🧀 Fun Fact!

Snacking on cheese is actually great for your teeth!
Cheese helps remineralise your enamel by boosting calcium and phosphate levels in your mouth.

Pair it with a plain cracker, and you've got a tooth-friendly snack that's both tasty and smile approved!✨️😁
