Child Dental Care

 

When to see a dentist

It is recommended that all children visit the dentist when the first tooth pushes through or by 12 months of age. Taking a child to the dentist early and when there are no problems with their teeth, allows them to get to know their dentist, have a positive experience and make future visits more familiar.

All children should visit the dentist regularly (every six to 12 months) for a check-up, even if they don’t appear to have any problems. Visiting the dentist regularly can help prevention, early detection, and management of tooth decay.

 

 

Key points to remember

  • Children should have their first dental visit when their first tooth comes through.  
  • Children should see a dentist regularly, usually every six to 12 months, even if they have no problems with their teeth.
  • Children should brush their teeth twice a day, using toothpaste containing fluoride, from 18 months of age.
  • The main drink for children should be tap water – avoid sugary foods and drinks.
