A child’s baby or primary teeth are of great importance and require a lot of care.

Baby teeth can help path the way for secondary teeth, enhance speaking ability and assist with chewing function.

There are many ways to prevent dental problems in children. Some of these Preventive aids many include;

Fluoride
Toothpaste with added Fluoride is one of the most effective ways to prevent tooth decay. Having Fluoride applied directly to teeth during a check-up with Dental Excellence is also highly beneficial.

Fissure Sealants
Acting as a shield, a Fissure Sealant helps seal out decay causing bacteria from the chewing surface of back teeth. Fissure Sealants are generally clear or tooth-coloured in appearance and are acrylic-like in texture. We recommend that Sealants be applied once the six year old molars appear.

Mouthguards
When playing any form of sport, mouthguards are essential. Facial injuries in nearly every sport can result in damage to teeth, lips, cheeks and the tongue. Mouthguards cushion the blow to the face and neck. At Dental Excellence the Mouthguards are of the highest possible standard. It is better to play it safe with a Mouthguard than face a devastating, painful oral injury.

Diet
Your child’s diet can play a vital role in their oral health. For dietary advice, please speak with one of our hygiene team during your next appointment. Our hygiene team will work with your child to establish healthy eating habits and good oral hygiene techniques from an early age.
