A child’s baby or primary teeth are of great importance!

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

Parents play an active role in their children’s oral wellbeing. At Coastal Dental Care we recommend working with your child to establish healthy eating habits and good oral hygiene techniques from an early age. A balanced diet, with children consuming foods from all sections of the healthy food pyramid, can prevent decay and help to strengthen and protect teeth.

To help facilitate your child’s first dental experience we have experienced Dental Hygienist / Therapist’s at several of our surgeries who are trained specifically to help make their visit the positive experience dentistry today should be.

As a parent you are the ultimate role model for your children’s dietary and oral hygiene habits. By setting a good example from the beginning, you can help create a healthy routine for your child’s future. Supervising your children while they brush their teeth is another beneficial technique in establishing good oral hygiene. By being with your children you can help them reach all the ‘tricky’ spots and show support during this vital process. Speak with one of our dedicated Dental Therapist / Hygienist’s or dentists at your next visit regarding the correct brushing and flossing techniques for your child.

Don’t wait until your child experiences tooth ache to visit us. By visiting Coastal Dental Care from an early age, it can help to eliminate the fear of the dentist. The happy, friendly staff at Coastal Dental Care will make your children feel right at home. We can even make dental appointments fun!
