Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child start getting their teeth cleaned at the dentist?
Children should have their first dental cleaning around their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help familiarise them with the dentist and allow any potential issues to be identified early. Regular cleanings help prevent plaque buildup, cavities, and gum issues. Establishing a routine from a young age encourages good oral hygiene habits that can support long-term dental health.
Can teeth cleaning help prevent cavities in children?
Yes, regular teeth cleaning helps prevent cavities by removing plaque and bacteria that can cause tooth decay. Professional cleanings reach areas that brushing and flossing may miss, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Fluoride treatments during cleanings can also strengthen enamel. Combined with daily brushing, flossing, and a balanced diet, regular cleanings support strong and healthy teeth.
How can I encourage my child to take care of their teeth?
Making oral hygiene fun can help encourage children to take care of their teeth. Let them choose their own toothbrush and toothpaste, use a timer or a fun song for brushing, and offer praise or small rewards for consistent brushing and flossing. Setting a good example by brushing together and keeping regular dental check-ups helps reinforce good habits. Making dental care part of their routine can make it feel normal and easy.
