Oral health is essential to overall well-being, and starting early with children is vital to deal with any future phobias or anxieties about seeing the dentist later in life. A ride in the big space-age dental chair is a bonus too, for little ones! At Beech House Dental in Cobham, we provide top-notch dental care for children and families, ensuring a lifetime of healthy smiles.
We believe so strongly in good oral health in children that we offer free check-ups for all children under the age of 16 when the parent/guardian is a registered patient who regularly attends too.
The Importance of Children’s Dentistry
Children’s dentistry is crucial for numerous reasons. Not only does it help kids develop good dental habits, but it also enables early detection of potential problems. We understand the unique challenges of treating young patients. Our experienced team of professionals takes a gentle, patient approach, helping to make dental visits a positive and fun experience for kids. Many of our team have children at all ages so they are fully aware of the importance of regular visits to the dentist or hygienist and the nerves that go along with it.
Preventive Care
Preventive dental care is the cornerstone of our paediatric services. Regular check-ups and cleanings are essential in catching potential issues before they become problems. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants protect against cavities, ensuring your child’s teeth remain strong and healthy throughout their lives.
Orthodontic Evaluation
As children grow, their teeth and jaw structure may require orthodontic intervention. Our team can assess your child’s development and recommend the appropriate course of action, whether braces, space maintainers, or other orthodontic treatments. Getting these fixed as soon as possible (even from the age of 10 or 11) can help with self-confidence as children navigate puberty and become teenagers.
Mouth Hygiene for Children
Teaching children proper oral hygiene habits is crucial in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our team are highly experienced in guiding children, parents and guardians on the best practices for daily oral care for children of all ages. Regular appointments with the hygienist start good oral health habits but also help the children learn how to take care of their teeth with lessons on teeth cleaning and regular flossing.
Brushing and Flossing
Children should brush their teeth at least twice daily, using fluoride toothpaste for at least two minutes each time. Flossing can be introduced as soon as two adjacent teeth emerge. Our team can demonstrate the correct techniques and recommend age-appropriate toothbrushes and toothpaste for your child.
Diet and Nutrition
A balanced diet plays a significant role in promoting good oral health. We encourage parents to monitor their child’s sugar intake and choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables, and they will explain the best time of day to brush/floss their teeth.
