Dental Care For Children

Your child’s early years are indispensable when it comes to instilling good dental habits and a healthy mindset towards their oral health for the future.

A significant part of achieving this is bringing them along to the dentist for routine check-ups from a young age. Here at Kt2 Dental, our team love inspiring and motivating children through positive reinforcement, so they can feel confident and willing to become independent with their oral and dental health routine as they grow older and graduate into adulthood.

What happens during my child’s dental check-ups?

We recommend bringing your child along for their first appointment around 2 to 3 years of age. Familiarising them with the dental practice environment will help them draw positive connotations with what it means to visit the dentist.

As their teeth grow, we will look for any abnormalities with their bite, so that structural issues can be addressed at an early age, and not be allowed to compromise their brushing routine as they grow older. Treating orthodontic problems early can also help your child develop confidence when it comes to smiling, speaking and forming new relationships with others are they grow older.

Why will dental check-ups benefit my child?

Dental check-ups are an opportunity for parents to learn more about how they can support their child’s dental development from home.
Our team are great with children and love working with them to find the fun and enjoyment in caring for their teeth.
We can offer friendly and non-judgemental advice if you’re struggling to get your child to eat the right foods and commit to brushing.
Any structural problems with their teeth are picked up early.

Signs of decay can be spotted before they become a serious problem. Decay remains the primary reason why 5-9-year-olds in England are admitted to hospital.
