Baby teeth and your child’s oral health
At Dentessential, we recommend bringing your child in for a check-up when their first tooth erupts. This is less about a formal check-up and more to familiarise your child with the dentist, the dental chair and letting them know visiting the dentist is a perfectly ordinary activity.
After your child’s second birthday we recommend coming in for a proper check-up to assess how their teeth are developing and to implement any necessary early prevention treatment.
What you can do at home
While baby teeth are not permanent, it is important to remember that healthy baby teeth will contribute to healthy adult teeth. If a baby tooth suffers decay and is left untreated, the decay can reach and adversely affect the health of adult teeth.
How often should my child brush their teeth?
When your child brushes their teeth they will only require a pea-size amount of toothpaste, and until they develop good coordination you will need to brush their teeth for them.
Did you know there is a way to potentially avoid the need for braces? Dentessential offers early intervention treatments.

TESTIMONIALS
I just recently got my wisdom teeth removed and I am already looking forward to coming back for some implants. I have always been afraid of going to the dentist, but the dentist was very kind and made me feel relaxed throughout the procedure. I'd recommend this place to anyone who is looking for excellent service at competitive prices.
Dentist visits aren't supposed to be enjoyable, yet I enjoy going to Dent Essentials. They provide outstanding customer service and professionalism, and they know how to make you feel at ease and well-cared for. You will not be disappointed if you visit this practice.
