Childrens Dentist in Ellerslie, Aucklan

When is the right time for your child to visit the Dentist?

Don’t wait until your child experiences tooth ache to visit us. A child’s first dental check-up should begin just after their first birthday or the eruption of their first tooth. By visiting Gentle Dentists from an early age can help to eliminate the fear of the dentist. The happy, friendly staff at Gentle Dentists will make your children feel comfortable. We can even make dental appointments fun!

Children’s Dentistry is a completely safe technique and will help your child to achieve and maintain oral health. 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.

As a parent you play an active role in your children’s oral wellbeing and are the ultimate role model for their dietary and oral hygiene habits. By setting a good example from an early age, you can help create a healthy routine for your child’s future. Supervising your children while they brush their teeth is a beneficial technique in establishing good oral hygiene. A balanced diet, with children consuming foods from all sections of the healthy food pyramid, can also help to prevent decay while strengthening and protecting teeth.
