Children’s Teeth

Early dental visits help children normalise the dental environment and support prevention through supervised brushing, fluoride use and good diet habits.

Common questions

When should a child first attend?

As early as possible so dental visits become normal and preventive advice can start early.

How long should brushing be supervised?

Children generally need supervision until at least around age 7.

Should fluoride toothpaste be used?

Usually yes, using the correct amount and strength for the child’s age and risk.

How often should children attend?

Intervals vary by need, but regular preventive reviews are important.
