Friendly and experienced dentists in Sedgley

Services offered by all children’s dentists in Dudley and across England are free for under-18s and under-19s in full time education. The dentist you choose for your child is critical. Not only are their teeth, mouth and jaw growing and developing, but dental hygiene habits that will last a lifetime are too. Make the right choice by selecting Sedgley Dental Care for your children.

When Good Oral Hygiene Should Be Introduced

It’s never too early to begin teaching your child that dental hygiene is important. Even before you spot that first tooth, you should wipe their gums with a soft cloth after a feed. Once teeth begin to arrive, buy a soft toothbrush designed specifically for babies and begin routine teeth cleaning! Your first visit to our dental clinic should be between the ages of one and two, so that we can get a head start on keeping teeth healthy and instilling good habits for the future.

As paediatric dentists, we can also offer detailed advice on taking care of your child’s teeth on a regular basis at home. This includes effective brushing and flossing, as well as advice on diet and habits to be avoided, such as thumb sucking or going to sleep while suckling on with a bottle.

Regular Dental Check-Ups and Familiarisation

By keeping visits to the surgery light-hearted and regular, you can teach your child that there is nothing to fear from the dentist! For our part, we have a great deal of experience in setting children at their ease and talking them through what will happen, so they understand what to expect.

Remember, the care that’s taken of primary teeth affects healthy development of their adult teeth, so it’s well worth looking after them from the earliest stages. For advice on care of your child’s teeth or for answers to any of your questions, call us and make an appointment today.
