Oral health is crucial for your child's overall wellbeing. Poor dental health can significantly impact their ability to eat nutritious foods, speak clearly, and socialise confidently. At London Dental Specialists, we emphasise that untreated dental issues can lead to pain, infections, and even affect school performance. Establishing good oral hygiene habits early creates a foundation for lifelong dental health, preventing serious complications and costly treatments in the future.
You should start cleaning your baby's mouth even before their first tooth appears. Gently wipe your baby's gums with a clean, damp washcloth after feedings. Once the first tooth emerges (typically around 6 months), begin using a soft-bristled infant toothbrush with a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice). This early care prevents bacteria build-up and helps your baby become accustomed to the routine of oral hygiene.
Proper brushing techniques vary by age:
Your child should have their first dental visit at London Dental Specialists when their first tooth appears or no later than their first birthday. This early visit allows our specialists to check for proper development, discuss nutrition and oral hygiene practices, and establish a positive relationship with dental care. Early visits help prevent dental anxiety and allow us to identify any potential issues before they become serious problems.
To help your child through teething discomfort, offer a clean, chilled (not frozen) teething ring or a cold wet washcloth to chew on. Gently massaging their gums with a clean finger can also provide relief. For severe discomfort, consult with our dentists at London Dental Specialists about appropriate pain relief options. Avoid teething gels with benzocaine for children under 2 years, as recommended by health authorities. Maintain regular cleaning of emerging teeth and gums during this period.
For better oral health, your child should avoid:
Instead, encourage water as the main drink, cheese and yogurt as tooth-friendly snacks, and limit sweet treats to mealtimes when saliva production is higher and can better neutralise acids.
Dental sealants are highly effective in preventing cavities in children. These thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth can reduce the risk of decay by up to 80% in the first two years after application. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend sealants soon after permanent molars emerge (around ages 6 and 12). Sealants are quick to apply, completely painless, and can last for several years with proper care, making them an excellent preventive measure for children's oral health.
To help your child overcome dental anxiety:
In case of a dental emergency, contact London Dental Specialists immediately on our emergency line. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse gently without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it or keep it in milk until you reach our office. For broken teeth, rinse with warm water and apply cold compresses for swelling. For toothaches, rinse with warm saltwater and use dental floss to remove any trapped food. Never place aspirin directly on gums or teeth. Prompt professional attention is crucial for dental emergencies to prevent complications and save teeth.
