Protecting children’s teeth from decay and erosion is one of the most important elements of maintaining good oral health. The months of October and December can be especially worrying for parents or guardians as the number of sugary treats on offer often increases. Therefore, here are some tips and advice to help children’s teeth stay as protected as possible. Pearl also offers children’s check-ups for professional intervention.

Protecting Children’s Teeth

Where possible, replace sugary drinks with water or drinks with less sugar content. Preferably sugar-free.
Ensure that a dental hygiene routine is in place so that children can follow this. Also, always supervise this to help build confidence and to ensure that it is being carried out effectively.
Limit the number of sugary snacks that your child has on a daily basis. The NHS recommends that this is kept to a maximum of two.
Adults should set a good example by also adhering to these points. Children learn a lot from observing their parents or carers.
Ensure that regular dental check-ups are attended.
Dental sealants are also available from a dental professional to protect the teeth on a daily basis.

If you would like to register as a new patient or book a children’s check-up appointment then you can call the clinic on 020 8003 4460. You can also make use of our online booking system, or email us for an appointment. In addition to this, emergency dental issues do not always need an appointment. Patients can simply walk straight in for a prompt and effective service. Children must be accompanied by an adult throughout any dental appointments. We look forward to seeing you very soon, here at Pearl Dental Clinic.
