Regular dental checkups are important throughout life to maintain a healthy smile as well as minimising the risk of requiring treatment. It is almost never too early to get into the routine of six-monthly check-ups.
Children as young as two years old are advised to visit the dentist for regular check-ups, which also helps to familiarise them with their local dental team.
These check-ups are important to examine for decay, assess growth and importantly to instil lifelong oral hygiene routines. Regular check-ups will lead to early detection of potential problems and usually this results in minimal treatment required and reduces costs involved.
Taking your child to the dentist is a great opportunity for them to learn about proper dental care and hygiene.
Establishing healthy oral care early such as how to brush and floss effectively can help prevent dental problems later on in life.
Consistent dental care from a young age can help children develop positive associations with visiting the dentist and build a foundation for a lifetime of healthy oral care practices.
