Good oral hygiene starts as soon as your baby’s first tooth appears. As a trusted provider of Box Hill children's dental care, we recommend making oral hygiene a natural part of your child’s routine from an early age.
- Before teeth erupt, gently wipe your baby’s gums with a soft cloth twice a day.
- Once teeth begin to emerge, use a soft children’s toothbrush without toothpaste until the age of 18 months.
- Flossing is also important, even for young children. Our team can demonstrate flossing techniques tailored to you and your child.
Teething can be a challenging time, but using a chilled (not frozen) teething ring or a dummy may provide relief. Avoid using sweets like honey or jam on dummies or teething rings, as this can lead to dental decay.
