Children's Dentistry
It is easy for people to overlook the importance of children’s dentistry. If you do not care for your teeth from an early age, you will likely face various dental issues in the future that could easily have been avoided with simple checkups as a child.
Your children are at risk of plaque developing as soon as children develop their first milk teeth. You can ensure this is kept to a healthy minimum by making sure they are brushing twice daily and cutting them down on sugar intake, which will help them maintain good oral hygiene!

AT WHAT AGE SHOULD MY CHILD FIRST VISIT THE DENTIST?
Teeth can start to form in a child’s mouth when they are as young as six months old, and we recommend bringing your children in as soon as they begin to develop. Taking your children to the dentist as early as possible is essential as this helps them to get used to the environment. Many adults fear the dentist because it’s an unfamiliar surrounding. Getting children used to going at an early age will help them realise they have nothing to fear, and they can feel relaxed about visiting the dentist. It will become part of their normal routine. It will also help them to learn the basics of maintaining oral health, which should be taught from a young age.
DO YOU OFFER CHILDREN'S DENTISTRY ADVICE FOR TODDLERS?
Our dentists are trained to deal with patients of all ages so let our experts help you keep your toddler’s mouth healthy by teaching them all the best oral hygiene tips. It is good for children to be aware of the importance of good oral health early on to carry that knowledge into the future and avoid any major dental issues. Here at Guildford Smiles, we will teach your little ones how to use essential dental tools, tell them about proper brushing techniques, and give them dietary guidance on the best foods for a healthy smile.
WHAT MORE CAN I DO TO PROTECT MY CHILD'S TEETH?
At the age of six or seven, your children’s adult teeth should be coming through. When they do, we can apply a fissure sealant to prevent bacteria from building up on your child’s teeth. This will keep them healthy and stable as they grow into adulthood! It will also aid in preventing tooth decay and restoring enamel.
