Are you are looking for a family dentist?
Taking care of every aspect of your family’s life is something that you must do every day, especially if you have young children. It is vital that you take note of the health needs of any child in your care, ensuring that they eat nutritious and healthy food that will help them to grow into robust and strong adults.
We all know the importance of registering our children with a family doctor, this is something we do to enable them to have easy access to health care if they ever become unwell. As your children grow their health care needs become more complex and this means they may need to be introduced to other kinds of medical professionals including our dentist in Dartford.
We are certain that as caring and loving parents you teach your children about the importance of cleaning and taking care of their teeth and gums, by brushing them twice daily with toothpaste and avoiding overeating foods that are high in sugar and acid content. Yet, we all know that there will always be times when it would be best to seek professional advice and treatment that will help your children to maintain high standards in their oral hygiene.
Here at Smiledartford, our team of highly trained professionals are very experienced in the field of family dentistry, giving them the skills and techniques required to be able to help you to take care of your children’s oral health needs.
Oral check-ups for your children
By teaching your children at an early age about the importance of visiting our dentist in Dartford for their oral check-ups you will be giving them the ability to develop another good practice that will help them to look after and protect their teeth. Research has shown that when a child is given the opportunity to visit a dental practice at an early age, then they are more likely to develop the habit of visiting the dentist every six months for their oral check-ups, something that they will continue throughout their entire life.
We understand that some parents are concerned about how best to introduce their children to what they may see as the strange environment of the dental practice and the professionals that work there. This should be carried out in a way that your children can understand and that they feel comfortable with. There is no hard rule about what age to introduce your children to a dental practice, we advise parents to use their own judgement as we feel you know your children best and you will know when they are ready.
Do not worry if your child feels nervous and you are struggling to calm them down, our trained team will be more than happy to sit with you and talk to your children with you. It will be made clear to them that they will not be forced to do anything they do not want to do and that we only want to help them to look after their teeth and gums.
