Understanding your child's teeth

It’s easy to assume that baby teeth don’t require much attention because they will eventually fall out – but they play a vital role in your child’s development. Healthy baby teeth support clear speech, proper chewing and digestion, and help guide permanent teeth into the correct position.

A healthy smile also contributes to your child’s confidence and overall wellbeing. By caring for baby teeth early, we help maintain space for adult teeth and reduce the risk of future dental issues.

Why kids’ dental visits matter

At Genuine Smiles, we focus on making dental visits a positive and relaxed experience from a young age. This helps children understand the importance of good oral health and builds habits that last a lifetime.

By identifying potential concerns early, many issues can be treated simply and effectively – often avoiding more complex, costly or stressful treatment later on.

Healthy teeth means healthy kids

  • Brush teeth and along the gum line twice a day
  • Drink plenty of tap water. Children do not need fruit juice or other sweet drinks
  • Limit sugary foods. Sugar is bad for you
  • Healthy meals and snacks are important for healthy teeth
  • Children should see an oral health professional by the time they go to school
  • Ask us how often you should visit the dentist
  • Wear a mouth-guard during contact sports or activities where there is a risk of injury to the face
