DENTAL CARE FOR CHILDREN IN LEEDS CITY CENTRE & PUDSEY
When Should I Take My Child To The Dentist?
Although your child does not need to see a dentist until their first milk teeth have arrived, the more times your child comes for a visit, the less daunting it is for them. Attending our comfortable practice to watch a parent have regular check-ups is an excellent way to introduce your child to dental visits

What Should I Expect At My Child’s First Appointment?
We aim to build a trusting relationship with you and your child first and foremost. We’ll chat with your little one with language that they understand and make a routine visit fun for all involved.
During the fun, we will give positive oral health advice on brushing, diet, development of teeth, tooth decay risks and much more. No visit to the dentist is complete without a treat for our star patient.
HOW TO BRUSH
Tooth Brushing Tips For Babies
Use a tiny smear of toothpaste for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old, and a pea-sized amount for children aged 3 to 6 years.
Gradually start brushing your child's teeth more thoroughly, covering all the surfaces of the teeth. Do it at least twice a day: just before bed and at another time that fits in with your routine.
Not all children like having their teeth brushed, so you may have to keep trying. Make it into a game, or brush your own teeth at the same time and then help your child finish their own.
The easiest way to brush a baby's teeth is to sit them on your knee, with their head resting against your chest. With an older child, stand behind them and tilt their head backwards.
