Why Baby Teeth Matter

Many people believe that baby teeth aren’t as important as permanent teeth, but this isn’t true. Baby teeth are essential for chewing, speaking, and creating the space needed for adult teeth to emerge. They are just as susceptible to decay as adult teeth, and poor oral hygiene habits during childhood can lead to long-term oral health problems. Bad dietary habits and improper oral care can carry into adulthood, increasing the risk of tooth decay and other dental issues. Regular dental check-ups at Hornsby Dental help ensure your child’s baby teeth remain healthy and set the stage for a lifetime of good oral hygiene habits.

The Role of Permanent Teeth

Did you know that children begin to get their permanent teeth as early as 6 years old? These teeth are designed to last a lifetime, and once they’re decayed, there’s no second set to replace them. Practising good oral care is crucial in keeping your child’s permanent teeth healthy and strong.

At Hornsby Dental, we provide tailored advice and care plans to ensure your child’s teeth remain cavity-free. We focus on teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques and guide you through healthy dietary choices that promote strong teeth. By starting good habits early, your child can avoid costly and uncomfortable dental issues in the future.

Early Dental Visits:

Why They're Important

The Australian Dental Association recommends children visit the dentist by the time they turn one or within six months of their first tooth. Early dental visits help children get comfortable with the dentist and ensure their teeth are developing properly. Regular check-ups allow our experienced team to spot potential problems early and prevent them from becoming more serious.

Our team at Hornsby Dental creates a welcoming, gentle environment to make sure your child’s experience is positive. We educate both parents and children on the importance of good oral hygiene, making every visit a learning experience that fosters a lifetime of healthy habits.
