Babies

When and Where

We like to see babies for their first oral health appointment when they turn one. This could be an appointment in one of our fixed or mobile clinics.

Mouth Exam

Babies will sit on their parent’s knee while the oral health or dental therapist will check how their teeth are coming through. If there is anything of concern e.g. tongue tie, your dental therapist will discuss options with you.

Preventing Decay

If baby has enough teeth, the oral health or dental therapist may offer to apply fluoride varnish, to keep the teeth protected.

Tips and Tricks

The oral health or dental therapist will demonstrate correct cleaning techniques for baby’s first teeth and share tips to keep their teeth strong and healthy. You will be able to ask/discuss any questions you may have.
