The joys ahead with your Children’s Teeth in London SE1
06 / 10 / 2012
Kids are lovely aren’t they? Well, if you have just gone through the joys of childbirth, let’s hope you have done a lot of preparation in finding a dentist and signed up to and insurance plan as well, because your beautiful child’s teeth are going to cost a lot of money for treatments and also require a lot of vigilance from you as they grow. Teething will be your first hurdle and having a pediatrician next to you will help monitor how the teeth erupt into the mouth and how you can prevent them from suffering from decay and infection. This can also be the same when there secondary teeth come through, although by now, your child should be brushing their own teeth and be signed up to the family doctor. Tooth decay in children will always be a problem, because when they finally go off to school and are out of sight of you, they’ll be stuffing their faces with glorious sweets and all things sugary, so it’s vitally important they stick to dental check-ups at this age. The next hurdle may well be braces and this will be a testing time for you and them and again, if they require fixed braces, they are going to have to work hard at cleaning them as this is the time when their teeth are vulnerable to bacteria and plaque. This should be it, however, if you love your child enough to let them carry on living with you well into their late teens and even early twenties, you may have to be there to hold their hands when their wisdom teeth make a cameo appearance. Then you can finally kick them out onto the streets on London SE1!!
