Congratulations! Your child has reached the end of the 7 Day Dental Bootcamp. Some days will have been harder than others but all the lessons they’ve learned will stay with them as they grow up. These simple exercises will give them the knowledge they need to have a lifetime of good dental health (even if they don’t always use it!)
The last step is one that can easily be forgotten or postponed but is essential in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. If your child hasn’t seen a dentist in over twelve months – book them in for a check up and clean and polish. Your dentist will be able to advise on this. If your child has followed the 7 steps carefully, all their hard work should have paid-off and they’ll be ready to visit their dentist for a thorough inspection.
You can read some really useful information on how to handle visits to the dentist (whether it’s their first visit or not) in the fact sheet on Your Child’s First Dental Visit.
Prevention is always better than cure and regular dental check ups can catch any problems early and help maintain a healthy mouth. Remember, children who have regular dental check ups tend to have fewer dental problems.
