Do your child’s teeth matter?

Since every child is different, children’s dentistry has a wide range of approaches to help a child complete needed dental treatment.

At Norlane Dental Surgery, we provide comfortable dental care and a comfortable environment for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I clean my baby's teeth?

A soft-bristled toothbrush, especially those designed for infants, is the best choice for infants. Brushing teeth at least once a day, at bedtime, will remove plaque bacteria that can lead to tooth decay.

At what age should my child have his/her first dental visit?

“First visit by first birthday” is the general rule. To prevent dental problems, your child should see a paediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, usually between 6 and 12 months.

My child plays sports. How should I protect my child's teeth?

A mouthguard should be your top priority on your child’s list of sports essentials. Athletic mouthguards, are made of soft material and fit comfortably to the shape of the upper teeth.
