Children's Dentistry
At Aberdeen Dental Centre, we understand the unique needs of our youngest patients. Our children's dentistry services are designed to provide comprehensive dental care in a fun and comfortable environment. We believe that positive early dental experiences are crucial for establishing lifelong healthy dental habits.
The Importance of Early Dental Care
Early dental care is essential for your child's overall health and development. Regular dental check-ups from a young age help prevent tooth decay and other dental issues, ensuring your child's teeth and gums remain healthy as they grow. We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears.

Tips for Parents
Parents play a vital role in their child's dental health. Here are some tips to help you support your child's oral hygiene at home:
- Start Early — Clean your baby's gums with a soft cloth before their first tooth appears. Once teeth emerge, use a small, soft-bristled toothbrush made for babies.
- Brushing — As they grow, ensure your child brushes their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Help them brush until they are old enough to do it effectively on their own.
- Diet — Encourage a balanced diet with limited sugary snacks and drinks to prevent cavities.
- Regular Dental Visits — Book regular dental check-ups every six months to monitor your child's oral health and catch any issues early.
