It is important to look after your child’s mouth and your own.
Looking after your child’s oral health is as easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Provide a healthy balanced diet. Limit sugary food and drinks to mealtimes only.
2. Brush their teeth twice a day with family fluoride toothpaste. Spit out, do not rinse mouth out with water.
3. Visit a dentist regularly to maintain a healthy mouth.
