A guide to your preschooler’s oral health

Start them off on the right path

As your children get older they become more aware of their appearance. They want to look good and feel confident. 

Having great teeth as an adult starts with your preschoolers developing healthy habits when they are toddlers.

Toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day reduces cavities and improves oral health. It also avoids them needing to have expensive dental treatment when they become adults.

So now is the time to start.
