      How do I get my children to brush?

      A common method that we have adopted is to use a brushing reward chart. Using a colourful chart to motivate children to bring about behaviour change is often used by paediatric psychologists. Brushing reward charts are available from the surgery for free to our patients.


      My child's permanent teeth are erupting while the baby teeth are there. What do I do?

      In some cases it may be safe to leave them to naturally exfoliate, but more often than not the underlying cause of why this happened needs investigating. Most of the time over retained baby teeth are often linked to an over crowded mouth that may need orthodontic treatment at a later stage.


      How much will it cost?

      Our fees are set in line with the costs of providing excellence in quality dental health care. Having said this, at your first appointment, a treatment plan will be prepared for you outlining the optimal treatment for you with details of all costs and number of appointments required.


      Why does it seem my child's second teeth are more yellow?

      Parents often ask this in the surgery, also adding "are they not brushing as well as they should be?" In times gone by baby teeth were called 'milk teeth' because of their colour likeness. Adult teeth do seem darker especially when they are able to be directly compared to an adjacent baby tooth. This is thought to be a good sign as there are greater deposits of minerals & salts in the enamel.


      When are teeth supposed to erupt?

      Teeth erupt in a generalised pattern and each child is a little different. The chart below is an excellent guideline but remember, babies or children have not seen this chart! If you have any concerns please feel free to ask.


      Should my teeth be white?

      Teeth in adults contain a mixture of yellow, red and grey colours with a wide variety of shades and hues. It is normal for healthy unfilled teeth to darken and yellow with age. Teeth in adults contain a mixture of yellow, red and grey colours with a wide variety of shades and hues. It is normal for healthy unfilled teeth to darken and yellow with age. Over bleaching has been known to cause opacity, translucency and sensitivity issues.


      Why are baby teeth important?

      There are a variety of reasons: To enable normal development of the jaw and permanent teeth. To maintain space for permanent teeth. To assist development of good speech including the "s" sound. To develop a positive self image. Keeping deciduous teeth healthy have other benefits including freedom from pain and discomfort, as well as financial savings.
