Have your children 👦🏻 👧🏼 had a visit to the dentist 🦷 yet? It is important for children to have their first trip to the dentist at around 12 months or as their first teeth erupt. It is a great idea to have some friendly familiarisation experiences early rather than their first dental experiences is due to tooth trauma from an accident or fall.

Is there anything better than a sunset? I don’t think so. Perfect end to the last week of school holidays for my two kids💕

TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR CHILDS TEETH HEALTHY 🦷 ✅

1️⃣ Brushing with a soft brush and children's fluoride tooth paste (from the age of 18 months)

2️⃣ Parents need to assist with brushing the teeth twice a day as a child's dexterity isn’t fully matured (even if they feel independent and say they can do it themselves)

3️⃣ Limiting sugar intake in foods as well as sticky foods such as honey, dried fruit and fruit straps.

4️⃣ Always drink water - no juice, cordial or soft drinks

5️⃣ Visit the dentist every 6 to 12 months

Thumb sucking

Thumb sucking .... looks so sweet, but it’s not always so simple.

Thumb sucking is not just about soothing or comfort - every child is different. I have learnt that the orofacial behaviours of our kids can not only effect the the development of their little faces and jaws, it can sometimes be an indicator that there may be other issues at hand.

We are proud to be the FIRST certified thumb and finger sucking clinic on the Mornington Peninsula. We help kids stop thumb and finger sucking the friendly way. We offer a fun and individualised program to empower your child to stop the habit for good.

I’m Kate from Thumbs Away and I’m here to help. I am a Dental Hygienist and an Orofacial Myologist. As a mum of two little ones I have a passion for oral health and the effects it can have on our children.
