Looking after your children’s teeth

Did you know that we offer free examinations for children up to the age of 16?

With a recent BBC News article showing that nearly 40,000 children a year in England are having to have teeth extracted, we feel it’s more important than ever to help you protect your children’s teeth.

When you visit Bridge Dental Clinic with your child we can also give advice on how best to look after their dental health at home.

For a little extra help, and before you come to see us, here’s a video produced for the Childsmile scheme from NHS Health Scotland which tells you how to brush your child’s teeth.

 

Remember, children’s toothbrushes should be replaced every 3 months, or when the bristles start to become splayed. We’ve got a selection available at the reception and would be happy to help you choose the best one for your child.
