How to Prevent Cavities in Kids

Start Good Habits Early

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems in children, but they are also highly preventable. Building good habits early sets your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Brushing the Right Way

Help your child brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, and supervise until they can do a thorough job on their own, usually around age seven.

Make brushing fun with a timer or a favourite song so it becomes a habit they enjoy.

Smart Snacking

Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and offer water and tooth-friendly foods like cheese, fruit and vegetables between meals.

Regular Dental Visits

Six-monthly check-ups at Tooth Talez let us spot early signs of decay and apply preventive care like fluoride and sealants.
