Seeing a child smile is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Their smile can be missing teeth, but it just doesn’t matter as it reflects the way they are growing- as we all did. But it is only made more poignant if you know deep in your heart that their teeth are healthy and that they are growing up healthy too. If you are bringing up your child in the city of Leeds, you obviously want to give them the best start that you can, and their teeth are just as important as their diet- in fact, both go hand in hand. But it can be a bit scary for you at first as there is a hell of a lot to learn about. Pediatricians are your best ally here and will help you through those tricky early years of teething and secondary teeth; they will teach you how to reduce the pain that your child may go through during this time, give you tips on what to look for and be there for you if things go wrong. Once you’ve got through this, a dentist will take over to ensure that your child doesn’t fall foul of the biggest danger of all- tooth decay. Kids love to indulge in everything that is bad for their teeth, because they adore everything sweet so their teeth need extra vigilance during this period. They also need to be taught how to look after their teeth with good brushing so that they can do it when you have your back turned. It’s not rocket science but it is significantly important: what you do for your child’s teeth during these growing years will impact on how their teeth develop and how they end up smiling in later life.
