Meet Amelia and Reggie Boy, who came to visit us last Friday!
Amelia is used to coming into the surgery, as she’s been coming in since she was really small. Now she’s four and a half! She’s really confident around the place, but even so she likes to bring along Reggie Boy too for company.
Amelia’s dentist checks her teeth and gums every six months, and gives her advice about how to look after her teeth. Amelia, her family and her dentist want her teeth to last her a lifetime. As well as learning about cleaning her teeth, Amelia already knows healthy eating choices are important to protect her teeth.
So far Amelia hasn’t had a filling, and she’s hoping to keep it that way.
We love having children visit! So please come and see us!
- babies should visit the dentist after the first tooth comes through, and before turning a year old
- young children should get used to visiting the dentist before they have an accident or problem
- everyone should see the dentist every six months, or as often as the dentist recommends
