At our practice in Kensington, we recognise the importance of instilling and encouraging good dental habits in your little ones from a young age. Part of that process includes providing comprehensive dental hygienist services for children which we offer alongside our regular checkups for children.

About our Dental Hygiene Appointments for Children

Children’s hygiene appointments at our practice include a thorough professional cleaning performed by one of our experienced dental hygienists or paediatric dentists. This process removes any plaque or tartar buildup from your child’s teeth, followed by a gentle polishing to eliminate staining, leaving their teeth clean, bright, and shiny!

As part of our children’s hygiene appointments, we also provide personalised brushing advice and techniques to help educate your child. This guidance empowers them to develop effective habits and maintain good oral hygiene between check up appointments.

How Often Should My Child Visit the Dental Hygienist?

Generally, we recommend that your child visits us for a dental hygiene appointment, once every four to six months. Regular visits can help us to detect any hygiene issues early and recommend any further treatments such as fluoride or fissure sealants. It also helps to build good habits with your little ones, getting them comfortable with the environment of a dental practice.
