As your children grow, they are also developing their attitudes toward situations in life, including dental visits. At Glo Dental, we believe in creating a positive dental experience that helps shape your child’s mindset. Our goal is to make dental visits fun and nurturing, ensuring that your child feels comfortable and at ease in our care.
We encourage you to bring your baby to your own dental visits so they can get used to the environment, becoming familiar with our practice and seeing that visiting the dentist is a normal part of life. It’s important to note that your baby should visit the children’s dentist in Cockburn Central or Beeliar as soon as their first tooth emerges or by their first birthday—whichever comes first.

Oral Hygiene Tips for Babies and Children

After feeds and before bed, gently clean your baby’s gums with sterile gauze or an infant washcloth. It’s also important to only give your baby water in the bottle before bedtime, which can help prevent baby bottle tooth decay.

Until age 3, we recommend brushing your child’s teeth for them, and we can teach you simple and effective brushing techniques. As your child grows, you can allow them to brush their own teeth, but we suggest that you supervise them to ensure good habits are formed early on. This encourages autonomy and helps foster motivation and enthusiasm for their dental care.
