Deciduous (milk) teeth are very important as they help guide facial growth. Early loss of baby teeth may cause significant problems with the adult dentition so it is important to look after them properly.

How to keep your Children's teeth healthy.
- Choose the right toothbrush. A small head with a good grip and with rounded tips
- Brush at least twice a day, after breakfast and just before bedtime
- Use the brush without water and with only a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste
- The sides and tops of every tooth should be brushed. You will have to help your child with the parts difficult to reach
- Wash the brush after use and store upright so it dries properly
