Why Kids Should Learn Flossing Early

October 14, 2014Dental Videos, Penrith Dentist SydneyBy Dr Frank Meshkani (dentist)

Here’s a 3 minutes and 28 seconds Why Kids Should Learn Flossing Early video. See full transcript below.

Learning how to use the dental floss at such a young age can be a bit complicated for your little ones. Then again, it is a skill that you should be able to teach them so that they can enjoy healthy smiles as they grow up. Even if their baby teeth will just fall off in time, it is still important that they develop the habit of flossing their teeth as this can significantly help them in maintaining utmost dental and oral wellness.

Dental care experts suggest that parents should teach kids about the basics of flossing by age 2 to 6, as their baby teeth begin to fit closely with each other. At first, you can do it for them while giving them instructions and reminders on how to do it, until they learn to do it by themselves. Make sure that you are using a soft and flexible dental floss to avoid doing harm to their delicate teeth and gums. By age 10, kids are expected to know how to floss properly.

For more expert advice on the well-being of your kids’ teeth and gums, consult your trusted dental care partners here at Penrith Dental Clinic. Your caring dentist in Penrith aims to make sure that you and your entire family can enjoy healthy smiles by providing you with the most comprehensive dental and oral health care possible.

Friendly, informative and professional.It was my first experience of needing a tooth filling. To reduce the anxiety of the experience Dr Soltani provided comfort in explaining the steps through the process. There was no pain during the procedure and something that felt really scary ended up being a simple process. That’s how you know you have found a great dentist!The only helpful feedback to provide would be to provide mouth wash at the end of the process instead of water. Overall a great experience.

I am so grateful to the team at Penrith Dental Clinic from their service both over the phone and the helpful and friendly service face to face. Sabrina was amazing with my four children and made them all feel very comfortable and relaxed during their check up. The team are all amazing and so helpful from start to finish. My five year old now has a new best friend and can’t wait to come back for our next visit! ;-) thank you all for being so lovely and welcoming.

This was the first time our little girl has been to the dentist. She was very nervous and anxious. From our very first contact at the front desk, the receptionist was very reassuring and tried to ease her fears about seeing Dr Azadi. Dr Azadi and her assistant were very attentive to her and did not just rush through the procedure. They took time to explain things to me, and then to my daughter so that she knew exactly what they were going to do and reassured her that they would stop whenever she needed a break. They were also very encouraging and reassuring throughout the entire procedure. By the end, my daughter was happy and she was even eager to go back for her follow up appointment. I highly recommend Penrith Dental Clinic!

My partner an I have had an extraordinary teeth whitening service from Penrith Dental. We were first hesitant with the in-chair cost however we had sought professionalism and simplicity. We thankfully received both and are happy with their services. Particular health care services may also cover some expenses!~Quick pro tip~Bring some Panadol and headphones while waiting for the process of whitening to be completed.
