Dental care for children is so important to us that we decided to devote a separate page of this website to them. John Muirhead has young children and so appreciates the importance of looking after teeth properly from an early age. It really does pay to get into good habits, as evidence shows that healthy teeth through childhood and the teenage years will usually continue throughout one’s lifetime.

We try to educate without preaching. In accordance with our holistic approach to dentistry, this includes talking to children about the importance of a reasonable diet and advice on things that are good for us – and things that aren’t! Drinking more water instead of fizzy drinks, cutting down on snacks and particularly sugary food and eating more fruit and vegetables. Together with regular brushing, flossing and visits to the dentist this adds up to the perfect recipe for healthy teeth and gums.
This all ties in with the healthier lifestyle that society is trying to promote, from awareness of health issues to controlling obesity. We strongly believe that getting our children into good habits from an early age will make it easier for them to continue a healthy lifestyle for the rest of their lives.
… and what better start in life can we give our children than this?
