Help your child start the school year with a healthy smile. Tips for daily care, tooth-friendly snacks, and our September Local Hero at Pinner Dental Care.
November 25, 2025
Hello Readers!
I've had a few requests to go back to a treatment focused column, so this month I will be answering your questions on how children can take care of their teeth now that summer holidays are over. Remember, if you have any other dental-related questions, please email me at smile@pinnerdentalcare.co.uk or pop in and see me anytime!
A: Healthy teeth help children focus better, speak clearly, and feel confident. Tooth pain or cavities can distract kids from learning and even cause missed school days. Scheduling regular dental check-ups ensures any problems are treated early, keeping smiles healthy and kids ready to learn.
A: Children should brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss once daily, and rinse with water after meals. Starting these routines from a young age builds good habits that keep teeth strong and breath fresh.
A: Include tooth-friendly snacks like cheese, apple slices, and other low-sugar fruits instead of sugary treats. If possible, pack a small toothbrush or encourage rinsing with water after lunch. Choosing water over soda or juice helps protect teeth throughout the day.
If your child hasn't been to the dentist in the last 6 months, book your child's dental examination and hygiene appointments at Pinner Dental Care today. We will help your child understand why taking care of their smile is so important and actually quite fun!
This month's community member receiving a complimentary Dental Hygiene treatment with Dr Rosh in recognition of their contribution to our local area is Matthew, a local horticulturalist who helped to raise vital funds for Mount Vernon Cancer Centre's Garden Fund, having received treatment at the centre himself. We look forward to welcoming Matthew to Pinner Dental Care!
To nominate next month's Local Hero, please email smile@pinnerdentalcare.co.uk by 28 October 2025.
