Children and family

Dental checks, habits, tooth development, and everyday family dental care.

What is normal, and what needs attention?

Use this category when the concern feels closest to:

A knocked, moved or injured baby tooth after a fall should be assessed carefully because it can affect comfort, gums and developing adult teeth.

Toothache in children can come from decay, eruption, gum inflammation, trauma or infection, and some symptoms need urgent advice.

A child dental check-up helps assess tooth development, habits, decay risk, gum health and any concerns parents have noticed.
