By Dr Laura Hunter-Shaw As a mum of a now one year old and a dentist, I have realised that nobody really tells you how to start to care for your baby’s teeth - and how difficult it can be! Here are a few tips that I have learnt this year which have made things slightly easier for us! *Start as Soon as Their First Tooth Arrives* - Decay can occur in a tooth as soon as it breaks through into the mouth. Brush twice a day, every day! It doesn't have to be for 2 minutes to start with, but getting a toothbrush with some toothpaste on it in the mouth is essential! *Have a Routine* - Do it at the same points in the day, every day! Last thing before bed and in the morning (it doesn't really matter whether it's before breakfast or after breakfast but be consistent). We brush after breakfast, before we walk the dog and after his bedtime milk during a story. *Get a Brush They Can Hold* - One with a chunky handle works great as they can grasp it better. If it is too fiddly they will just drop it and it makes getting them to engage more difficult! *Start With a Children's Mild Mint Toothpaste* - Use a flat smear of fluoride toothpaste (with at least 1000ppm fluoride) until they are 3 years of age. Unfortunately older child/adult toothpastes are minty. If you always give your child a minty form of toothpaste they don't know any different and will be a lot less upset when they realise you can't get adult toothpaste in bubblegum flavour! *Brush Your Teeth at The Same Time* - Baby's love to copy, if you are brushing your teeth, they are much more likely going to want to brush theirs! If they want to, let them have a go at brushing your teeth too - fair's fair! *Sit on the Floor or a Chair Behind Them* - It's a much easier angle and as if you are brushing your own teeth. It is comfortable, you have much more control, it is safer if they try to throw their head back (we've all been there) and everyone is more stable! *Persevere* - No baby likes having their teeth brushed initially. They cry, they scream, they wriggle. But all of a sudden one day they will just let you do it. It is much easier to have this argument when they can't run away, it's easier to hold them still and when they won't remember it! The quicker you make it a routine and normal, the easier you will find getting them to do it as they get older - I hope!! All parents and guardians are advised to ensure that young children in their care are taken to see a dentist as soon as their first teeth come through, and before their first birthday so they become familiar with the experience. Their first visit might be to accompany you or someone else in the family for a routine appointment. If you are worried about going to the dentist, you might also like to ask your partner or a grandparent to attend. It is important that you are positive about your forthcoming visit so that your child does not become unduly anxious. Don’t worry if your child doesn’t want to open their mouth on the first visit to the dentist. The important thing is they get used to being in a dental practice while you have time to ask the dental team for advice on caring for your child’s teeth. Your child should see a dentist regularly. Until their 18th birthday, we usually recommend they visit the dentist every 6 months to keep an eye on how their teeth are developing and any problems can be spotted early making treatment easier.

Why become a dental nurse? Listen to what our team members say…… My name is Stacey, and I am a qualified dental nurse, I have been at the Malting’s dental practice for 5 years’. Previously I had been working in a local gym and being a mum to my little boy. I decided to make a change, and wow it has been the best decision I have made. I am so grateful for the opportunities that the maltings have given me over the years. I started my dental nursing qualification in 2018, where I attended Nottingham college 2 days a month along with on the job learning each day, I completed this course within 18months. This enabled me to gain a level 3 qualification in Dental nursing that is recognised across the world. During my time at the Maltings, I have been fortunate enough to work alongside a dentist who has a busy NHS/Private diary, who also provides additional care in periodontal therapy. We have built the best working relationship throughout my time here and helped each other in many aspects of working life. I have also been given an ability to work alongside the oral surgeons who come into the practice to remove difficult teeth. I am proud to work for such a diverse and caring team here at the maltings, I will with no doubt continue to grow throughout my career as a dental nurse here at the Malting’s. Stacey Beardsley I have been a proud member of The Maltings Dental Practice team since 2008 and have worked as a dental nurse since 1992. During my career I have seen a lot of significant changes in the dental world and over the years dental nursing has become more than a job. I am always enthusiastic and passionate to provide the best care to patients and value all their needs with a desire to always give the best clinical care possible. Qualities required of a dental nurse include showing patients compassion and empathy, a caring nature is important. The Practice see the importance of our professional development and enhancement of skills with regular personal development meetings. This is extremely beneficial to the nurse, the patient and also the practice so we are able to meet the needs of the patients we care for. Since being at the practice I have gained extra qualifications in Radiography (Xray taking), Sedation, Delivering Oral health Education, Impression taking and application of fluoride. All these skills I can utilise at the practice on a day-to-day basis such as running my own clinics.  The most recent Skill I completed was the Sedation qualification in 2019, since then it has broadened more of my scope of practice and increased the areas of the job previously I was not involved with, the reward of this qualification is knowing that you are helping the most nervous of patients in receiving the care they need, helping people achieve something they didn’t believe they could otherwise do. To me this is very rewarding and the best part about my job. Susie Verow If you would like to consider a career as a dental nurse we would love to hear from you!
