“Mis-aligned” teeth often show up in your early years too...Our West Malling Orthodontic treatments catch these problems early enough to correct the alignment for straighter teeth in your adult life - the bonus knock on effect is your teeth are easier to clean so you are less likely to suffer dental problems if you clean your teeth regularly.
Your Adult teeth which start coming through around age 6, are weak for the first few years after they appear. This is the second most vulnerable time - especially since sugary and “hidden sugar” laden snacks and drinks are popular and highly damaging if consumed between meals or before bed. We ask you to fill in a “Diet Analysis Sheet” to mutually work out the best tasting and healthier substitutes.
Fruit juices like apple and orange have more calories per ounce than soda, but tossing a splash of 100% juice into some sparkling water keeps the calorie count low and still maintains a perky sweetness. It's also carbonated, so it closely matches the consistency of soda.
