A practical session is designed to support parents and caregivers in navigating early dental care for children.
Date: Wednesday 15th October
Time: 10am - 11am
Duration: 60 minutes
Session Overview:
This practical session is designed to support parents and caregivers in navigating early dental care for children. Natalie will cover common barriers to children’s dental care, share early support and prevention strategies, and introduce practical tools and resources to empower families in making informed decisions about oral health.
The session will also touch on frequently asked questions from parents, including orthodontics, myofunctional therapy, tonsils and adenoids, and dummy/digit sucking, providing guidance on how these factors can influence oral development.
There will be time for a Q&A, and Natalie is happy to bring her mobile dental set-up for parents to explore and ask questions in a hands-on way. This session is designed to give parents confidence, practical strategies, and reassurance in supporting their child’s dental journey.
Please note: This session provides general information only and is not tailored to individual needs. Natalie is unable to provide personal treatment advice on the day due to medico-legal reasons. A full medical history and intake must be completed to provide personalised guidance.
