Caring 4 Smiles offers Good Oral Hygiene as the Key to Good Health.
There is extensive and excellent research proving the fact that excellent Oral Hygiene is foundation to great health. Kids get early into "potty training" so they must also be "trained in plaque control". Many adults believe that baby teeth are disposable so why worry or invest in them. Baby molars drop by age 11, so they have every chance to rot and get abscessed, if they are not cared for from the earliest stages of childhood.

Dental abscesses send virulent bacteria coursing into the blood stream and these can cause rheumatic heart disease, heart valve damage, joint trouble and a lifetime of health issues. Simple and timely preventive oral hygiene eliminates all this misery.
-
At Caring 4 Smiles, our team of 3 Oral Therapists & Hygienists focus on children and adults to instill in them, good brushing and cleaning techniques. Alex, Zahraa & Teresa along with mum & dad, encourage the child, showing we are all on the same team and our joy is the beautiful smiles of growing children.

We are not contracted to the Health Department for "Free Child & adolescent Dentistry", but as every Kiwi knows, "You get what you pay for". Great preventive care that is individualized and tailored for YOUR darling child is cheaper in the long run of Life.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
