Q&A Fridays🥳

Today, we have concerned parents wondering if their child can use fluoridated toothpaste. And the answer is yes!

The use of fluoride is a safe and effective way to prevent tooth decay in your child. Fluoride keeps teeth strong and healthy 🪥💪.

Fluorosis occurs from chronic and excessive exposure to fluoride to developing teeth and can look like bumpy white spotting of the teeth

To prevent fluorosis know fluoride levels in your drinking water before receiving fluoride supplements and always monitor your child when tooth brushing, be sure to spit out toothpaste.

Q&A Fridays🥳

A question that is definitely asked is when your baby should go see the dentist for the first time. The answer is, by at least their first birthday!

This does not mean that any treatment will be performed on your child, but instead to monitor the development of the teeth and gums. But, to also start building a positive relationship with the dentist. Seeing the dentist regularly can help monitor the teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy and if any signs of potential problems arise, they can be treated earlier when they are small and (usually) easier to fix.

Q&A Fridays🥳

For today's question, we are discussing what Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is and the benefits of it!

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a liquid that can be painted onto cavities, hardening them and stopping them from getting worse. SDF turns the treated cavities black, but the healthy areas of the tooth stay safe.

What you should know about SDF:
✅Safe for use in children
✅Painless
✅Affordable and fast
✅Useful for people with limited access to dental care
✅Not every cavity can be treated with SDF
✅Once children get SDF treatment, they might still need reapplication every 6 months
✅Children still need to brush their teeth 2 times a day even while getting SDF treatments to get the best results

Now introducing... Q&A Fridays🥳

For today's question, we are acknowledging dental treatment while a patient is pregnant. Many wonder if dental treatment is safe while pregnant... The answer is yes!

It is important to keep up to date with your dental care visits, even while pregnant, to avoid any dental complications (such as gum disease). Be sure to keep your dental team aware that you are pregnant during your visits to ensure any accommodations are met. Talk to the team about any concerns that you may have.
