🦷✨ Brush, Brush, Hooray! Sparkles says "Twice a Day Keeps Cavities Away!" ✨🦷
Did you know that brushing your child’s teeth twice a day — once in the morning and once before bed — is one of the most important steps in preventing cavities and keeping smiles healthy? 😁
🔹 Morning brushing removes plaque and bacteria that build up overnight
🔹 Nighttime brushing clears away food and sugars from the day
🔹 Regular brushing builds healthy habits that last a lifetime!
Tips for parents:
✔️ Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste
✔️ Supervise brushing until your child can do it well on their own (usually around age 7–8)
✔️ Make it fun — try a brushing song or a two-minute timer! ⏳🎶
Healthy habits start early. Let’s keep those little smiles bright and strong! 🪥💙

🍼 Parent FAQ: When should your child visit the dentist for the first time?
The "dental home" should begin by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth—even if it’s just one tiny incisor! 👶🦷

Early visits help us catch enamel concerns, guide parents on brushing baby teeth, and build fearless dental habits from the start. 💙

🏊‍♂️ Did You Know? Pool Water Can Stain Teeth! 🦷

If your child swims regularly, they might be at risk for swimmer’s calculus—brown or yellow stains that appear on the front teeth from frequent exposure to pool water that’s more acidic than tap.

✅ Pro tip: Have them rinse with plain water after every swim session to help protect their smile.

📸 And don’t forget to schedule a professional cleaning before picture day—let’s keep those teeth sparkling!

Fuquay Pediatric Dentistry in Fuquay-Varina, NC, offers safe, fun dental care for children of all ages and special needs. New patients welcome!

😬 Is your child grinding their teeth at night? It’s more common than you think—about 30% of children deal with bruxism, which can cause wear, discomfort, and more.

At Fuquay Pediatric Dentistry, we take those subtle signs seriously. Custom night guards and airway screenings can make a big difference for your child’s comfort and oral health. 🦷💤

🛑 Watch for These Signs:
1️⃣ Audible grinding during sleep
2️⃣ Flattened or worn-down molars
3️⃣ Jaw pain or morning headaches
4️⃣ Increased sensitivity
5️⃣ Earaches without infection

📞 Call us today for guidance or a gentle evaluation.

❓ FAQ WEDNESDAY:
Did you know baby teeth do way more than just chew? They help guide jaw growth, hold space for adult teeth, and keep your child’s speech development on track. 👶🦷

Losing them too early can lead to crowding and expensive orthodontic treatment down the road. That’s why we recommend:

✅ Brushing twice daily with a rice‑sized dab of toothpaste
✅ Scheduling gentle checkups every 6 months (with fun stickers, of course!)

At NC Pediatric Dentistry, we’re here to make dental care easy, fun, and effective for every stage of your child’s smile. 💙
