🦷Here are some facts about your child's early dental health:
- Baby teeth begin to fall out around age 6 but some are present until age 12!
-Thumb sucking and pacifiers aren’t problems. If these activities persist after age 3, however, consult your dentist.
-Dentists recommend cleaning a baby’s gums with a clean damp cloth after every feeding and brushing with a ‘smear’ or rice-sized dab of fluoride toothpaste after the first tooth appears. After age 3, a pea-size amount is recommended. Parents should supervise brushing until age 6 or longer.
-Kids should brush twice a day, just like adults, using toothpaste with the ADA Seal of Acceptance.
-Tooth decay is by far the most common oral childhood disease. You can minimize the chances your child will develop cavities or tooth decay. Provide only clean pacifiers; don’t dip them in sugar. Don’t lick a child’s spoon or pacifier to clean them—bacteria that lives in adult saliva can cause cavities in children. Don’t put juice or soda in a child’s bottle, and don’t put a child to bed with a bottle containing anything other than water. Also remember to limit sugary foods, juices, sports drinks.
-Dentists recommend that you bring your child in for his or her first check-up within six months of the appearance of the first tooth, and no later than the first birthday.
