🍼 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!

Mebane Pediatric Dentistry in Mebane, NC, provides fun, safe dental care for children of all ages, including those with special needs. New patients welcome!

❓ 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. 💙

🍏 Smarter Snacks = Stronger Smiles! 🦷✨
Healthy habits start with what’s in your child’s lunchbox—and the right swaps can make a BIG difference.

✅ Instead of sticky fruit snacks, try crunchy apple slices—they naturally scrub teeth as your kiddo munches!
✅ Skip the candy bar and pack some cheese cubes—calcium helps build strong enamel.
✅ Say goodbye to sugary sports drinks—fruit‑infused water keeps smiles fresh and hydrated without the sugar crash.

At NC Pediatric Dentistry, we believe small changes lead to cavity-free checkups and confident smiles. 💙
