After a dental extraction, it’s important to protect your child’s mouth as it heals. Here are a few key reminders:

• No rinsing, spitting, or drinking from a straw for several hours.
• Skip carbonated drinks for the rest of the day.
• Keep fingers and the tongue away from the extraction site.

Following these simple steps can help ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery!

Is your child grinding their teeth at night? Pediatric bruxism (teeth grinding) is common—and in most cases, it doesn’t require any treatment.

Most children outgrow it. Grinding typically decreases between the ages of 6 and 9, and often stops completely by ages 9 to 12. In some cases, if there’s noticeable tooth wear (attrition), a night guard may be recommended.

Long-term pacifier use, especially beyond age 3 or 4, can lead to dental issues such as misaligned teeth or changes in the structure of the mouth. At Caldwell Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend beginning the weaning process early to support proper dental development and a healthy smile.

Summer is a time for fun, travel, and sunshine — but don’t let your child's dental care take a vacation. Here are a few tips to keep your smile in top shape all season long:

✓ Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps wash away sugars and acids.

✓ Watch the sugar: Limit sodas, juices, sports drinks and sugary snacks that can wear down enamel.

✓ Stick to your routine: Brush twice a day, floss daily, and don’t skip your regular dental visits.

How can you help your child prevent cavities?

For older kids, make sure they brush their teeth at least twice a day — morning and night. Also, try to limit sugary snacks throughout the day. The more often teeth are exposed to sugar, the higher the risk for cavities!

When kids get thirsty, what they reach for can affect more than just hydration—it can shape their dental health for years to come.

The truth is, many popular drinks wear down enamel and invite cavities in faster than you can say “sip.” So what’s the smarter choice? Stick with the classics: plain water and plain pasteurized milk.

Loose teeth are an exciting milestone for kids—but they need a little TLC! Encourage your child to gently wiggle the tooth with their tongue or clean fingers.
Avoid pulling it out too soon—this can lead to pain, bleeding, or even infection.

Patience is key! When the tooth is ready, it will come out naturally.

Sports drinks may seem like a good choice during games or practices, but their high sugar content and acids can erode even fluoride-rich enamel, leading to cavities and long-term dental damage—especially in kids.

Encourage your child to hydrate with water before, during, and after sports. It keeps them refreshed without harming their teeth!

Caring for Baby Gums: The First Step to a Healthy Smile 🍼🦷

Even before your baby’s first tooth appears, their oral health journey has already begun! Start cleaning their gums from day one. After feedings, gently wipe their gums with a soft, damp washcloth or a silicone finger brush to remove milk residue and bacteria.

Dental Care Tip! As your child’s permanent teeth start coming in, it’s the perfect time to reinforce healthy habits:

✔️ Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
✔️ Floss daily
✔️ Keep up with regular dental checkups

These steps help prevent crowding, cavities, and other common issues during this important transition.
