Healthy smiles start at home! Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste helps keep your child’s teeth strong and cavity-free.

🍼 For little ones under 3: Use just a smear of toothpaste—the size of a grain of rice.
👧 For kids 3 and up: A pea-sized amount is perfect!

One of the most serious forms of early childhood dental problems is baby bottle tooth decay. This condition occurs when an infant's teeth are frequently exposed to sugary liquids like milk (including breast milk), formula, fruit juice, or sweetened drinks.

If you must give the baby a bottle as a comforter at bedtime, it should contain only water. If your child won't fall asleep without the bottle and its usual beverage, gradually dilute the bottle's contents with water over a period of two to three weeks.

Caring for the Mouth After Trauma

If your child experiences dental trauma, here are key steps to support healing:

• Gently clean the area with a soft washcloth to keep it as clean as possible.
• Monitor for darkening of the tooth — this could signal a dying nerve.
• Apply ice within the first 24 hours to help minimize swelling.
• If swelling returns or infection (gum boils) appears, contact our office immediately.
• Stick to a soft diet for 2–3 days, or until eating feels comfortable again.
• Avoid sweets and anything extremely hot or cold.

We aim to make your child’s first visit relaxed and positive. If your child is old enough, let them know what to expect—our friendly team will explain everything and answer their questions.

Parents are welcome to stay during the initial exam. For future visits, we often build better rapport when children go back with our team on their own—but you’re always welcome to join if preferred.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a powerful role in dental health — helping to prevent tooth decay by up to 50–70%. 🦷

When used in the right amounts, fluoride strengthens enamel and helps teeth resist cavities. However, balance is key. Too little fluoride leaves teeth vulnerable to decay, while too much can cause issues like dental fluorosis.
