🧠 Dental Trivia Tuesday!
True or False: Baby teeth have thinner enamel than adult teeth.

✅ TRUE! And that’s a big deal.

Thinner enamel means baby teeth are more vulnerable to cavities, especially between the teeth and along the gumline. Combine that with sugary snacks, juice boxes, and inconsistent brushing, and little smiles can be at risk before they even hit kindergarten.

💡 Pro Tip for Parents:

Start brushing with a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste as soon as the first tooth comes in

Floss once two teeth touch

Keep up with regular cleanings every 6 months — even for toddlers!

Early care makes a lifetime of difference.

❓When should my child start flossing?

Answer: As soon as two teeth touch!

Daily flossing helps prevent cavities between teeth — even in baby teeth. Start early, and it becomes second nature. 🙌

🚨 Oops! A Dental Emergency? Here’s What Parents Should Know.

Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth on the playground or sudden tooth pain at bedtime, dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them.

Here’s a quick guide to help you stay calm and confident:

👶 For a knocked-out permanent tooth:
Rinse gently (don’t scrub!), place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk—and call us immediately.

😣 For toothaches:
Rinse with warm water, check for food stuck between teeth, and apply a cold compress if there’s swelling. Avoid aspirin directly on gums.

🩹 Chipped or cracked tooth:
Rinse, save any pieces, and give us a call. We’ll guide you on what to do next.

📞 If you’re unsure, always call our office at (904)-733-7254—we’re here to help with emergencies big or small. Your child’s smile is in good hands!
