Use toothpaste with fluoride for infants and children
For children younger than 3 years, you should begin brushing a child’s teeth with fluoride toothpaste in an amount no larger than a grain of rice. For children 3 to 6 years of age, use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Consider sealants to prevent decay or treat beginning cavities on the back teeth
Dental sealants act as a barrier to prevent cavities. They are a plastic material applied by a dentist to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay occurs most often. To read the entire article visit MouthHealthy.org.
The American Dental Association has created informative videos called Ask the Dentist. Here is their video on: 'My Child Has a Toothache. Should I Call the Dentist?'
Your kids will feel comfortable in our office, as we put them at ease with our caring and friendly team. We use the latest techniques in children's dentistry, and they forget their worries in our compassionate care. We teach them good daily hygiene for their teeth and gums so they will have their own teeth for a lifetime. We enjoy their first visit at one year, and every year thereafter as they grow and change.
We want all children of this and future generations to be able to come to their dental appointments without any fear. Our parents have informed us that we are accomplishing this goal! We are a happy office to visit, and your children will enjoy their appointments even if they have had traumatic experiences in the past.
