One of the most common causes of early decay in children is "baby bottle decay." This usually comes from children having frequent access to liquids other than water outside feeding times. Even diluted juice can give cavity-causing bacteria everything they need to grow. Water is best!

Surprisingly, there’s no consensus on the correct order for brushing and flossing, although some research suggests that flossing first may be the most efficient way to remove plaque. Parents should help children floss as soon as two teeth begin to fit closely together. Whether you prefer to brush and then floss or floss then brush, we want to make sure that our patients are doing both!

Calcium is crucial for healthy teeth! Teeth and bones are made mostly of calcium. Both are constantly remodeling through the resorption and deposit of calcium, which means that they rely upon calcium intake to power the process that maintains healthy bones. Sugar-free Yogurt is an excellent way for kids to get the calcium their teeth and bodies need. Mix in fresh fruit for some extra flavor!

Thumb sucking, especially past the age of four, can cause long-term damage to the development of the mouth and proper tooth alignment (not to mention that it also introduces bacteria and viruses from not-so-clean hands.) We suggest encouraging your children to stop by using positive reinforcement. For example, you might consider using a star chart and placing a star when you “catch” your child without her thumb in her mouth! Offer a small reward for a specific number of stars gained in a week. Positive reinforcement and praise will make your child aware of thumb-sucking and motivate them to stop.

During sports and other physical activity, it's important to remember to protect teeth and dental work with mouthguards. Not using a mouthguard can result in broken teeth, damaged gums, and other oral injuries. Protect your teeth!

When your child skips flossing, they miss cleaning 30% of the surface of their teeth! Many cavities get their start in areas that a toothbrush simply cannot reach. In addition to brushing for two minutes, twice every day, don’t forget to help your children floss! :)
