Replace Your Child’s Toothbrush Every 3 Months

A simple habit that makes a big difference.

Replacing your child’s toothbrush every three months helps remove plaque more effectively and keeps bacteria from building up. Change it sooner if the bristles are worn or after an illness to keep smiles healthy.

Dental myth: Kids don’t get gum disease.
Fact: Children can develop gingivitis if plaque builds up along the gumline. Early signs like red, swollen, or bleeding gums shouldn’t be ignored. Healthy gums start with daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits.

Myth or fact? Only candy causes cavities.
Truth: Cavities are caused by bacteria feeding on sugars and starches, not just candy. Juice, crackers, and even sticky snacks can also increase the risk if teeth aren’t cleaned properly. Good brushing habits matter more than banning treats.

Myth or fact?
MYTH. Baby teeth are important for chewing, speech development, and holding space for adult teeth. Caring for them early helps prevent problems later and builds healthy habits for life.

Certified Specialist in Pediatric Dentistry

Dr. Schmidt became a pediatric dentist to make a lasting difference in children’s lives. In dental school, she found that her energy and humor gave her an edge on working with children. After receiving her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of Alberta, Dr. Schmidt went on to complete her General Practice Residency at SickKids Hospital in Toronto and her Pediatric Dentistry Residency at the Children’s Hospital of Colorado in Denver.

Dr. Schmidt is dedicated to helping your child become the happiest, healthiest version of themselves! She is passionate about empowering parents through open discussions and addressing any concerns to ensure families feel confident about their child’s oral health. When she isn’t at the office, Dr. Schmidt loves all things active, reading (mostly about teeth), and exploring all the new local restaurants with her husband.

First visit checklist for parents:
• Read a simple story about going to the dentist to help your child understand what will happen
• Practice opening wide at home so the visit feels familiar
• Avoid using words like “hurt” or “scared” to keep the experience positive
• Bring your child’s medical history and any questions you want answered
• Give your child a light meal beforehand and brush their teeth together
• Plan a calm, low-stress day so they arrive relaxed
• Celebrate the visit afterward to reinforce a positive experience

At Sprout Kids Dentistry, we recommend a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early checkups help little ones feel comfortable and set the foundation for lifelong oral health.
