FAQ: GAPS or NO GAPS? 🦷🦷

Which smile looks like the ideal spacing for baby teeth?

If you guessed #4️⃣you are correct!

Many parents assume straight baby teeth with no gaps are ideal and are often concerned about gaps or spaces between their toddler’s teeth.

If your toddler’s teeth are perfectly straight with no gaps, that might actually indicate potential crowding when the much larger permanent teeth replace them and try to find room to fit in.

Every child is different, and patterns can vary from child to child, which underscores the importance of your child’s regular visits with a pediatric dentist. We keep an eye on your child’s dental growth and development at every check up and will always discuss this with you and answer any questions you may have.

Rest assured, gaps or no gaps, your child’s smile is uniquely theirs, and perfectly beautiful!

👶🏼The recommends that, starting at birth you should clean your child’s gums with a soft infant toothbrush or cloth and water.

🪥Parents should use a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste to brush baby teeth twice daily as soon as they erupt, and a soft, age-appropriate sized toothbrush.

🦷Once children are 3 to 6 years of age, the amount should be increased to a pea-size dollop, and a parent/caregiver should perform or assist the child’s toothbrushing.

👧🏻Remember that young children do not have the ability to brush their teeth effectively. Controlling the amount toothpaste used helps prevent ingestion. Children should spit out and not swallow excess toothpaste after brushing, but avoid rinsing.

❓❓Be sure to talk to your dentist or hygienist if you have questions about which type of toothpaste your child should use.

➡️Be sure to share this with someone who needs a nudge!

👌🏽Zero judgement, we get it, but we thought it was worth sharing.

🩸While bleeding gums can also be caused by things like just starting the flossing habit, snapping the floss into the gums, or even medical, medication, and lifestyle factors, it is more often than not caused by not flossing regularly or flossing incorrectly (yes, even in children).

😖Bacterial plaque builds up in the areas between the teeth and under the gums where your toothbrush doesn’t reach, leading to an inflammatory response we call gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums, which includes bleeding when flossing and brushing, and with your dental cleanings.

➰The good news is, that as long as the inflammation is limited to your gums, it is reversible with a daily habit of flossing.

😊New habits are hard to stick to, but once you start and you realize how good your teeth and gums feel, you won’t want to stop.

🪞If you’re already flossing and your gums are still bleeding, be sure to ask your dental hygienist to review your technique and show you how to floss correctly to maximize the benefit.

💪🏼Build the habit, reap the results. You got this!
