The American Dental Association recommends that a child’s first dental visit happen soon after the first tooth erupts — and no later than the first birthday.

Many parents wait until a child complains of pain or develops visible cavities, but dental problems can begin much earlier than most people realize.

Early dental visits help monitor oral development, identify signs of tooth decay, guide parents on feeding and brushing habits, and build healthy routines from the start.

Baby teeth are temporary, but they play a major role in chewing, speech development, jaw growth, and guiding permanent teeth into place.

Preventive dental care should begin early — not after problems appear.

Research has found that individuals who consume sparkling water with added flavors and citric acid, sip sparkling water continuously over long periods of time and replace fluoridated tap water with sparkling water may be at an increased risk of enamel erosion.

When flavoring and citric acid are added to sparkling water, the pH can fall, making them acidic. More acidic beverages can lead to greater tooth erosion, particularly if individuals consume them regularly.

Those who drink sparkling water should opt for unflavored beverages, use a straw to reduce contact with the teeth, consume the beverages with meals, rinse with plain water after consumption, and brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste at least 30 minutes after finishing sparkling water to minimize the risk of erosion and keep the teeth healthy.

National Dental Hygienists Week recognizes the important work of dental hygienists in promoting oral health and preventive care. They clean teeth, but they also look for other health issues like oral cancer and diabetes. Oral health is an indicator of whole-body wellness, so Renee and Jessie have a vital job indeed! Help us show these two some love! 🦷🩷
