If getting your child to brush their teeth feels like a daily struggle, you’re not alone—and a few small changes can make a big difference.

Try this approach:

• Let them choose their toothbrush (color, character, or style)
• Use a timer or song so brushing feels fun and predictable (aim for 2 minutes)
• Brush together so they can copy your routine
• Make it a non-negotiable routine, just like bedtime stories or pajamas

If your child has a toothache, clean the area around the affected tooth. Rinse thoroughly with warm water or use dental floss to remove any food that may be impacted between teeth.

If pain persists, contact your child’s dentist. Do not place aspirin on the gum or aching tooth, and avoid applying heat to the area.

TIP! When a tooth becomes loose, you can encourage your child to gently wiggle it with their tongue or clean fingers. This natural movement helps the tooth loosen on its own when it’s ready.

Avoid pulling or forcing the tooth out prematurely, as this can lead to unnecessary discomfort, bleeding, or irritation of the surrounding gum tissue. Most baby teeth will fall out naturally when the time is right.

Did you know your child should see a dentist by their first birthday? 🦷

Once that first tooth comes in, it’s time to schedule their first visit—because even baby teeth can get cavities.

Starting at birth, gently clean your child’s gums with a soft cloth and water.

Building good oral hygiene habits early helps keep your little one’s mouth healthy as they grow. Even before teeth appear, this simple step can make a big difference!

Is your child involved in sports? Mouth guards help prevent broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face, and jaw. A properly fitted mouth guard stays securely in place while your child is wearing it, making it easy for them to talk and breathe.

Sippy cups should be used as a transition from bottle to cup and discontinued by age one. If your child uses a sippy cup throughout the day, fill it with water only (except at mealtimes).

Frequent sipping on sugary drinks—including milk, juice, or sports drinks—can bathe teeth in sugar and increase the risk of cavities.
