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.

Protect those little smiles early. 🦷

Dental sealants act like a shield for your child’s teeth, covering the tiny grooves where cavities love to hide (and toothbrushes can’t always reach!).

Most kids get sealants when their first molars come in around age 6, and again when their second molars appear around age 12.

Did you know? Most children outgrow bruxism (teeth grinding). Grinding often decreases between ages 6–9, and many children stop grinding altogether by 9–12.

If you suspect your child may be grinding their teeth, mention it to us at your next appointment so we can help keep their smile healthy. 🦷

Brushing is a team effort! 🪥

Most young children don’t yet have the coordination to brush thoroughly on their own. Parents should help or supervise brushing until around age eight to make sure every tooth gets the attention it needs.

What your child eats plays a big role in their dental health. Just like the rest of the body, teeth, bones, and the soft tissues of the mouth need a well-balanced diet to stay strong.

Children should enjoy a variety of foods from the five major food groups, including tooth-friendly options like fresh vegetables, low-fat yogurt, or low-fat cheese.
